The Glance

Art, theatre, and music—oh my! It’s beginning to look a lot like MasterPeace. We are delighted to invite you to our Visual and Performing Arts Holiday Showcase, a special celebration honoring the Master of Peace.

Please review the invitation for all important details, including featured middle school performers, VIP concert seating, and more! This year, families will have the chance to pre-order framed artwork during the event, rather than taking the artwork home with them. Doors open at 1:30 PM, and the show will begin promptly at 2:00 PM.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Art Teacher

Note: Both Wednesday of that week (Eucharist) and Master Peace day will be dress uniform days

Hello St. Luke’s Tiger families!

This holiday season, fourth grade has been working on a big project called Angels Attic. Angels Attic is an online store where you can buy Christmas ornaments. These ornaments are handcrafted by us, the students.

Every fourth grade student has had a specific job like marketing, money manager, quality control, and so much more! Fourth grade is doing this project to help people in need so they can have a nice Christmas.

When you buy from our shop, all profits will be donated to SAMMinistries. SAMMinistries is a shelter for single moms and their children. The shelter helps moms get on their feet. So if you like glitter, Christmas, supporting kids in need, AND supporting fourth grade, then you should buy from Angels Attic!

Hope your Christmas is merry and bright,

Adele Howard

As we wrap up our season of giving at St. Luke’s—though our commitment to service continues year-round—our students took time to thoughtfully reflect on what these experiences meant to them and what they learned along the way. Their insights are heartfelt, inspiring, and a beautiful reminder of the impact service has on both the giver and the community.

Be sure to check out the Chaplain’s Word newsletter to read some of these meaningful student reflections.
