"Arise! Shine, for your light has come, the glory of the LORD has dawned upon you." Isaiah 60:1

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal
SAL Parents:
Just prior to the start of school, staff members of both the parish and the school came together for an all day retreat. Our theme for the day (and year) centered on the concept of gratitude. We were all gifted with Kristi Nelson’s book, Wake Up Grateful, as well as a daily gratitude journal. These items help us keep our focus on being thankful for all of the good things, and good people, we enjoy in our lives.
Each Friday in my weekly staff bulletin I highlight some of the things for which I am grateful. These items are usually a combination of items both personal and professional.
This week I am feeling especially grateful for all of the kind, respectful and fun kids we have at SAL as well as the kind, caring, hardworking staff that I am fortunate to work with. This was especially evident on Wednesday when severe weather unexpectedly rolled into the area and we had to make accommodations to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in the building.
While a wide variety of individuals pitched in, Mrs. Huettl, in particular, rose to the occasion by reading aloud to students during their stay in St. Anthony Hall. Students responded beautifully to the situation and shortly after the all clear signal was given, things were back to business as usual in an orderly and efficient manner.
Days like Wednesday serve as an excellent reminder that we can never take for granted all we have and of the importance of being grateful for the people we have in our lives.
Take care,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

Marriage Enrichment Committee
"I do". Those two simple words representing their choice to love each other and be there for each other all the days of their lives. Although only two people said those words on the wedding day, there is a community at SAL here to support couples all the days of their lives. SAL's Marriage Enrichment Committee focuses on giving support and encouragement to married couples through faith based and fun experiences. Past events include trivia and game nights, wine and cheese socials, and guest speaking experiences. The committee meets every other month to discuss and plan out the two to three events each year. If you feel called to help plan activities and events that will allow couples to reconnect, build, and grow their faith and marriage together please consider joining the committee. All are welcome. We hope you say "I do" to being part of the Marriage Enrichment Committee.
The Marriage Enrichment Committee will be meeting at 6:30 on November 9. Anyone interested should contact Maribeth Blankenheim at heimers5@mail.com.
