|
The Salisbury Academy Booster Club is excited to announce our first-ever Shoot-a-thon fundraiser! All proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the athletic department to purchase new uniforms and equipment. Pledges are being accepted now through March 18. The Shoot-a-thon will take place during students' PE classes on March 19 or 20.
How it works:
*First, students ask for pledges from neighbors, friends, or fans using this link.
*Next, each student will be given 3 minutes to shoot as many shots as possible.
*The number of shots made multipled by the pledge amount will be the donation total.
*Pledge invoices will be emailed after the event.
Note: In lieu of a pledge amount, a one-time donation to the Shoot-a-thon can be made in your student's honor using the Shoot-a-thon link.

Important Health and Safety Update | |
|
The CDC has released new guidelines for individuals with any respiratory illness. As the threat from COVID-19 becomes more similar to that of other common respiratory viruses, the CDC is issuing Respiratory Virus Guidance, rather than additional virus-specific guidance. This brings a unified, practical approach to addressing risk from a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, such as influenza and RSV, that have similar routes of transmission and symptoms and similar prevention strategies.
CDC’s first recommendation for people who get sick with a respiratory virus is simple: Stay home and away from others. It suggests returning to normal activities when symptoms have been getting better overall for 24 hours, and if a fever was present, it has been gone for 24 hours without use of a fever-reducing medication. A five-day isolation is no longer required, and masking days 6-10 is no longer required.
We will update the language in our handbooks to reflect this new guidance.

Sixth Grade Poetry Study
To complete a recent poetry unit, sixth grade students listened to "Sympathy" by Paul Laurence Dunbar and "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" by James Weldon Johnson. Students analyzed the poems' historical connections and celebrated the significant contributions by these artists to American artistic movements.
