SA Fund: Did you know?

Each year, the SA Fund supports a special project of excellence that goes above and beyond daily essentials—enhancing the student experience in meaningful ways.

Last year’s project brought a dream to life: With the extraordinary generosity of an anonymous donor — and $12,732 in excess SA Fund contributions from our families (beyond our $50,000 goal)— Salisbury Academy has purchased a brand-new, 72-passenger school bus!

Stay tuned next week for more details on this year's project of excellence!

The Book Fair is Coming to SA!: October 14-17

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to SA, Oct. 14-17! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Mark your calendars for this exciting week!

Visit our school’s Book Fair homepage to preview the Fair details and set up your child’s eWallet! It is easy for families to set up and easy for others to contribute! eWallet lets your child shop independently and choose books they want to read. After the Fair, any unspent funds become a Scholastic eGift balance to use at a future Fair or to shop online.

All the best and happy reading,

Mrs. Sharp
