Today around 9:45am, the Washington County Sherriff's Office brought 5 dogs into Fort Frye High School to conduct a random sweep of the building to search for any illegal drugs or substances. We went on a soft lock down and kept everyone in their regular classroom during the drill to keep the hallways clear for the dogs. Staff and students did a fantastic job during the drill and we appreciate our local law enforcement working with our schools to keep them safe for everyone. #ArmourUp

Students solving problems is hosting a Valentines Spirit week! Can wait to see your spirit!

The Wellness Committee established this week, 2/10-2/14, as Random Acts of Kindness Week. The Salem-Liberty staff, is asking to honor one of their former students who was tragically killed in a car accident last week. Her name was Josie Treadway Cunningham. Josie was truly the sweetest and most kind-hearted person. She always thought of others and often considered their needs before her own. This week, in her honor, we want you to "Be a Josie". Be kind. Think of others, have a kind heart, and do for others.
