Salisbury High School students have been busy recently with many exciting activities including the Student Government Advisory dodgeball tournament, Scholastic Scrimmage and the No Place For Hate shirt sale.

SGA hosted the dodgeball tournament March 23. SGA is a group that organizes events for students at the high school. The dodgeball tournament was an exciting event to raise money to support the SGA. Congratulations to the Average Joe’s, who won this year’s trophy.

Scholastic Scrimmage is a club where students are able to compete against other schools by answering academic questions. The game is played similar to “Jeopardy” with a lightning round after 15 questions have been answered, where the teams have to answer 10 questions in 60 seconds. Scholastic Scrimmage club at SHS competed at the PBS Channel 39 tournament March 28 where the team beat teams from Catasauqua, William Allen and Southern Lehigh high schools. The team had the chance to move onto the semifinals against the Emmaus/Jim Thorpe Team scheduled March 29.

No Place For Hate club members are selling shirts for their final activity for the year.

The goal of NPFH is to promote respect for differences, celebrate diversity and challenge bias/bullying. To be considered a NPFH school, NPFH must organize three events throughout the year. This year, students participated in an assembly called Rachel’s Challenge, that discussed how students should be kind to each other and featured a video that challenged bias by students writing statements about themselves that other people judge them as, but may not really be true. For the final activity, NFPH is going to have students participate in “A Day Without Hate” and have students wear pink or the NPFH shirts with the saying, “Keep it cute or put it on mute.”

The environmental club, a club that promotes environmental awareness in the school, is currently working on two main projects.

Students throughout the school are being encouraged to carry reusable water bottles around to each of their classes to reduce the amount of plastic water bottles being used in the school. The environmental club is selling water bottles with a Falcon logo to students in the cafeteria. In an effort to increase outdoor exposure, the environmental club is also working to open up the courtyard, allowing students to pass through the courtyard in between classes, eat lunch outside and hold occasional classes.
