It's time for The Matchmaker! Shows on Thursday and Friday evening and on Saturday afternoon.  Come one, come all!

Thank you Salmon Bay teachers, for all you do!

Saturday May 5th is the FOSB Annual Retreat in the School Library. 

We will begin gathering at 9:00 am. Email Jodi Russell if you plan to attend.
This year we will be talking, among other things, about how to make project based learning an even deeper and more substantial part of academic life at Salmon Bay. Please join us! This is a fun event that includes both parents and teachers. People bring snacks—and we talk, focus and try to plan for next year. Please join in! Full agenda available in the weekly bulletin.

Salmon Bay student Leo Pfeiffer was interviewed about his video on free speech and the First Amendment, Who Owns Free Speech. The film was the middle school first prize winner of C-SPAN's StudentCam documentary contest. Watch the interview here.

This week is Administrative Professional's Week, so if you get the chance let our office staff of Karen, Marcia, Edna, Faye and Nurse Julie know how much you appreciate the work that they do.  Our school would not hum without them.

Poetry night returns to the Salmon Bay Library, Tues. 4/24 and Wed. 4/25 at 7PM- Come sign up

From SPS:
The Seattle School Board on Wednesday decided to extend the school year by two days to make up for January’s inclement weather.  The last day of school will be Friday, June 22. Seattle students lost three days of school in January because of severe winter weather conditions. One day was made up on Jan. 27.
