Dear Salisbury Academy Parents:
With the year coming to a close and a new one beginning, we celebrate how our students have grown and progressed during the year. It is also the perfect time to reflect on our school and express our appreciation to our families.
I truly feel blessed to have the opportunity to spend my days learning, loving and growing alongside some of the finest people I know! The SA family is made up of great educators and support staff who have a passion for helping each child grow in their gifts and abilities. The mission of Salisbury Academy does not only touch the lives of our students and their families; it also extends to our Board of Trustees and the surrounding community as these children give back through thoughtful community service.
Thank you for the privilege of working with your children each day and for the many ways you partner with Salisbury Academy. We wish each family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Please look for your next Jag Weekly on January 1, 2017!
Sincerely,
Beverly Fowler, Head of School
