From the Desk of Mr. Marty Van Hulle, Principal

SAL Parents:

If you attended mass at SAL this weekend, the bulletin included our Open House Infographic which highlights some of the ways in which we strive to meet our Mission to Live, Seek, Commit, and Serve. This upcoming Sunday, January 28, we get the opportunity to further highlight all of the wonderful people and happenings at SAL through the hosting of our annual Open House. From 10:00 – 1:00 on Sunday, SAL welcomes all current, as well as prospective new families, to tour our facilities and meet our staff. We are excited to show off all we have to offer and look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday! If you have any interest in volunteering, sign up today!

Take care and God bless,

M. Van Hulle

Principal, SAL

Here is a little information on Catholic School's Week starting on Sunday, January 28th.

Cereal Food Drive

Catholic Schools Week 2024 is fast approaching, and this year’s outreach project is a cereal drive for Jim Luther New Hope Center. Cereal is an item that food pantries need and can easily distribute. We are asking students and staff to bring boxes of unexpired whole grain cereal that is low in sugar. Please avoid cereal with surgary marshmallows or chocolate coating. Our goal is 500 boxes of cereal by Thursday, February 1, so we suggest that each student and staff member bring 2 or more boxes of cereal. Our Cereal Drive will conclude with a Domino Toppling of Cereal Boxes in our gym on Friday, February 2nd at 1pm!
