Dear Salisbury Academy Families:
This time of year is one of my favorites, and not just because of the promise of cooler weather. Almost one quarter into the school year, the strong connections between students and teachers and among students and their peers are evident in the hallways, classrooms, on the playground and athletic fields, during community field trips and outreach, in the after school help sessions, and throughout the Salisbury Academy community.
Students are known, loved, and thoroughly supported through their academic and personal journeys at Salisbury Academy. As I reflect upon the growth and bonds that have flourished during this first quarter, these unique connections and successes stand out as several of my personal favorites and my greatest reasons "why!"
I am pleased to share that we are almost halfway to our 100 Reasons Over 100 Days Annual Fund goal of $85,000 and have already achieved 100% participation from our board of trustees. To all who have given and to all who will soon make their contribution, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. For all these reasons and more, we thank you!
Warm Regards,
Beverly Fowler, Head of School

Pedaling Through an Exciting Quarter of Middle School Exploratories
|
|
|
|
First quarter middle school exploratory classes are well under way and students are immersing themselves in areas of interest! A key focus of this year's offerings is to create community connections as students delve deeper into their curiosities. A cycling exploratory led by experts from The Pedal Factory is offered this quarter and will run again next quarter, and in the second quarter students will have the opportunity to learn yoga and meditation with Heart of Yoga operator and instructor Nye Hartwick.
In addition to the cycling exploratory, students in sixth through eighth grades have chosen from a number of other exciting classes: Advanced Art (a two-quarter offering to allow students to take on projects of greater depth), Frisbee Sports, and Powerful Presentations. Students from the Powerful Presentations class (pictured directly above) will present on different school virtues in the coming months both at chapel and in various grade levels of SA's classrooms.
As a final exploratory offered this quarter, students in fifth grade are honing their organizational, time management, and executive functioning competencies through an exploratory on study skills.
