Live the Gospel Values Seek the Lost Commit to our Faith and to Academic Excellence and Serve Others "Arise! Shine, for your light has come, the glory of the LORD has dawned upon you." Isaiah 60:1

September 26, 2022

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal SAL Parents:   English/Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics are the cornerstones of a strong academic program. One of the critical components of a high-quality ELA program is student exposure to high-quality literature.  At SAL we are working hard to increase the volume of literature available to our students. It is important for our students to have a wide variety of texts available to them that not only matches their academic ability but that is also interesting and engaging. Fluidity and comprehension are super important elements in building the reading skills of students. Promoting the love of reading is an equally important goal. Our work to expand our catalog of books has us embarking on several formal and informal activities designed to increase our inventory. Lindsay Schweikert and Rachel O’Connor are spearheading a Book Fair which will take place the week of October 16. Students, parents, and others will have the opportunity to purchase books of interest which will help us fund the purchase of other titles for students. Proceeds from the Catholic Schools Walk on Saturday, November 5 will also help us fund the purchase of additional books and recently, Marlo and Cliff Johnson led an effort to secure dozens of books from a local school district. And finally, at some point during the year we will host a Book Drive where parents and community members can donate gently used books that were used in their households when their children were learning to read and learning to love the printed word. It is our hope that you will join us in supporting our efforts by participating in one (or more) of the events noted above. We look forward to continuing to build our stock and thank you for your support of our kids and our school community! Take care,   M. Van Hulle Principal, SAL
