Salem is the perfect example of respect. She treats everyone she encounters with kindness and is a role model for all of her peers by following the rules and always staying on task. She works very hard at her recess shift, constantly coming up with new and fun games to teach the students so it is always fun. She never complains when things get tough. Instead, she sees her challenges through to the end. Always sharing encouraging words and high-5’s to other junior coaches and classmates, Salem really understands what it means to be a Junior Coach on and off the playground.
