Wishing our Jaguar Families a Very Merry Christmas! 
Dear Salisbury Academy Families,
 
The season of giving is in full swing at Salisbury Academy! Walking the hallways or observing in the classrooms, it is clear that the hearts of our students, faculty, and staff are filled with kindness and thoughts for others.

The annual Rowan Vocational Opportunities Christmas party was a great success, and for this we thank our dedicated middle school students and faculty as well as our generous SA families who contributed items for our friends at RVO. From the caroling and reading at area retirement communities, to the fifth grade tree at the Arc of Rowan Festival of Trees, to the busy planning for our upcoming January day of service in partnership with Rowan Helping Ministries, the holiday cheer and love of service is strong in this Jaguar community.

Wishing you and yours a very full and fun Christmas and a happy New Year! Note: Please look for your next Jag Weekly on Sunday, January 5.

Warm Regards,

Beverly Fowler, Head of School
