Dear St. Luke Families,

We are delighted to welcome Mr. Sean Gregg, our new Assistant Principal and Grade 5-8 teacher. Mrs. Lynne Shurek in Pre-Kindergarten, Grade ⅔ with Miss Katie Workun and Grade 6 with Miss Andria Diduck. We are delighted to welcome back Mrs. Sarah McCann who will be promoting positive mental health, coping strategies and healthy relationships as a top priority as we work hard at providing a safe and caring school environment for all. This is the first step to improve student learning. Thank youTeam, for creating such a caring and welcoming school
Our theme for this year: "Go Light Our World" is based on Matthew 5:16: "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." With this theme, we will encourage kindness, compassion, and positive actions guided by and through our faith. Together we can strengthen our faith, and continue to foster a wonderful, caring community.
Let's make this year GLOW!
We look forward to an exciting year!
