A Bear Visits Classroom Of School Teacher Ironically Named Ms. Salmon

As summer comes to a close, everyone is preparing for the first day of school, including the wildlife. As this teacher was preparing her room for the new school year, an unexpected visitor stopped by to visit her. A bear decided to give this teacher quite the scare as it entered her classroom while she was setting up.

A Unexpected Visitor In The Classroom

Ms. Salmon is a teacher at Peak to Peak Mountain Charter School. She was back at school setting up her classroom for the upcoming school year when she left to make some copies. While she was down the hall, the four-legged visitor snuck into her classroom.

Elaine Salmon told 23 ABC News , “When I came back, I opened my classroom door, and there was this bear charging towards the door.” Elaine thought quickly and closed the door, locking the bear inside. However, her cell phone was also inside the classroom.

With quick thinking, Ms. Salmon made her way down to the office. There, she used that phone to call her husband for reinforcement. When he arrived, he knocked on the window to get the bear’s attention away from the door.

Bears Like Ms. Salmon

Once the bear was distracted, Ms. Salmon opened the door and let him out.

“The thing is, sadly, you have to hold the door open for it to stay open,” she continued.

This means these brave individuals had to hold the door open as the bear passed through it.

Although the bear got much closer than Ms. Salmon or her husband would have liked, he passed through the door without incident. He then made his way back into the woods. Luckily, there was no damage to the classroom. The only thing he got into was one of the classroom’s earthquake kits.

Students typically have snacks in the kits in case of an emergency, and the bear helped himself to those during his school visit. While the school has never had a bear enter the building, they have drills to prepare for encounters with local wildlife.

We don’t know what prompted the bear to enter the classroom, although the irony of the bear visiting a teacher called Ms. Salmon cannot be lost. Since this encounter, the school has taken additional measures to ensure all its students are safe.
