 Panther Volleyball
It's been a fun
and successful volleyball season so far!
Our last regular season games are Saturday morning at Whitman Middle School. JV plays at 8 am and Varsity plays Blaine at 9:30 am.
The varsity team is really hoping to win this game! We have won 5 of 7 games this season so far. The two games we lost were close. Each time we won one of three matches and lost one of the matches by just two points. A win tomorrow would secure a spot in the playoffs. Come cheer us on!

Earlier this month four of us from our counseling and admin team attended training on Leading Restorative Conferences. We really appreciate the gift of time to pull back and reflect on our current practices and think about how we develop supportive structures for our learning community. The article,
Defining Restorative
, lays out a framework for restorative work.
We are committed to working to ensure that our processes are fair and work to repair the community for all when harm is done.
Our BLT has also been working with staff and community members on updating Salmon Bay's Vision Statement. This week we reached consensus on wording based on community and staff input. We are gathering feedback until June 15th (send to [email protected]) from staff and community members with a goal of finalizing this before the end of the school year.
We are glad to be in partnership with you to support student growth and development.
Neil, Darren and Annie
Salmon Bay Admin Team
