Thank you to American Flatbread, 311 Derby Street, for sponsoring a special night for SEF on June 28. We had a great time, ate delicious pizza (and more), and we raised funds toward teacher grants for creative projects for kids in Salem Public Schools. Thanks to all who attended!

We are very excited to announce our 2nd Annual Salem Public Schools Special Olympics Unified Game Day. Kindergarten to post graduate students with various abilities have been working hard during their physical therapy sessions and/or physical education classes to prepare for this event. I am extremely proud of their hard work and dedication. The students have made progress with their motor skills, social skills and peer interactions and are looking forward to participating in various athletic events and celebrating their accomplishments.
