Salt Creek School District 48

Albright Middle School students spent the last two days packing food for The Feed My Starving Children organization. They were complimented by many people during this service trip and impressed us all with their hard work and dedication.

The Albright Orchestra put on an amazing show for a full audience this evening-our Vikings music program is impressive!

Student Council put on an amazing Winter Dance at AMS!!

Salt Creek earned a prize drop today! Mrs. Ferraro's Kindergarten class made their goal of using classroom tools and our prize drop landed on CHALK DAY! Students took advantage of the warm afternoon to come together on the blacktop and chalk together. Way to go Little Vikings!
