Living Like the Saints

Happy New Year from the SLTE Faith Committee!

Saint of the Day Calendar - January

The diocese is hosting YOUTH 2000 again this year. Its unfortunately is the same weekend as the Gala. We are organizing groups from St. Lukes since it is preferred that they go with their parish group vs individual. We need to know which kids and adults are attending from St. Lukes, so I've created a signup on planning center. However, they need to register through the diocese webpage to pay and sign waivers. It is for children aged 13-18. Here is the link to the St. Luke's events page listing the details. https://slte.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3319449

Beginning in January, we will be strictly enforcing the dress code. Athletic joggers (including tapered/jogger-style pants) are not permitted, and tennis shoes are the only allowed footwear. Teachers will notify students and email home for violations. After a third violation, parents will be contacted to bring the correct item to school. Questions may be directed to Mrs. Hade or Mrs. Hazel.

Winter Schedule – No classes week of 2/16

- Program: Grandmasters of Chess (Grades K – 5)

- Summary: Since 2004, YEL has offered chess classes for tens of thousands of kids. These budding grandmasters start the program learning the basics of piece movement, capture, check, piece value, and of course, sportsmanship. Students shake hands at the beginning and end of each game.

- Dates: Tuesdays @ 3:30pm – 8 weeks (1/13 – 3/10)

- Program: Robotics: Muscle Bots (Grades 1 – 5)

- Summary: YEL robotics classes keep all kids engaged with hands-on, experiential based activities. Each class, students will design, build, program, test, and modify different robot projects. For instance, students will build a monkey, program it to play drums and sing. I mean, why not – it’s fun!

- Dates: Thursdays @ 3:30pm – 8 weeks (1/15 – 3/12)
