Salt Creek School District #48 Parents: Fall Break Monday, November 20th- Friday, November 24th. Classes will resume on Monday, November 27th, 2023. Have a safe break!


Today SC Primary came together for our school-wide November gathering. We read a book about being thankful for our friends, joined in a Thanksgiving "Feast" together (our morning snacks), and Mrs. O taught us a Turkey song! Wishing all of our Viking families a Happy Thanksgiving!






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!
