Students of the Month!

The Saline Middle School is proud of the Student of the Month program! In an effort to recognize and encourage the many positive accomplishments of our Middle School Students, we have launched this initiative. All staff members, including custodial, clerical, teaching, administrative and para-professional are encouraged to nominate students who they feel should be recognized for their efforts. Students are nominated in one of four basic categories: Academic Achievement, Environmentally Conscious, Personal Accomplishment, and Social Service. These categories were created to embrace all of our Middle School students, and not just one particular type of achiever. Congratulations to our Student of the Month winners!
