Pumpkin Math?

These students in Mrs. Phillips' 3rd grade class stepped "outside their box" and teamed up for Pumpkin Math.  The students had to have a plan, gut their pumpkins and remove the seeds.  Let the measuring and calculating begin!  
Way to go, Mrs. Phillips and class!

If You Think It Is Going On...
You Must Be At C. L. Salter School!

IT is happening-just this week alone-
Our staff and students have IT going on!
We've capped bad drugs 
We've gone inside-out-
We wore our red today
We know what IT'S about!

We'll sock it to drugs tomorrow
We won't have any sorrow!
We'll team up against drugs
We'll have fun at the Fall Fest
We've voted for the best pumpkins....
Salter is just the best!

Our teachers rock here every day
They teach us to read and write what we say
They make cool stuff
To help us learn it all;
We feel so much smarter
And it is just the Fall!

Fund Raising Rewarded

In an effort to help our school's success with our cookie dough sale, the top prize was to get to be "P. E. Teacher/Coach for the Day!"  I'm sure the students saw their new coach this morning and we hope they all had a great day with their P. E. teacher!  Congratulations, La'Kelvius Kelley!  You sold the most cookie dough!  We all appreciate your hard work and hope your day in charge of the P. E. classes was all you though it would be!  Kudos to Coach for his inspiring role with our successful cookie dough sale.  Thank you, Mrs. Dye for giving up your student today!  As always:  C. L. Salter Elementary School is the greatest place on earth to grow and learn!


Loving yourself just opens the door
To friendships and loving others more.
Living Drug-Free is the coolest, ever!
Bad drugs are knives that destroy and sever!

Gladly wear your hats
To "Put the Cap on Drugs"
And always remember:
Hugs are better than drugs!

Salter Elementary School students, teachers and staff gladly support the efforts of Red Ribbon Week.  Here is a daily activity list for the week:

Monday:  "Put a Cap on Drugs" (Wear red/crazy cap)
Tuesday:  "Drugs Turn you Inside Out" (Wear clothes inside out)
Wednesday:  "Wear Red Day" (Wear red clothing)
Thursday:    "Put a sock on Drugs"  (Wear crazy socks)
Friday:  "Be on a Drug-Free Team" (Wear favorite team jersey)

All students are given Drug-Free Red Ribbons to wear.  They are encouraged to sign an "I Pledge to Be Drug-Free" promise.  We wish we didn't have to address this topic but, unfortunately, drug abuse is a problem in our world.  We can't keep our children from seeing bad things but we can all work together to teach them how NOT to be a part of the bad!

 Do You Want to Buy Some Cookie Dough?


 Kick-Off Day for the Cookie Dough Sale!  Even teachers
and staff are excited!

 The packets are counted and ready to go home.  Have you
read yours?

 Have you asked your teachers and staff at school if 
they would like to buy some cookie dough?

 I love the way the students listened to Mr. Booker
as he presented the prizes.

 I think Mrs. Hester would like to win these shoes!

We are ready to sell!

The wonderful thing about fundraisers
Is not the prize we achieve.
It's that we help our school
To dream and believe!

With every tub of cookie dough
That's sold to neighbors and friends
Helps our school to do fun things
For memories that never end.

If everybody does their part
Successful we will be....
Success for all begins with a word
That word is simple...me!

The more you sell, the more you win
The prizes are fun to win.
