From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
It’s hard to believe that we are a third of the way through the school year and that we are a few short days away from Thanksgiving! It’s been a great first trimester and we have a lot to be thankful for as we look forward to celebrating with family later this week.
Yesterday at mass, Father Tony talked about the difference between having a “scarcity” approach versus an attitude of “abundance.” Those with an abundance approach view their world through the lens of positivity and gratitude for all that we have and all we have been given. Conversely, those who live in the scarcity world, are oftentimes cynical, pessimistic, and angry.
I’m guessing we all know someone who falls into each of these camps. And similarly, we all know that we want to surround ourselves with those with an abundant attitude as they are positive, optimistic, and forward-thinking.
I’m fortunate to work in a building full of “abundant individuals.” This applies to our students, our staff, and our leaders in the parish. Positivity and optimism abound at SAL and we have much to be thankful for.
It’s my hope that you and your family have a great Thanksgiving week and that your lives are filled with great abundance.
God bless,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

Parent Volunteer Expectations
St. Anthony on the Lake School is a strong, vibrant school due to the help of many volunteers! This year we are fortunate to provide more variety of volunteer opportunities to parents and be able to use classroom volunteers. In addition to any volunteer duties you wish to do, all families are expected to sign up for 3 specific duties per trimester. This includes playground, lunch serving, lunchroom helper, or health room. If you are unable to come to help during the school day, you are asked to sign up and then get a sub from the sub list.
Please sign up for your required three time slots! These are our immediate needs:
Nov 21 - Lunch Server (2)
Nov 29 - Lunch Server (2), Lunch Helper
Nov 30 - Playground Helpers (2), Lunch Servers (2), Lunch Helper
Dec 01 - Lunch Helper
Dec 02 - Lunch Server (2)
All duties will take place from 11:15-12:45pm (11:30am arrival time for Health Room).
Please note: ALL volunteers must participate in Safe Environment education before they may
volunteer.
Safe Environment Education
Anyone who is volunteering in any manner here at St. Anthony on the Lake will need to participate in a one-time training titled “Safe Environment Education”. This training is mandated by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Training is now available virtually. To register please go to “Safe Environment” page on the Milwaukee Archdiocese website and click on register for Safe Environment (on the left hand side of the page). Again, this training, along with a background check is a one-time training requirement for all adults.

Prayers, Gratitude, and Celebration |

**Please keep Eli Hansen in your prayers.**
Prayer for Thanksgiving
Heavenly Father,
On Thanksgiving Day, we bow our hearts to You and pray. We give You thanks for all You've done, especially for the gift of Jesus, Your Son. For beauty in nature, Your glory we see, for joy and health, friends, and family. For daily provision, Your mercy and care, these are the blessings You graciously share. So today we offer this response of praise with a promise to follow You all of our days.
Amen
