April 24, 2023

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

Football has its Super Bowl. Baseball has its World Series. And for our aspiring actors and actresses, they have performance weekend. This upcoming Friday and Saturday, our talented school and Faith Formation students will be performing Aladdin Jr. Opening Night is Friday @ 7:00 and shows on Saturday take place at 4:30 and 6:30. All performances take place at the Pewaukee High School auditorium. At the 5:00 mass this past Saturday, Father Tony led a blessing of the cast and crew of Aladdin Jr. (see picture below). The blessing is designed to honor students (and staff) for the countless hours spent in preparation for the upcoming performances. A special thanks to Jamie Fraundorf and her talented and dedicated team for all their efforts in putting on such a high quality show and to Mr. Regenfelder, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Schleifer, Mrs. Brunner, Susan Goggins, and Mrs. Huettl for their assistance as well. It is our hope that the PHS Auditorium is filled to capacity this weekend in support of our talented students and staff. Break a leg!

Have a great week and God bless!

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL

Kyler's Krew

As many of you may know, Kyler Hogan, who will be joining the SAL family as a 3K’er next year, is courageously battling leukemia. Kyler and his family (Nolan, grade 4 and Ana, grade 2) have been in our prayers and you may have witnessed friends of the family sporting “Kyler's Krew” gear as a sign of support. Please know that if you’d like to join in supporting the Hogans you can access Kyler's Krew items via https://www.bonfire.com/store/kylers-krew/. Of course, your prayers are also very important and very much appreciated! The proceeds go to benefit Kyler's ongoing treatment as well as other kids battling childhood cancer.

First Student Bus Families

First Student requires registration for the bus every school year. If you reside in the Waukesha School District and use First Student to transport your children to and/or from St. Anthony, please complete this form by June 15 so they can plan for bussing for next school year.

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!

Safe Environment Education

Anyone who is volunteering in any manner here at St. Anthony on the Lake will need to participate in a one-time training titled “Safe Environment Education”. This training is mandated by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Training is now available virtually. To register please go to “Safe Environment” page on the Milwaukee Archdiocese website and click on register for Safe Environment (on the left hand side of the page). Again, this training, along with a background check is a one-time training requirement for all adults.

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:
