"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:
As we embark on Holy Week, the events in Nashville last week provide a sobering reminder that our collective prayers are more necessary than ever. It is almost unimaginable to think about the sadness and despair brought on by a tragedy such as this.
And while student safety is always a primary priority, we took time to once again to review our security measures and procedures. Earlier this year, we had a security expert conduct an assessment of school and parish facilities to provide us with information about how to create the safest possible environment for our students and staff. Additionally, in January the full school and parish staff engaged in safety training and we are making plans to conduct a lockdown drill later this month. I will communicate with parents about the timing of the drill and staff will talk with the kids prior to the drill to ease any concerns they may have. It’s unfortunate that we have to engage in these types of activities; however, it is the reality of the world in which we live.
On a more positive note, we are looking forward to all of the activities associated with Holy Week. Mrs. Anderson has arranged for the Labyrinth to be set up in Fellowship Hall and different classes will walk the path during the week. Our last Lenten Stations Of The Cross occurs tomorrow at 1:30 with the 8th graders leading. And of course, the Triduum begins on Thursday night at 7:00.
May you all have a blessed Holy Week and an enjoyable Easter Break!
Take care and God bless,
M. Van Hulle
Principal, SAL

Alter Server Volunteer Opportunity
SAL is looking for students in grades 6-8 to participate as altar servers during the weekend masses. Deacon Dennis will host a training session for those interested and work around schedules so that students can serve at either the 5:00 Saturday service or one of the three masses on Sunday morning. If interested, please let Mr. Van Hulle know and he will connect you with Deacon Dennis. This is a great way to obtain more service hours!

SCRIP
SCRIP is an easy way to raise money for SAL and is a key part of our fundraising activities. Participating individuals also have the opportunity to earn cash back or to accumulate tuition credits (up to $599).
Students will be bringing home information today regarding the SCRIP program and information will also be available on the SAL website.
Please note that there is a SCRIP Program Agreement form included in the packet of information. Families who complete the enrollment agreement AND download the “RaiseRight” app by April 18 will earn a free out-of-uniform pass. For families who are already enrolled in SCRIP via the RaiseRight app or online, you need to only complete the blue agreement form and your child(ren) will be eligible for the uniform pass. Also included is a “Culvers-To-Go-Order Form” which can be used in anticipation of the April 25 Culvers Night.
A huge shout out to Laura Swenson, Ashley Knutson and Ashley Packee who were instrumental in getting SCRIP up and running once again!

High Interest Day
We Need You! On Friday, May 26th, our school will be participating in a High Interest Day. This day is set aside to provide an opportunity for all students to explore different careers, hobbies and activities in a hands-on environment (such as dance, fencing, baking, gymnastics, karate, STEM, and careers such as medical, engineering, firefighting, and more.). We are in need of volunteers to share a career or hobby they are passionate about and lead interactive, hands-on sessions. Sessions will be about 30 minutes long with about 3-4 per half day. We will have sessions in the morning for 3K-2nd grade and in the afternoon for 3rd-8th grade. You can volunteer in the morning, afternoon, or both based on your availability. If you have interest, please reach out to Liz Kurowski at kurowski1017@gmail.com! If you can't run a session, don't worry, we have a need for many more volunteers on that day to help the sessions run smoothly! Keep an eye out for more information soon.

Family Promise - Our Partners in Mercy
YOU can lift spirits of vulnerable people - In 2022 Family Promise received over 800 requests for shelter. The needs of families are growing. Homelessness is a destructive and chaotic force.
YOU can help transform lives - Having a home gives children and families an anchor that allows them to thrive.
YOU can make a difference by volunteering for Family Promise - 69% of families who exit Family Promise of Waukesha County shelter find permanent and independent housing.
Family Promise is embarking on a new static site model where volunteers come to a designated, stationary site to serve families experiencing homelessness. This model will be implemented beginning April 2023. It will take place at the Waukesha Overflow Shelter located at 1210 Sentry Dr, Waukesha WI 53186.
HOW? St Anthony invites you to be one of 2-5 volunteers from 5-8 p.m. for one day. YOU prepare a nutritious meal for 1-5 families and spend time meaningfully connecting with them at the Shelter. Nutrition is vital to mental and physical health, and so is compassion! St. Anthony will have one day each month for 7 months in 2023.
YOU will feel confident you can help after two online training courses - completed at your own pace, and one in person session. Anyone with direct contact must be trained. All previously trained individuals must be re-trained for the new shelter, regardless of what training they might have had in the past.
YOU can help others realize their true potential by being compassionate, listening, and engaging with Family Promise families! For more information check out this website:
