December students and teacher of the month

Congratulations to the December Teacher of the Month, math teacher Mrs. Liz Kress.

“Mrs. Kress is an amazing teacher and she works hard to make sure information is made clear to all students. She doesn’t put down other students for not being caught up or not knowing as much. She reviews old information which is necessary with how much we’re learning. It motivates me to ask for help when I need it since I know she won’t judge me for not understanding. I also really appreciate her for taking the time to write out the steps for me when I asked as she did not have to do that, and it helped me understand what I was doing so much more. She also appreciated my art work and makes me feel really happy. Mrs.Kress is one of my favorite teachers and I’m so grateful she’s here and more so that she’s my teacher.” – Alex Dillahunt

“Macee is not only a phenomenal student, but a phenomenal citizen.

Regardless of where you look, Macee truly embodies what it means to be a Sundevil!” – Guidance Counselor Ms. Danielle McGovern

Senior Sara Zimba

“Sara Zimba is someone that lights up a room when she walks in. She is a hardworking student inside and outside of the classroom with being the editor of the newspaper, a member of the SCA, and Salem’s Leadership Workshop staff. But, the main thing that I love about her is that she always seeks to help others. She doesn’t want the credit, she wants to make sure those around her are doing the best they can. Sara represents Salem in the best possible way.” – SCA sponsor Ms. Meredith Holt
