Orchard Heights Dental is proud to call Salem our home and love to support young people and the community. I AM... is an exciting opportunity to create a platform for students and teachers at Straub Middle School to thoughtfully select a word that represents their individual identity and potential. The campaign creates conversations around our uniqueness and how we see ourselves. It helps define how to broaden acceptance among family, friends, and in the community.
On Tuesday, December 5, 2017 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm we will transform Straub Middle School into a photo gallery, displaying and celebrating the I AM... photos and following the exhibit we invite attendees to enjoy the Orchestra Winter Concert. The exhibit honors young people and the teachers who have impacted their lives. The exhibit is open to the community and will include refreshments, messages of hope, and will create an opportunity to start a conversation and celebrate why we love calling Salem our home.
“I am very glad I had the chance to participate in the I AM… campaign. The team was very kind and made me feel comfortable enough to share my personality. It made me think about what I value in life and in myself and helped me to appreciate those qualities even more.”

“Sometimes I feel brave and sometimes I don't. Seeing the word on my hand at the I AM photo shoot reminds me to be brave even when I'm not feeling it.”
