Robert and I are blessed to be part of the SLES community. Our St. Luke's journey began when William was 3 years old. In fact, all three of our children started school at St. Luke's in PK3. William is now in 7th grade, Eleanor is in 5th grade and our youngest, Howie, is starting his adventure in Kindergarten. From the very first day, our children have been excited to learn, eager to come to school, and surrounded by teachers who genuinely know and love them. St. Luke's has become so much more than a school, it has become our second home and an unwavering, supportive community.
We whole heartedly support the St. Luke's Fund because we know William, Eleanor, Howie, and all of your children are developing skills that will serve them for a lifetime.We invite you to join us in this effort!

Week 5: Chores Are More Than Chores
This semester, Rachel Sanborn’s Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Snapshot will feature weekly, parent-friendly takeaways from Jessica Lahey’s book The Gift of Failure. Mrs. Sanborn, along with Student Achievement Coordinator, Donna Finch will wrap up the series with a book talk at the December 1st Parent Council Coffee.
Laundry, dishes, making lunches, feeding pets, and cleaning up may seem like everyday tasks, but Lahey sees them as opportunities to build responsibility, competence, and belonging. When children contribute to the family, they learn that they are capable and that their actions matter. The goal isn't perfection—it's participation and independence. This week, consider one responsibility you can hand over to your child, even if they don't do it exactly the way you would.
