On Friday, October 17 we will be conducting an in depth lab called "Pumpkin Math." In this lab we will be making estimations about pumpkins, taking various measurements of pumpkins, studying their makeup, and then....PUMPKIN CARVING! As you can all imagine, we will need some help to pull this off.
Since we will be allowing students to help carve the pumpkins, parent support is essential.
If you would like to send something in or are willing to volunteer, please complete the SignUp Genius below. Please remember that all volunteers must be a registered Wake County volunteer.
ELA classes will be annotating various texts this year in order to promote deeper understanding, improve information retention, and foster active engagement while reading. Included in those texts are 2 novels that have been WCPSS approved and recommended for use throughout this school year. Salem MS will be offering an optional way for students to purchase the two novels that will be used for each grade level. If your family chooses to purchase the books through Salem's wholesale prices, you will need to login into the SchoolCash Online platform to make sure you've registered your student with the platform. If you paid for anything online last school year, your student should already be registered. If you are new to the district, we encourage you to register as many of our school field trips and other payments can be made using this platform.

Once again, this is an optional opportunity for students to get discounted prices on the two novels utilized. You can also purchase the titles on your own.
Track 3: The platform will go live on August 18th through August 29th for anyone who would like to purchase novels through Salem.
