Leadership Message
Dear St. Luke Families,
As teachers put together Evidence of Learning portfolios for students we can see and celebrate all that students have learned to this point in our school year. We believe that it is important for our students to be connected to school through positive relationships and a strong sense of community where every student can learn and be successful. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing all students with an appropriate and challenging educational experience in a respectful environment that fosters learning and growth.
The most crucial part of students' success in school is attendance. As a parent or guardian it is imperative for students that you assist them in maintaining an attitude that “Every Day Counts.” It is essential that students are attending school ready to learn each and every day. Parents/Guardians play the most important roles in a student's success and I invite you to collaborate with us in your students' education. Your child’s learning success is our priority and when your child attends school they are in a learning environment where they can thrive.
We are looking forward to our Celebration of Learning this week!
Blessings,
Cathy Hinger
Principal

HALLOWEEN FUN!
Here are some details about the Halloween festivities happening Monday, October 31st.
Students can come dressed in their costumes on Monday
As in the past, no weapons or masks, please.
We will be busy learning, with classes as usual, in the morning.
Our afternoon will consist of activity stations run by our Grade 7 & 8 students, starting with a costume parade with all elementary students.
We respectfully request that you do not send any Halloween candies or extra snacks for Monday afternoon, as students will have just eaten the nutritious lunch you packed for them, and will be busy in the activity stations.
Further, we request that you not send candy in lunches after Halloween as we continue to enforce healthy eating habits during our school day.
We will be having a candy exchange on Tuesday and Wednesday. See the poster below for more information. There are some cool prizes!
