Field Day Tuesday, June 9th... Summer Enrichment Programs
Dear Lancaster Families,
This week brought us Kindergarten Orientation and 5th Grade Woodbury Move–Up Day. I’ve appreciated how thoughtful and intentional transitions are for students as they begin their school journey and move up through Salem schools. Monday will be the 5th grade culminating field trip to Camp Lincoln. To say that students are excited is an understatement!
***************************
The Elementary Band Concert was held on Tuesday, June 2nd with all five elementary schools performing together for the first time this year. Laura Chicarello skillfully conducted with enthusiasm & style! The students’ dedicated rehearsal time paid off, and they played beautifully.
Are you looking for a fun learning experience for your child during the summer break?
Salem School District's Summer Enrichment Programs for grades Pre-K and up are open for registration. From baking and theater to Legos and soccer, there is something for all interests!

Tuesday, June 9th will be our Field Day! This is an entire day of fun stations like a “Pie Pan Race” and “Rubik’s Cube Relay” as well as our annual tradition of the Fun Run, Tug-of-War, and 5th Grade Kickball Tournament. All students will get a free Kona Ice, courtesy of the Holloway family. Thank you so much!
5th Grade Parents/Guardians are invited to the afternoon events (12:50-2:35). Feel free to bring a beach chair or blanket, sun block & water bottle.
Announcement from Mr. Maynard, our PE teacher…
“Excited for Field Day! Please pack a change of dry clothes including a pair of dry socks for students as we have several water-related activities during stations in the morning this year, and we want to ensure students are comfortable through the end of the day. Feel free to send in a hat and/or sunglasses. Also, please apply sunblock and bug spray at home before the day begins.”
Remember, the Count Down to Summer Spirit Week starts Monday, June 8th! See the attached calendar of spirit days, starting with “wear your favorite sports gear.”

Friday, 6/5 was the last day of the Boys' & Girls’ Club afterschool program. Parents, please update PickUp Patrol with your new dismissal plan for the remainder of the school year.
