“This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”

Luke 22:19

February 12, 2024

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

As was the case last year, we had a tremendous response to our annual Parent Survey. This link will take you to a summary of results which also includes a comparison to the data collected in the 2022-23 school year. As a staff, we have reviewed the data to celebrate those areas of high satisfaction and to brainstorm ways to address those areas in need of improvement. Additionally, I’ve met with each teacher to review their individual survey results. Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the survey – your input is invaluable as we strive to provide the best program possible for our students and families.

We celebrate the start of Lent this week with Ash Wednesday mass at 8:00 AM. May you all have a blessed Lenten season!

Take care and God bless,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL
