From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
Thank you to all who participated in Open House yesterday – it was a great way to kick off Catholic Schools Week! We especially want to thank the staff and volunteers who had the building looking fabulous and to the members of the School Advisory Commission who did so much to help us showcase all the great things about SAL.
Catholic Schools Week activities are occurring each day this week (see below) and we are well on our way to collect our goal of 500 cereal boxes to donate the Jim Luther New Hope Center – thank you to all who have donated thus far!
We are getting closer to finalizing our school calendar for the 2024-25 school year – all that remains are final dates from the Archdiocese regarding the timing of our Sustaining the Mission staff development days – these dates are the final pieces of the calendar puzzle. A reminder that next year’s calendar includes an end of March Spring Break (March 24-28). We learned this past week that in addition to the local public schools, each of the Catholic high schools in the area (CMH, DSHA, and Marquette), are all hosting their breaks during the same week. This makes coordinating schedules for those families with connections to other schools so much nicer.
Have a great week ahead and God bless,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

Catholic Schools Week
Happy Catholic School's Week! Our theme this year is "God Is Here: Live, Seek, Commit, Serve." We wanted to thank you for choosing St. Anthony's on the Lake to serve your family! We are honored to help each child learn and grow. Thank you for the trust you have placed in our school. This week is truly a celebration of all of the amazing things that our Catholic School community can do! A big thank you to all of our staff and volunteers at yesterday's Open House. It was a great way to kick off this week!
All of the great activities for our Catholic School's Week celebration can be found on this link.
MAP Test Results
We will be sending home the winter MAP test results with individual children in grades 5K-8 later this week. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions.
Cereal Food Drive
Catholic Schools Week 2024 is fast approaching, and this year’s outreach project is a cereal drive for Jim Luther New Hope Center. Cereal is an item that food pantries need and can easily distribute. We are asking students and staff to bring boxes of unexpired whole grain cereal that is low in sugar. Please avoid cereal with surgary marshmallows or chocolate coating. Our goal is 500 boxes of cereal by Thursday, February 1, so we suggest that each student and staff member bring 2 or more boxes of cereal. Our Cereal Drive will conclude with a Domino Toppling of Cereal Boxes in our gym on Friday, February 2nd at 1pm!
