RVO Drive: Helping our Friends at Rowan Vocational Opportunities

Salisbury Academy Christmas Happiness Party and Donations for RVO


Please join us in providing a little Christmas Happiness for some very special people. We are coming together again this year to collect donations for Rowan Vocational Opportunities. Our commitment to RVO and our Christmas Party with the RVO clients have become tradition; these individuals are truly grateful, and this organization is so deserving of our support. RVO provides employment, education, therapy, friendship, and many other services for adults with mental disabilities. The needs of these individuals are for basic items that many of us take for granted. We can work to make sure that each and every one of the 200 clients of RVO will receive a hardy bag of essential items.

We will also accept monetary donations (to the attention of Heather Coulter/checks made out to Salisbury Academy) which will be used to purchase priority and bulk items.

 

A highlight of this partnership is sharing a Christmas party together, which has been sorely missed. It is quite exciting for us to be able to spend this quality time with some dear individuals. Mrs. Coulter’s exploratory is currently planning for this event.


Seventh and eighth graders will take the party and donations to RVO on Wednesday, December 14. There is a particular need for personal items. We are asking for your help with the following:

Toiletries

  • toothpaste
  • toothbrushes
  • women's and men's deodorant
  • hand sanitizer
  • Kleenex tissue
  • Chapstick
  • Q-tips
  • disposable razors
  • shampoo and conditioner
  • body lotion

Clothing Items

  • Women's sweatshirts (medium-3XL)
  • Thermal tops and bottoms for men and women (medium-3XL)
  • Socks for men and women

PSA Staff Christmas Gift

For the next two weeks, PSA will be collecting voluntary donations toward a Christmas Gift Fund for the teachers and staff members of Salisbury Academy. We all know how difficult it can be to find just the right gift for each teacher, so, to make your life a bit easier, you can show your appreciation to the entire staff in ONE CHECK!


PSA will pool all the money received and deliver Christmas cheer to each teacher and staff member before the Christmas break. Checks will be accepted now until Friday, December 9 at the end of the school day.


This tradition was started by PSA many years ago and has been greatly appreciated by the hardworking folks who are so dedicated to our children. The teachers and staff have been SO VERY thankful for the generous donations in the past.


Please make your check payable to “Salisbury Academy-PSA” and write “PSA Staff Gift” in the memo section. Checks may be dropped off at the front desk or you may send in an envelope with your child with “PSA Staff Gift” on the front. Additionally, contributions may be made using the link found in the Jag Weekly. A note with all of the contributing families will accompany each staff gift.
