Last night the #SalemMA Witches beat Winthrop 50-30 & at halftime we cut the ribbon to celebrate the new parquet floor in the gym!
Not only is the new floor safer & better for athletics, it’s removable, so when the new high school project is complete we can install it in another school building. 🏀

These units are specifically designed to allow air circulation and reduce carcinogenic exposure for our firefighters. We funded these in this year’s capital budget and members of the Fire Department team helped install them over the last weeks.
