Church raising money to reopen school

The Salisbury Seventh-day Adventist School is looking for ways to reopen its doors.

The 70-year-old school shut down in May after efforts to raise $42,000 to repay a debt to its conference fell short.

John Klaver, a member of Salisbury Seventh-day Adventist Church, attended the school and would like to see the school, which included first through eighth grades, reopen next year. He said the church hosted a yard sale Saturday and will be selling citrus fruit and vidalia onions to raise money in the future.

“Other than that, we dont have any direct plans for fundraisers. There has been a lot of talk about different things we can do,” he said. “What we’re doing at this point is working toward getting the funds to pay down the debt,” he said.

Klaver said the church has taken on the responsibility of paying off the debt and determining when to reopen.

“At this point, we really haven’t talked about a timeline for reopening.,” he said.
