Building our School community

by jennifer titterton

Saltus Association President

The Saltus Association starts each year with three goals in
mind: to bring families together and develop a sense of
community; to offer informative programmes for our parents;
and to raise much-needed funds for initiatives that benefit our
students. We feel we were successful in all these in 201112.

Parents and staff attended our Bingo Night, informational

meetings, summer camp fair and the Saltus-to-Saltus
Run/Walk in numbers greater than we have seen in a while.
Please continue! Your presence and participation help to make
this a truly special community.

Thanks to all of you, our 201112 fundraising efforts were

successful throughout the year, raising more than $112,000.
Such efforts culminated with a truly amazing "Round the
World, First Stop Bermuda" Soirée and Raffle.

Each year, the Saltus Association earmarks money raised to

fund innovative enrichment initiatives proposed by the School
community. In 2012, we financially supported $100,000
towards renovations to the Secondary Department Science
labs; $20,000 lighting on the Field; $10,000 towards the new
Saltus van; awards for the Upper Primary prize-giving; the
Debate Committee; the girls' field-hockey trip; and the SGY
prom committee.

We thank our teachers and administrators for all they do

to inspire our children and continuously raise the bar. To our
families, it is a true pleasure and privilege to serve you. Saltus
is a special school where wonderful things happen every day.

Our fundraising soirée helped renovate Secondary science labs.
