From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
SAL is abuzz with a host of Advent and pre-Christmas related activities occurring.
Last Tuesday, we kicked off the Advent Season with students and staff by hosting an Advent Wreath Prayer gathering. Mrs. Anderson’s Student Government Reps led us in prayer and it was a solemn, yet stirring way to kick off Advent. We will light one of the Advent candles on each of the next three Monday mornings.
On Friday, the 8th graders helped deliver Giving Tree tags to each classroom while today, Mrs. Huettl’s first graders are performing their Nativity play. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we celebrate St. Nick with an out of uniform day.
Our musicians have been busy preparing for the Christmas Concert scheduled for Wednesday, December 14. The concert will take place in the church beginning at 6:30. A reminder that students in grades 3K-5K are asked to dress in their “Christmas best” for the concert while students in 1st through 8th grade will wear white tops and black bottoms. If black bottoms are difficult to find, students can wear their uniform bottoms. Boys are welcome to wear a festive tie; however, no light-up ties please.
It is our hope that your Advent Season is off to a great start and that you have a blessed week ahead!
Have a great Monday!
Thanks,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

In order to make this happen we need the help of our amazing SAL families! We are looking for any type of treat donation - cookies, candy, etc. In addition, we are looking for help to assemble the bags. Thank you for considering assisting with spoiling our staff this month. Please sign up to assemble and/or provide a treat bag item.
All donations should be dropped off to school by December 12th. Feel free to send with your child - just label the donation "Staff Treat Bags".
