Welcome back, St. Luke families!

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer filled with time to rest, make memories, and enjoy the people you love. As we begin a brand-new school year, there is a wonderful sense of excitement throughout our school, and I am so grateful to welcome each of you back to our STL family!

A new school year is always a time of new beginnings, new opportunities, and new relationships. Our staff has been working hard to prepare our school and classrooms, and we were excited to welcome our students through the doors. Our prayer for this year is that St. Luke continues to be a place where every child feels known, loved, valued, and supported—a true community where we live

We would love the opportunity to welcome families into the school for our Meet the Staff evening on Wednesday. This is a wonderful chance to meet your child’s teacher, see their classroom, reconnect with familiar faces, and begin building the relationships that make our school community so special.

We hope you will join us, bring your questions and your smiles, and take some time to connect with the incredible people who will be caring for and educating your children this year.

We are also excited to welcome families to the Parent Council Pizza Party that night. Whether you have been involved with Parent Council for years or have never attended a meeting before, you are invited and encouraged to be part of the Parent Council.

Parent Council is an important part of our school community, and we would love to see new faces, hear your ideas, and work together to make this a wonderful year for our students and families. Come enjoy some pizza, meet other parents, and learn more about the ways you can be involved—no commitment required!

As we begin this school year, I am reminded that it truly takes a village to support our children. Thank you for trusting us with your most precious gifts. I look forward to partnering with you throughout the year as we learn, grow, pray, and celebrate together.

May God bless our students, our families, and our staff as we begin this new school year. Welcome back, STL—we are so happy you are here! 💙

Blessings,

Kristie Phelan
Principal, St Luke
