From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

This week marks the end of the second trimester. A reminder that on Thursday, we have an early release day (11:30 dismissal) as staff will be using the afternoon to work on report cards. Trimester 2 report cards will be distributed early next week. Please note that there are no EDC services on Thursday due to the early release. On Friday, students are off as staff will be participating in Sustaining the Mission training from the Archdiocese. We look forward to celebrating Mrs. Anderson on Friday evening at the church Gala where she will be recognized as a recipient of the Profile in Faith award - congratulations Mrs. Anderson! Each Tuesday during Lent at 1:30, SAL students and staff will be partaking in Stations of the Cross – all are welcome to attend.

Have a great week ahead!

Take care and God bless,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL
