Growing Together @ STL

Our Grade 4s really brought the mojo today to cheer on the Oilers! Way to go! Several staff and students were into the Oiler school spirit! St. Luke, let's cheer loud and proud! Go! Oilers Go!

Pope Francis was knowns for many things and he was a beautiful spiritual and servant leader for our Catholic church. His visit to Canada was very meaningful in our moving forward in Truth and Reconciliation, and his modelling of how we love those less fortunate was unwavering. Thank you for praying for him and his welcoming into heaven as a faithful servant of Christ.

On Federal Election Day, May 28th St. Luke has the pleasure of being a voting station!

Thank you in advance for your patience as voting will be occurring between 7:30am and 7:30pm which means parking will be a little more congested. Staff are asked to park in the gravel parking lot to make access to the school easier for our voters.

Thank you for carrying the St. Luke banner high and joyfully welcoming our community members!

Thank you for spreading the word that registration for next year is still open!

If you know of a family thinking about joining the St. Luke Catholic School community, please invite them to connect with Mme Gravelle via email or at 780-922-5920. School tours continue to be booked, and new families welcomed. Thank you for spreading the word!

Thank you for spreading the word about our nature programming as well as the launch of some exciting community partnerships to provide our students with exciting learning opportunities!

Thank you for choosing St. Luke Catholic School and Catholic Education!

With abundant gratitude,

Mme Gravelle

• The REAL Foundation donates approximately $30,000 a year to support Religious Education Activities within EICS, such as funding a portion of the bibles for every Grade 4 student, funds for opening day guest speakers, and funds for student religious retreats such as Face to Face Ministry. Their annual golf tournament is their only source of fundraising to support these activities in EICS. They are seeking sponsors, golfers, and donations in order to maintain the level of funding that they have provided us over the past few years. Your support in promoting the golf tournament, sponsorship, and raffle is greatly appreciated.

• The REAL Foundation is looking for any school/division swag that they could use for door prizes at the golf tournament. If you have any items that you would be willing to donate, or that have been sitting in your storage rooms that you would like to get rid of, please send them to CLS, attention Lisa. The REAL Foundation is extremely appreciative of your support.

One our precious students came to the office and read to our little quails!

STL students are getting more creative! Students started a game of Mantracker, a bow/backpack/purse was made, along with a coat hanger and a climbing wall! Kids are so creative when they get free play in nature!

Thank you to our students for learning to love big on Mother earth and spending time today cleaning up the garbage in our field and on our school grounds!
