“This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”

Luke 22:19

September 18, 2023

From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

Fundraising plays a critical role in financing many of the fine offerings and opportunities here at SAL. Our goal with fundraising is to not only raise needed money for the school but to also allow those who are participating to have a bit of benefit as well. Whether it’s the chance to win a few dollars from the calendar raffle or the opportunity to enjoy a butter burger at Culvers, there are potential perks for engaging in the various fundraising activities.

To that end we have a Culvers Night coming up next week (9/26) and encourage those who will be attending to purchase a SCRIP gift card. Order forms will be coming home in the next few days and are due back by this Thursday, September 21. Also included in this newsletter is information about the upcoming Catholic Schools Walk which will take place on Saturday, November 4.

A special thank you to all those who volunteer to help with fundraising activities – we couldn’t do it without you!

Have a great week ahead – a reminder that we have an in-service day on Friday so students have the day off.

Take care and God bless,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL
