From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
Each Monday morning during Advent we gather as a school community to pray around the Advent Wreath. This morning the 6th graders led the school in prayer as we lit the “Shepard’s Candle,” the pink candle, a color which is a liturgical color for joy. And if you were at mass this past weekend, you celebrated “Gaudete Sunday” which is meant to remind us of the joy the world experienced at the birth of Jesus, as well as the joy that the faithful have as we reach the midpoint of Advent.
This past weekend my wife and I attended mass “up north” and Father Thomas did a nice job of reminding us of the importance of patience during Advent. Specifically, Father Tom encouraged us to remember that patience is a critical element in being joyous during what can be a stressful and harried time of year. A good reminder for us to be patient with ourselves and to be patient with others as we make our way toward the day of the birth of Jesus.
Gathering with students and staff this morning to kick off the week was certainly a joyous way to kick off our day and week. It’s our hope that you have a joyous start to your week and we look forward to the joy that will be spread at the Christmas Concert on Wednesday evening!
Take care,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

Volun-CHEER!
Heather Waldraff
Heather and her family are new this year and we are so happy you have found a home here at St. Anthony on the Lake. Heather is active in many ways within our church and school. She substitute teaches, she is a Eucharistic Minister, and we are so grateful for all of the time and love she puts into our church and school. However, she is specifically getting recognized this week for her dedication and going above and beyond the required 3 volunteer duties per trimester. Heather can be found quite frequently on our playground or in our lunchroom helping out. She had THE MOST volunteer spots covered during the 1st Trimester. Thank you so much for helping our school day run smoothly and allowing our teachers and staff to take their well deserved break.
If you have anyone whom you would like to nominate for this recognition, please contact Ashley Packee at ashley.packee@gmail.com
