“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:

I hope everyone enjoyed the extended weekend - I was able to take a trip up north on Friday to visit my parents and the fall colors were in peak form!

A reminder that we are switching to an online payment process for hot lunch beginning Monday, November 6. We will be prepping students for the new process and parents should have received a personalized email from the folks at KM early last week. Unfortunately, KM had a recent software update and emails ended up being sent out from messenger@kmsd.edu instead of foodservice@kmsd.edu. Please check your spam folder if you didn’t receive this information.

At mass on Wednesday, Mr. Regenfelder will participate in the sacrament of Confirmation with Mrs. Huettl serving as his sponsor. This special ceremony will provide a great opportunity for students to be witnesses to Mr. R’s commitment to grow in the knowledge, love, and practice of his Catholic faith.

On Friday we will celebrating Halloween. Our 3K, 4K, and 5K students are allowed to wear their costumes to school while all other students should bring their costumes with them to change into after lunch. Friday will be an out-of-uniform day for students and our annual parade for first through eighth graders, led by Mrs. L’Empereur, will take place at 1:30. Festivities continue with Trunk or Treat beginning with car setup at 5:00. Thank you to Megan Hendrix, Kathryn Connor, and Jackie Wendorf, for their good work in planning this event.

Register today for our Catholic School's Walk Event! We have received generous donations from Toppers Pizza and other local stores for light refreshments. Thank you to Liz Djassemi and Angela Rodriguez for their hard work planning this event!

Have a great week ahead!

Take care and God bless,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL
