Fall Fundraiser Season: Go team SA! 
Dear Salisbury Academy Parents,

Our fall fundraiser sale officially kicks off tomorrow and runs through October 24. Salisbury Academy is excited to partner with Genevieve's and their wide selection of wrapping paper, candies, and gift items for the sale.
These quality products are a great way to ask a neighbor, co-worker, or family member to support Salisbury Academy. The sale is also a wonderful opportunity for your children to show their SA pride and have a hand in supporting their school!

I would like to thank Carrie Bardinas, our parent volunteer, for her time and help with this fundraiser. Sell online by sharing the below link with friends and family. The site is live and orders can be placed as early as today!

The Joy of Giving: JK/K Giving Parties
On Thursday of this week the JK/K classes celebrated their first giving party of the year. Giving parties are held every three months in honor of the students who have birthdays that quarter, and at each party students bring in "gifts" for the birthday students to open.

PSA Dress-Down Day
Fri., Oct. 28
Students in grades 1-8 will enjoy a non-unifom day by bringing in $2 and a canned good.
What makes the parties so meaningful is that the gifts are all donations for a community cause, and the party activities all revolve around educating students on the needs of others. Gifts at this week's giving party were canned goods and non-perishable items to be delivered to Rowan Helping Ministries. 

Students also made bean soup mixes for families in need and decorated bags to deliver the food in while listening to a story about a soup kitchen. While these young students are still quite small, they are already making a big impact on the surrounding community! 

Because SA Knows No Limits

At $22,788 in Annual Fund pledges, we are on our way to our goal of $70,000. 
Now, we need YOU to help us reach our goal!
