Dear families,

Hi Salmo parents, guardians, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers and friends!

I wish you all happy holidays filled with relaxation, family time, rest, and fun.

The Salmo Elementary Winter concert and sing along was a great success! After several years of hosting digital events, it was so wonderful to have an in-person concert. With overwhelming outpouring of support from parents, grandparents and the community, we were able to fill our gym and it was standing room only! 

The Gr. 3/4 class at Salmo Elementary are great gift givers! During the holidays they are always thinking of others. It is tradition for them to make cards and gifts for the local senior centre so that cheer and friendship can be shared at this time of year. Students worked hard for several weeks on their crafts. They made 130 original cards, and an equal amount of varied types of ornaments. They crafted with wonderful smiles on their faces and were so pleased to brighten the day for others. Well done, Salmo students!

Winter is officially here at Salmo Elementary! Students are enjoying all the benefits and fun of outdoor play. Students can be often seen sledding, digging and building out in the playground. There have been snowmen, forts and new elements of play in our yard. Several classes regularly take their play to the local forest to explore winter in there as well.  It's wonderful to see them come back in with rosy cheeks and happy smiles!
