Dress Code There is a dress code that must be followed at this school or the student will be asked to change or be sent home. This dress code is pretty self explanatory.

People cannot wear anything that has alcohol or drug advertisements on their clothing. The clothing must not contain sexual or vulgar words. When wearing your clothes you cannot have an cleavage, bellies, or other indecent exposure hanging out. When wearing skirts or shorts they must be long enough so when you put you arms straight down to your sides you finger tips aren’t touching any skin past the skirt or shorts. This is about two inches above the knee. When Halloween comes around students cannot wear full face paint or masks (anything that makes the student unrecognized).

Booster Club The booster club is people in the community and parents that are willing to help with the “activity groups of Salmon High School” (Salmon High School) to raise money. The booster club helps raise money for these activity groups because they know that the district has a certain budget which makes it, so the activity groups can’t do everything they want to do. The groups that get help from the booster club are the groups that have been involved with the club before and that show need for money. The booster club raises money at “home athletic events; Annual Orange Sale; Concessions at the Salmon High School; Select Horse Sale; Special Annual Fundraiser” (Salmon High School). The concessions stand that the boosters help with is where they sell candy, drinks, and food at home sports events. The group that helps with the concession stand that night gets all the money made. To become part of the booster club people fill out memberships and donate a little money. This usually happens in the fall.
