“This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”
Luke 22:19

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
Can it be possible that, on Friday, we will have concluded one-third of the 2023-24 school year? With the close of trimester one, student report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, November 28.
The start of a new trimester brings with it a reminder that volunteer expectations include 3 opportunities for every family each term. Trimester 2 Sign Up. The past few weeks we have struggled to find full coverage for our volunteer openings and while we recognize the challenges for some families to assist with our lunchtime needs, please know that we do have a list of available substitutes to assist, and we are always willing to work with families who have unique situations. A huge thanks to so many who do so much with their commitment to serve to help us be at our best – we appreciate you!
And finally, with the Christmas season fast approaching, please note that we have moved the start of our December 13 Christmas concert to 5:45 as our band director, Mike Krofta, has two different concerts he needs to juggle that evening.
Take care and God bless,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

2024 Annual Stewardship Renewal
With the 2024 Annual Renewal, we are invited to reflect on how will we be Christ to others? How are you being invited to be the presence of Jesus to those in need? Our annual stewardship renewal is an opportunity to both express our gratitude for the many ways we have experienced the presence of God, and to recommit ourselves to be the body of Christ in our community. Will you join us on that path?

House of Peace Food Box Drive & Fundraiser Opportunity
In the month of November, St. Anthony on the Lake School is participating in a project to help those in need. We will work with our parish on a project called the House of Peace Holiday Food Box Drive to provide a holiday meal to families who are unable to afford the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Each student will bring two food items selected from a list of specific items so that classes can fill holiday food boxes for the House of Peace.
A slip was sent home with each child that indicates the specific items that are needed. Food items can be sent to school with students beginning on Monday, November 6 through Friday, November 17, when the boxes will be packed.
Thank you for your support of this outreach project sponsored by our student government.
In addition to the classroom food boxes for the House of Peace, all school families and parishioners are invited to participate, with Family Program families, in our annual Food Box Packing during Family Program. We have found it to be a great family activity and wanted to open it up to more families and parishioners. There are 2-time options to sign up. You are welcome to bring something to contribute to the boxes, the list is in the sign-up link, but it is not necessary in order to participate. Please let Debbie Kusch know if you have any questions. kuschd@stanthony.cc
