FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE

PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE

Each year St. Luke's, like all other independent schools, relies on annual campaigns to close the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. This year we increased our parent participation to 59%!! That exceeds last year by 8%, and we are not at the end of our fiscal year yet, so that number should go up! Thank you to every family that has given.

Foundations are taking notice and this percentage is already helping us with our grant application process, so THANK YOU to all who donated to the Mother Oak Annual Campaign. However, there is still a $17,000 gap between what has been given/committed and our goal for this year of $100,000. 

If you have not given yet, will you? 

If you have already given, would you consider an additional donation to offset what other families cannot do at this time? 

We know times are tough for some. So if you are in a position to dig a little deeper, please consider doing so and helping us reach our goal before school is out.

SPANISH II COOKS USING SECOND LANGUAGE SKILLS

Spanish II students created their own cookbook based on their family's best-kept recipes. Using our new state-of-the-art Culinary Medicine classroom, each group of students presented their ingredients, utensils, and appliances using their developing second language skills. Step by step, they learned about the recipes and some amazing cooking hacks/tips! The recipes included spaghetti with cheese, non-baked cookies, waffles, churros, fried rice with chicken and vanilla ice cream. 

MS. CHANDLER'S AFTERNOON ENRICHMENT FUN

Recently, Ms. Chandler's afternoon enrichment class read The Perfect Fit and discussed that differences make us special and also made their own triangle buddies!

BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES CAPSTONE PRESENTATION SUCCESS!

The Biomed Interventions students spent countless hours preparing for their Capstone Presentations & each one was fantastic! The students had to choose one field of interest to research and immerse themselves in for the entire year. They conducted extensive research and wrote a 25-page APA paper while shadowing a mentor who allowed them to participate in patient care under their supervision. This class culminates with a Capstone Presentation to an audience of approximately 250 – 300 consisting of their peers, parents, faculty, mentors and other health professionals. What a tremendous experience for high school students!

MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL GIVES BACK
