One of St. Luke’s most beloved traditions is almost here! Join us on Friday, November 21 from 9 to 11 a.m., for Trade Fair — a celebration of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit led by our middle school students 💡
Each year, Trade Fair transforms the gym into a bustling marketplace where students become inventors, creators, and business leaders. From handmade goods to clever services and innovative products, our young entrepreneurs design every detail—from concept and branding to marketing and sales. It’s a true showcase of imagination, hard work, and collaboration.
This year, we’re especially excited to welcome alumni, current families, grandparents, and friends to a special reception prior to the event, where guests can learn about the history of Trade Fair and see how this treasured St. Luke’s tradition continues to inspire our students today. The reception will begin at 8:30 a.m. in Parish Hall before we all head into the McNab Gymnasium for Trade Fair!
Get ready to share in the excitement, connect with our community, and watch our students’ big ideas come to life on the Hilltop!
If you plan to attend the reception, please RSVP to let us know you’ll be there.
Note: On Trade Fair Day, there is in early release. All students must be picked up at 11:30 a.m.
St. Luke's is excited to give back to our military community in a sweet way! Starting Tuesday, our 4th grade Tigers will be collecting excess Halloween candy during morning carpool. Any candy collected from our community between Tuesday, November 11th and Friday, November 14th will be sent to active military members through Soldiers' Angels Treats for Troops.
Soldiers' Angels is a San Antonio-based nonprofit with a mission to provide aid, comfort, and resources to the military, veterans and their families.
Join us for a fun afternoon of Mahjong, connection, and giving back! Enjoy a prix fixe lunch where a portion of the proceeds benefits St. Luke’s. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to the game, all are welcome to play and mingle.
Date: Friday, Nov. 14 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Location: The Hayden
RSVP required – limited to 24 players
This event is part of our new monthly initiative to bring St. Luke’s families together in fun and meaningful ways. Stay tuned for more community events each month!
St. Luke's Episcopal School is proud to Host The Worry-Free Parent with David Thomas & Sissy Goff for a free event that is open to the public. Invite your friends, relatives, and neighbors to join us!
In this seminar, you’ll gain:
- understanding the what’s and why’s in terms of the differences between anxiety and worry, and where your child is on the continuum
- help practically with tools to overcome the worry that he or she will inevitably face
- hope as your child discovers a sense of confidence that is stronger than any worry this age of anxiety can bring
Children need understanding, help, and hope. You can make a profound difference in their journey to finding all three. You will come out of this seminar feeling not only more confident in your parenting, but in your ability to help them discover all of the courage that is already inside of them.
If you were unable to attend the Parent Council coffee, you can still sign up for the online session of “The Story Behind the Scores: Understanding the Whole Child.” This free, online session will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 18th from 12 - 1 p.m.
Hear from Donna Finch and Iris Escandon as they share how St. Luke’s thoughtfully uses grades, narrative comments, and assessments to understand and support the whole child. 💙❤️
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
In the spirit of serving others and in gratitude for our many blessings, St. Luke’s Church & School is collecting food items for families supported by Good Samaritan Community Services. Good Sam serves as a catalyst for change, supporting youth and families on the west side of San Antonio by providing services to overcome poverty.
Please notice what your grade level is asked to donate. If you would like to donate monetarily you may send a check (made out to St. Luke’s School) or cash in an envelope labeled “Good Sam” with your child. You may also drop it off at the front desk.
