November 21, 2012 Salome High updates Salome's Busy, Busy Month At Salome high school we have a wonderful month full of activities, and entertainment. We had forty-five students attend the Frog Challenge trip to the State Fair. Frog Challenge is a day dedicated to the 9th-12th grade students that have a 3.0 or higher GPA or perfect attendance. These students were able to learn about bodies and to enjoy the Arizona State Fair. The Frog Challenge hap- pens near the end of each quarter. On November 8th, the Salome high school band went to Bouse to play for the Veteran's Day Program at Bouse Elementary School. It went very well. They played a number of patriotic songs. We all showed our gratitude for everything the Veterans have done for us and for protecting our free- dom. We had a Veteran's dinner on November 11th at the Salome VFW. A lot of people attended the dinner and many SHS students helped out. The sports banquet, on November 14th, recognized the many players that participated and played their hearts out in volleyball and football.
