WOW! Salem’s Night of the Arts this week was PHENOMENAL! I hope all of our families were able to come walk through the art show, see the performance of Aladdin, and even stop by the book fair! We had a wonderful turn out each night and we are so thankful for Ms. Calvert, Ms. Malpass, and the countless PTA volunteers who helped pull off these incredible events!
