From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
Happy Catholic Schools Week! This week provides us the opportunity to celebrate our Catholic faith while at the same time allowing for some fun, varied activities for the kids – a nice break as we wind down the month of January.
Our week started yesterday with Open House and what a great day it was! Jamie Von Rueden and her crew did a fantastic job of ensuring that we were poised to showcase all of the great things occurring at SAL. Thank you to all who participated in setup, touring new families, arranging for student essays, distributing donuts and goodies to participants, and any other activities which helped us welcome current and new families.
A reminder if you haven’t yet completed your registration for the 2023-24 school year to please do so as we will be making enrollment decisions in the next few weeks.
Thank you once again to all who participated in Open House yesterday!
God bless and take care,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

Ronald McDonald January Outreach
For our January outreach opportunity, the students at St. Anthony on the Lake School want to help children in Eastern Wisconsin who are battling cancer and other diseases by collecting items for Ronald McDonald House Charities. At a Ronald McDonald House, “families can stay together, rest and recharge to remain strong for their child, interact with families going through similar experiences, enjoy home-cooked meals and receive compassionate hospitality from staff and volunteers — all just minutes from the hospital where their child is receiving care.” This organization is requesting items in several categories: household items and office supplies, food, toys and books, gift cards, auction fundraising items, and “Big Shoes” items. Use the link to the Wish List flyer to see the specific items that are requested. The items in blue indicate their greatest need. Donated items can be brought to school and placed on the display in the kindergarten lobby. Gift card donations should be sent to the office in an envelope labeled “RMHC Collection.” We will collect items from Tuesday, January 17 – Friday, February 3, 2023.
