The Glance

From their very first visit, the Howards knew St. Luke’s was something special. As proud parents of 4th grader Adele, they’ve seen firsthand how our community nurtures kindness, curiosity, and confidence in every student.

“We are so grateful that St. Luke’s is our home away from home,” they share in this heartfelt video.

Join the Howards and many others in supporting the St. Luke’s Fund — every gift strengthens our school community and helps our students thrive ❤️💙

We’re excited to invite parents to join their child for lunch in our newly renovated Parish Hall, now home to delicious meals prepared by Chef Evan Wintermantel, our new school chef! With a focus on fresh, healthy food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, lunchtime at St. Luke’s is a joyful moment of connection, conversation, and community.

Parents are welcome to sign up for a designated lunch day by grade—there’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to participate. This is a special time to share a meal, see our beautiful new space, and experience a meaningful part of your child’s day.

Note: PK3 and PK4 will be included at a later date.

For questions, reach out to Iris Escandon or Valerie Vied.

We can’t wait to see you in the Parish Hall!

We’re excited to bring back our Door Dads tradition! Starting Friday, October 17 through May 1, dads (and father figures!) are invited to join us Friday mornings from 7:45–8:00 a.m. to help greet students and open car doors during carpool.

Each Friday is assigned by grade level, so be sure to check your student’s designated day. We look forward to seeing our Door Dads back in action, spreading smiles and starting the day off right!

Note: No sign-up required, just stop by the front desk on your grade-specific day!

We’re excited to support and showcase the businesses within our St. Luke's community. If you or a family member owns or operates a business, we’d love to include you in our upcoming Business Directory. This directory will be shared with the St. Luke’s community to encourage local connections and support.

This invitation is open to everyone in the St. Luke's community — including current parents,

alumni, grandparents, faculty, and staff. If you’re part of our extended St. Luke’s family, we’d love to highlight your business!

Please fill out the form below with your business information. Your participation helps us celebrate and strengthen our community! Thank you for being a valued part of St. Luke’s!

We can't wait to see you on the Hilltop for an evening of FUN at Fall Family Fling on Friday, October 24th, 5:00-7:00!

Fall Family Fling is FREE to attend, but you'll need tickets for games, activities, food, and beverages. All students will receive 10 free tickets to get the party started. Additional tickets will be sold at the event, but here's your chance to pre-purchase and save yourself from standing in the ticket line! Tickets will be ready for pick up when you arrive at the event, or you may also pick up on October 24th during school hours from the front office. Deadline to pre-purchase tickets is Sunday, October 19th.

November dates are now live! Come have lunch on Tuesday, October 21st, Thursday, October 30th, Monday, Nov. 10th, or Monday, Nov. 17th. More dates will be available each month, so stay tuned!

In order to join students for lunch, grandparents and special friends must sign up below. Please note that there are a limited number of sign-ups per grade. We kindly ask that you only sign up once so all grandparents and special friends have a chance to join students during the year. Due to food allergies, we do not allow outside food or beverages.
