The Glance

We’re excited to launch this year’s St. Luke’s Fund campaign! Watch the message below to hear more about why this effort matters so much to our community.

At St. Luke’s, every student benefits from the generosity of those who give. The St. Luke’s Fund plays a vital role in providing the extra resources that elevate our programs, support our faculty, and ensure a safe, dynamic learning environment on the Hilltop.

Tuition only covers part of what it takes to offer a truly exceptional education. That’s why your support is so important. With a goal of 100% participation from our families, faculty, staff, and Trustees, we’re aiming high—because we know how impactful this community can be.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference—and sends a powerful message of belief in our mission. Plus, it’s fully tax-deductible!

Ready to make a pledge or donation? Let’s make this year our strongest yet. 💙

Dear St. Luke's Families,

This year marks the 78th year that St. Luke's has been offering the finest educational experience in San Antonio. We are honored to serve as the St. Luke's Fund chairs for the 2025-2026 academic year and are excited to share more about how your gift will impact the students, faculty and staff at this special school.

Mike and I are blessed to be part of the SLES community. We began our St. Luke's journey four years ago, when Adele started Kindergarten. Now a 4th grader, Adele loves SLES. In this fast-paced ever-changing world, St. Luke's is Adele's home away from home.

At St. Luke's, Adele is surrounded by caring and supportive teachers. She loves learning. Adele is kind and confident and lives the "St. Luke' Way" each day. It is such a joy to see her grow intellectually, spiritually and emotionally. She is receiving an incredible foundation that will lead to a bright future.

We will share details about our upcoming Fall Family Fling, and we'll hear from Catherine Perkins, 4th Grade Teacher and Innovation Team Coordinator, about how the new St. Luke's Innovation Team is shaping learning across all grades and positioning St. Luke's at the forefront of 21st-century education!

October dates are now live! Come have lunch on Thursday, October 2nd, Tuesday, October 21st, or Thursday, October 30th. More dates will be available each month, so stay tuned!

In order to join students for lunch, grandparents and special friends must sign up below. Please note that there are a limited number of sign-ups per grade. We kindly ask that you only sign up once so all grandparents and special friends have a chance to join students during the year. Due to food allergies, we do not allow outside food or beverages.

"Thank you so much for "hosting" us with Beckett and Hayden. And so glad you took photos. It was a great thrill to be with them in their environment :) You have an amazing school and we are so blessed that they can be a part of it. We hope to be able to join them again next year!" - Sheila Klein

From anchors to weather reports and sports, lunch menus, editing, graphics, and more, every student played a vital role in bringing TigerTV to life!

Episcopal Schools Week is a time each year when Episcopal Schools and Parishes all across the country (and the world) take time to celebrate each other and the special community built between an Episcopal Church and School. This is something we know a lot about on the Hilltop.

This Episcopal Schools Week we would like to extend the greatest gift we could think of to our wonderful School parents: a night off.

Courtesy of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, you may drop off your children, ages 0 to 5th grade, on Wednesday, October 8th at 6 p.m., whether they are St. Luke's students or not. The professional nursery staff will be available for the little ones. A fun activity (making friendship bracelets) and watching a Pixar movie will be provided by the Church's (amazing) Children's ministry.

There IS a limit on how many spots we can provide, so please RSVP below! We will continue to take reservations all spots are filled. Thank you all so much, we hope you enjoy, and may God bless you abundantly!

Details:

Wednesday, October 8th: Drop off beginning at 6 PM, pick up between 8:15 - 8:30 PM
