Bringing our Outdoor Learning and Play Space to Completion
Dear Salisbury Academy Families:

Each year, attendees at Salisbury Academy's Bloom gala and the wider community of SA supporters have an opportunity to help expand the opportunities of students in our school community and beyond through the Bloom Fund-A-Need. Past Bloom Fund-A-Needs have raised funds for technology and outdoor learning.

This year's Bloom Fund-A-Need will raise funds to complete SA's Outdoor Learning and Play Space. Fund-A-Need dollars raised will enhance the grounds with greenery, connect the various playground elements through trails and landscaping, and provide boulders, lighting, sound wiring, and infrastructure for the space. This final phase will reintroduce native plant species through trees, shrubbery, and ground cover, and weave all of the elements together in a lush and beautifully orchestrated network of areas for play and discovery. 

Below, enjoy a video sharing more about this exciting final stage of our Outdoor Learning and Play space. On March 17, join us for Bloom in Celebration and help to bring this dynamic outdoor space to completion! For those unable to attend, donations can be made at: Outdoor Learning Space Fund-A-Need.

Sincerely,

Beverly Fowler, Head of School
