Mr. Salvo was a fun art teacher at Floyd Light Middle school. He used the "white glove" test with a piece of white paper to test the cleanliness of our desk tops!

I will always have a special place in my heart for Ron Salvo. Some of my best years working at David Douglas School District, were working as Ron's secretary at Floyd Light Middle School. Keeping you in my thoughts Suzie!
