Dear Salisbury Academy Families:
On March 17, Salisbury Academy will host our Bloom in Celebration
25th anniversary gala at the NC Transportation Museum. We very much look forward to celebrating our school's rich history with a mix of current parents, alumni parents, and alumni students! Also adding to the excitement, the gala is chaired by Salisbury Academy alumna and co-owner of The Lettered Lily, Taylor Sexton Durham.
Bloom in Celebration will offer a night of food and fun, with gourmet selections, a sensational
live auction, and dancing to the tunes of The Band Punch. Bloom also provides our school with the opportunity to invite the greater community to join us and support our many efforts with our own students and efforts in the community. It is an amazing night that offers fun and fellowship!
Each year as part of our live auction, Salisbury Academy offers a Fund-A-Need auction item that goes directly to enhance our school.
Bloom's annual Fund-A-Need campaign for 2018 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.
I hope you will get your paddles ready to raise in support of this exciting opportunity!
RSVP's are due soon, and the night would be incomplete without you, our parents! We invite you to join us and other Salisbury Academy families for a night that will support our students and our active community service outreach.
Our Bloom e-communication this week will feature more about the many exciting live auction items that will be available this year. You don't want to miss this evening!
Sincerely,
Beverly Fowler, Head of School

A Seuss-a-riffic Week of Fun: Reading Across America
|
|
Librarian Mrs. Karen Isenhour shares:
"The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Students and staff at Salisbury Academy took those words from Dr. Seuss' famous book, Oh The Places You'll Go!, to heart this past week, with festivities celebrating Read Across America, an annual celebration commemorating Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2. His real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel, and he also wrote and illustrated books under the pen name Theo LeSieg.
SA celebrated Read Across America Week with activities which honored some of our favorite Dr. Seuss books. The week began with Crazy Socks Day on Monday to celebrate Fox in Socks. The Cat in the Hat, Sneeches, the Lorax, Whos from Whoville, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and Horton the Elephant were some of the Seusstastic characters roaming the SA hallways and classrooms on Wednesday for Dr. Seuss Character Dress-Up Day. Wednesday was wacky with mismatched and inside out clothes in honor of Wacky Wednesday. The Cat in the Hat was celebrated on Thursday with Zany Hat Day, and on Friday students and staff wore green in honor of Green Eggs and Ham.

First-graders and second-graders competed to find out which class could read the most pages at school and home during the week. Students in the third and fourth grades also competed for bragging rights as they kept records of pages read at home and school. The prize for the winning classes will be books purchased with Book Fair Bucks selected by their teachers for their classroom libraries from the Scholastic Book Catalog. The top reading classes will be announced Friday, March 9!
Dr. Seuss' zany and exuberant characters, along with his appealing style of rhyming text, has helped millions of children learn to read. He believed in making learning fun. From
The Lorax and his cautionary tale about the environment to
Horton Hears a Who which reminds us that everyone is important, there are countless bits of truth and life lessons to be learned in his books, no matter the age of the reader.
Read Across America Week was fun and full of reading! Remember what Dr. Seuss said,
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
Any direction you choose."
