December 3, 2014 www.DesertMessenger.com 25 RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER thank you! The students at Salome High School have been very busy. The fall 2014 Sports Banquet was held on November 18th, where student athletes received participation awards and letters for playing varsity sports; and some received special recognition plaques. For volleyball, Most Valuable Player was awarded to senior Katrina Garcia, junior Esmeralda Cruz received the Coach's Award, Most Improved went to junior Stephanie Claytor, and fresh- man Hannah Scott was given Rookie of the Year. For football, Offensive Player of the Year went to junior Jared Wolfe, Most Inspirational went to sophomore Ryan Guerrero, Best Teammate was awarded to sophomore Thomas Rees, and Rookie of the Year was given to freshman Manuel Gavilanez. Both the boys' and girls' basketball teams have been working hard to prepare for the season. The teams are practicing rigorously for improvement. The boys' coach, Mr. Johnson, says that the team will be intense, one of the fi t teams, and will have a good sea- son. Mr. Schuldt, the girls' coach, says that the team is young but energetic, and they've been working hard every practice. He also said that the girls are excited to play, and he plans to get back to the team's winning ways. The fi rst game was November 25th against Mayer at Mayer; the fi rst home game is December 2nd against Bagdad. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are working to raise money; the sopho- more class is currently selling beanies for $15 and the senior class will also be holding a movie night at the high school on the 4th. Any contributions are greatly appreciated. The school's science club has excit- ing things planned, with a virtual fi eld trip to learn about mining in Arizona. Michael Best participated in the virtual fi eld trip to learn about mining in Arizona. He says he really enjoyed the watching how mining is in Arizona. He was very excited about science club and what they are going to be do- ing this year. Interested students are beginning to prepare for the Science Olympiad competition in the spring. The Interact Club, a club in its fi rst year at Salome High School, will be sending out shoe boxes full of neces- sities and gifts for children across the world this holiday season. FBLA, also known as, Future Business Leaders of America, will start selling coffee and hot chocolate in the mornings to stu- dents and teachers in December. The fi rst quarter honor roll and perfect attendance assembly was on Novem- ber 17th, where students were awarded with ice cream and a certifi cate of their achievement. In total, there were almost 30% of our students that had Perfect Attendance, and over 50% of our students that made Honor Roll; 14 of those students were on Gold Honor Roll which means they had a GPA of 3.8 or higher.
