From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal

Dear Parents,

Happy Spring! With our snow last week and temperatures in the 70’s this week, we know we must be in living in Wisconsin!

The videotaping of the first part of the Spring Concert went very well. Next Monday, May 3, we will finish up with the 3K, 4K, and 5K classes. We will announce the release date in a couple of weeks.

Tuesday is our April Culver’s Night. Be sure to get your Out of Uniform Pass to be used the week after MAP testing. Speaking of MAP testing…Grades 5K – 8 will be MAP testing beginning May 3. Please be sure that your child gets a good night's sleep and eats a healthy breakfast before coming to school. A full stomach helps the brain to be more alert!

Finally, May 1, students may begin to wear uniform shorts to school, except on Mass days. Please try on shorts before wearing them to school for the first time. Shorts may not be more than 4 inches above the knee. Also, please be reminded that gym classes and recess are all outdoors so please dress for the weather – even if the calendar says May!

Blessings,

Mrs. Ellen Knippel

Fall Athletics and Athletic Committee
We are hoping that Fall will bring Athletics back to our schools (grades 5-8). We need to reconvene our athletic association since we haven't met in almost a year. We need to regroup, recharge, and recommit our committee. NOW is the time to join. We cannot have an athletic program here at SAL without parents to serve on this committee - even though Athletics formally begins in grade 5, parents of students in any grade are welcome to join. An organizational meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 27, at 6:30pm in Fellowship Hall. Please enter through the kindergarten doors. This meeting is for members who wish to continue to serve on athletics along with new members.

Olympic Day, May 28
It's back! Friday, May 28th is our planned Olympic Day for our students. If you are interested in helping plan and or work on this day, please contact the office. This is an exciting and fun day for our students! Please let us know if you are able to help us out.
