SA Stories: The Cordasci Family
|
"Since Blake has been at Salisbury Academy I have really enjoyed watching him grow and develop new skills over the years. What has most impressed me through our experience is how Salisbury Academy itself continues to grow and develop as well. It is exciting to see the consistent effort that is put into giving our students the education and skills that they will need to be successful not just today but far into the future as well."

Nick Cordasci, SA Parent

School-Wide Day of Service at Rowan Helping Ministries
|
A product of the imaginations and hope of Salisbury Academy's middle school students, Thursday's Day of Service demonstrated the living, breathing presence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy in our community.
Beginning with a student-led chapel, the full-day, school-wide Day of Service launched students and staff in all grades in performing service acts for Rowan Helping Ministries, from the creation of artwork for the organization's lobby to doing work on-site including food packing and cleaning.
|
|
The Day of Service was designed and led by middle school students, and a middle school exploratory was dedicated to planning and organizing the event. In the weeks leading up to the Day of Service, middle school students in the Day of Service exploratory went out into the community seeking insights from stewards and leaders through video interviews. Their final video project can be viewed at
MLK's Legacy: Alive in our Community
At the Day of Service chapel, students spoke on the original intention of MLK Day as a day dedicated to service.
“Today we are excited to live out Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream with all of you," said fifth-grader Adalyn Yost.
Guest speaker Erica Taylor of Rowan Helping Ministries shared on importance of service and expressed gratitude to SA's students for the impact they make at RHM year-round.
From chapel, students and staff dispersed for a day of filling a variety of needs at RHM, living out the message of MLK:
"
Everybody can be great because anybody can serve... You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education."
~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
