Join us this Tuesday for Master Planning Focus Group Parent Sessions

Salisbury Academy, in partnership with the Little Diversified Architectural Firm, would love your input in shaping the master plan and future of Salisbury Academy.

The team from the Little firm will be on campus on Tuesday, April 16 for two designated stakeholder group times:

8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 16

2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16

Feel free to join for whichever session is best for you. No RSVP required.

Each group will meet with the consulting team for 50 minutes and provide feedback and ideas for our campus master plan. Some questions for you to consider as you prepare for the conversation: What spaces/places do you currently use on campus? What works well for you today? What does not work so well? What would help you/your school be more successful in the future? What types of spaces/places would help you/your student be more successful?

We look forward to listening to your comments, thoughts, and ideas!

Lost and Found Clean-Out

The Lost and Found is full of clothing, and we'd love to get items back to the families who are missing them! Please have your child check the Lost and Found. All unclaimed items will be cycled into the Uniform Closet or donated at the end of this week.

The SA Uniform Closet is open during school hours, M-F. Stop in to peruse items and get ready for the 2024-25 school year!

In PE with Coach Wilson

Pictured above and below, fifth grade students delighted in the challenge of a 9-hole putt-putt course in PE with Coach Wilson.

Putt-Putt and Discovery in PE with Coach Wilson

Coach Wilson's 1st-8th grade PE classes finished their putt-putt unit this week! Kindergarten students also got to play the 9-hole course and experience the SA gym transformed into an exciting putt-putt world. Coach Wilson shared that the kids loved it and had a blast! In his classes, Coach Wilson focused on putting skills, teamwork, and the use of geometry and angles when putting.

Prior to this PE unit, students enjoyed their first-ever unit on pickleball and used a pickleball set that last year's 8th grade class gifted to the school. The unit was nicely timed with the warming spring weather, and a number of SA students have reported that they've now started playing pickleball on their own in the evenings and weekends.

PE units over the course of the year offer both well-known sports as well as other sports and activities not so well-known, such as cricket. The more traditional units generally follow the athletic seasons of the year, such as basketball, volleyball, and soccer.

Next up, Coach Wilson's PE students will head outdoors for a unit on frisbee golf!
