| Learning and Growing as a Community |
Dear Salisbury Academy Families:
Growing together as a community, staying on the forefront of research in education, and the development of healthy children are key focuses at Salisbury Academy. As part of this ongoing endeavor, it was an honor to host
Screenwise author Devorah Heitner at a recent evening event.
In her presentation, Heitner urged the audience to look differently at the relationship between children and technology and to serve as technology mentors to our children as they navigate their digital worlds. Thanks to all who joined us, and stay tuned for more learning opportunities to come!
Sincerely,
Beverly Fowler, Head of School

Middle School Science Teacher Mrs. Shea Overcash shares:
The LandTrust for Central North Carolina's Leopold Society has an ultimate goal of cultivating the next generation of conservationists, and Salisbury Academy's middle school students are up for the challenge. Students in grades sixth through eighth are enrolled in the program and have been given a Conservation Passport booklet to document their outdoor activities, service projects, and personal growth as young stewards of the environment.
As part of the program, students are given exciting opportunities to make a positive impact on outdoor ecosystems. This past Friday, sixth- through eighth-graders participated in a LandTrust sponsored conservation hardwood tree planting event. Over 5,000 hardwoods were planted in the ground. We rolled up our sleeves and embraced our muddy boots, knowing that our work on this land is important and that, one day, a multitude of species will call this forest home!
Another recent partnership was the participation of three SA students in the LandTrust's Annual Youth Duck Hunt. On February 10, early in the morning, Lucy Woods, Luke Bryan, and Hank Webb represented Salisbury Academy in the hunt. This unique adventure teaches our youth about ethical and safe hunting practices and the role that hunters play in conservation.
Salisbury Academy is incredibly grateful and honored to have a wonderful partnership with The LandTrust for Central NC.
