🎶 You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!

One of the sweetest moments of our 8th Grade Recognition Ceremony came as our 1st grade students serenaded their 8th grade buddies with "You Can Fly."

At Salisbury Academy, cross-grade friendships are a special part of the Jaguar Journey, creating meaningful connections and opportunities for students to encourage and support one another along the way.

To the lunch service superstar who went above and beyond every day to bring smiles to our faces, today we celebrate Nancy Gokey!

After 14.5 years of serving Salisbury Academy students through Habeeb Catering, Nancy is heading into a well-deserved retirement. Known for her festive hats, fun earrings, themed outfits, and joyful spirit, she made lunchtime a favorite part of the day for countless students.

More than serving meals, Nancy built meaningful connections with "her kids." When asked what she'll miss most, her answer was simple: their daily conversations.

Nancy, thank you for the joy, kindness, and care you've shared with our community over the years. Congratulations on your retirement, and best wishes for a wonderful next chapter! 💙

Hello, pollinators, and welcome to the SA Wildflower Garden!

Thanks to the hard work of our Green Team and a few last-day-of-school finishing touches, coneflowers, yarrow, speedwell, coreopsis, and other native blooms are thriving. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators have a beautiful new place to visit all summer long! 💚

Thirty years is an incredible legacy.

Over the past three decades, Sandy Jordan has done far more than teach and care for children - she has helped shape Salisbury Academy into the school we are today. Through her dedication, warmth, and unwavering commitment to students, Sandy laid important foundations, touched the lives of hundreds of children and families, and helped cultivate the culture of learning, community, and care that defines SA.

As Sandy transitions to retirement, we thank her with full hearts for her years of service and the countless ways she has enriched Salisbury Academy. Thank you as well to everyone who joined us last week to celebrate her remarkable career.

Sandy shared this note with our community:

"I want to thank everyone for acknowledging my retirement. Every note and kind word is etched on my heart. During my time at SA, I have had the privilege to work with amazing faculty and students. Every day has been filled with fun and joy. As I enter this new phase, I will take so many sweet memories with me."

Thank you, Sandy, for 30 wonderful years. Your impact will be felt for generations to come. 💙

Congratulations to the Salisbury Academy Class of 2026 as they cross the commencement stage and step boldly into the next chapter of their journeys. 🎓

This class leaves Salisbury Academy with far more than a transcript. They leave as thoughtful problem-solvers, compassionate community members, confident communicators, and resilient leaders - prepared not only for college and careers, but for meaningful lives of purpose and impact.

As they go forth from Salisbury Academy, we send them off with immense pride and deep gratitude for the ways they have shaped our school community. Their stories are only beginning, and we cannot wait to see the good they will bring to the world.

We are so proud of you, Class of 2026. Go forward with confidence. You are ready. 💙

Today, we celebrated a remarkable group of Salisbury Academy 8th graders as they marked the completion of their middle school journey. 💙

Through heartfelt reflections shared by teachers, we honored each student’s unique gifts, growth, character, and contributions to our community. One especially meaningful moment came as their 1st grade buddies performed “You Can Fly” - a touching reminder of how much these students have grown and how brightly their futures shine.

We are grateful for the ways this class has led, learned, served, and shaped our school community.

Congratulations, 8th graders. We are so proud of you! ✨

SA's fourth grade wrapped up their study of the Constitution with an unforgettable off-campus adventure to Raleigh! Students toured the Governor’s Mansion, Capitol Building, and Legislative Building while experiencing government in action firsthand. The highlight of the day was watching the House in session and participating in a private interview with Senator Ford. What a meaningful way to bring classroom learning to life in the final days of the school year! 🇺🇸✨
