Attention Salem

After School JAMS will start on Wednesday. It will run on Wednesdays that are full days of school through December. At this time, we are needing more volunteers to step forward to continue the program beyond December. If you would like to help with JAMS or have questions, please speak to April Carlson or Stacie Gorkow.

 Please drop off cleaned, label-free cans at the church for use in an upcoming craft project for JAMS. We are looking for tuna cans, soup cans, and vegetable or fruit cans. All sizes are welcome.
