Saber Sorting 2023

Salem Academy's annual tradition of Saber Sorting will be held on Wednesday, August 30 starting at 4 p.m.


Hosted by the student-led Athletic Council, Saber Sorting kickstarts the year with a burst of school spirit. New students are "sorted" into their school team colors and then the whole school participates in field games. It is a great time for spirited competition and a display of school unity! There will be no athletic practices on this day allowing everyone to participate. 


Students are encouraged to wear clothes that they are comfortable getting a bit messy in – it's all part of the experience! Day students may be picked up after 5:30 p.m. at the Academy Athletic Fields.
