St. Luke's Student at Yale
Anna Marie Bentley received an invitation from the women's head tennis coach at Yale University to participate in the College Exposure Tennis Camp held at Yale University this summer. Approximately 14 tennis coaches from various colleges led the camp for rising 8th graders through 12th graders from across the country. The campers participated in singles and doubles college-style drills, and focused on doubles strategies. The coaches also educated the campers on the college recruiting process. Anna Marie learned some new doubles techniques and strategies that she is excited to share with St. Luke's tennis coach, Michael O'Brien.
GO Wildcat! We are going to see great things from this young lady!

6th Grade Trip- Tremont, Tennessee
6th graders went to Tremont, Tennessee in the heart of The Great Smokey Mountains, for the ultimate outdoor experience. This trip culminated their area of study in Life Science. Being able to experience science hands-on is one of the many ways St. Luke's teachers go above and beyond for our students. In return, the students learn life lessons and build friendships.
Tremont...let Nature inspire you!
