While we may officially be in spring, we do live in Pennsylvania where Mother Nature tends to need some reassurance and takes some time to make up her mind. I know for sure, I am missing the weather we had recently with the warmer temperatures and hope it returns sooner than later.

Many signs of spring are observable around the township with all the flowers in bloom.

Just a reminder, all Salisbury Township schools will be closed for spring break March 28 through April 1. Schools will reopen April 2.

Mark your calendars. Salisbury Middle School will hold its annual spring concert 7 p.m. April 18. This is always a great event showcasing the talents of SMS students.

The time is quickly approaching. Pennsylvania System of School Assessment testing for elementary and middle schools will occur April 22-24, April 29-30 and May 1-3.

Salisbury High School students will take Keystone tests May 13-14 for algebra; May 15-16 for biology and May 20-21 for literature. Salisbury Township School District asks if possible any appointments and vacations be avoided at this time to complete this testing.

The Salisbury Township Recreation Committee is seeking camp counselors for the 2024 summer playground program.
