As we continue to strengthen communication between home and school, we invite you to share your thoughts through our 1st Quarter Feedback for St. Luke’s Form. Your input helps us grow and serve your family better.

If you have questions about your child’s progress, please reach out directly to their teacher.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for being such an important part of our St. Luke’s community.

Together, We Are St. Luke’s—committed to helping every child thrive.

You’re invited to an all-school chapel as we remember and celebrate all the saints—past and present—who have shared their God-given gifts in forming the Body of Christ.

In 1 Corinthians 12:4–14, Paul reminds us that although there are many kinds of gifts, they all come from the same Spirit. As a school community, we will give thanks for the saints—those we love but see no longer, as well as those living among us—who help point us to God by sharing their gifts with the world.

In preparation for this special chapel, students will decorate small boxes during Bible class and Advisory. Students will honor the saints in their lives by writing their names and the spiritual gifts they’ve shared on their box. Students are also welcome to bring a small (3x3) copy of a photo of a loved one or pet who has passed away to place on or inside their box.

On Nov 3, students will carry their decorated boxes into chapel and place them around the altar as part of our celebration.

Students are invited to bring veteran family members to chapel to honor their service. Veteran family members are invited to join the procession into chapel with their student, following the cross. If a veteran is unable to attend, the student may hold a photo for the procession. There will be assigned seats for students and their veteran family members.

RSVP here if you are bringing a veteran family member and to submit a photo of your veteran

We’re excited to launch a Chaplain’s Word newsletter from Sarah Kates! Whether you're looking for the chapel guide, core values, or prayer resources, it's all in one place.
