Happy Spring Break
Salem Schools Families,
On behalf of Salem Community Schools I want to wish everyone a Happy Spring Break! Our "official" week off will run Monday March 22 through Friday Friday March 26. We will return with in-person instruction on Monday March 29th. Whether you are travelling across the country or having a staycation, I hope Spring Break brings rest, relaxation and many Free Smiles for everyone. Roar Lions!
Expect Victory!
