Holiday Music and Memories

Dear Salisbury Academy Parents: 

On Thursday of this week our JK/K classes will present their annual Christmas Show. The show will be performed for the school during this week's chapel time on Thursday and again on Thursday evening for an audience of parents, friends, and family.

A sweet and beautifully coordinated performance by our youngest learners, the show also serves as a fond memory for our students as they mature and progress through their time here. Many of our older students who began with us as kindergarteners will recall with enthusiasm whether they were a donkey, angel, or some other Christmas role, and many of them can even recite the words to the songs that they sang.

We eagerly await the two musical celebrations of Christmas that lie ahead, both in our JK/K show and in the upcoming Christmas Extravaganza on December 16. Join us for the festivities as our children and Dr. Rob share their holiday cheer and musical talents!

Sincerely,

Beverly Fowler, Head of School
