FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE
MOTHER OAK ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
Help close the gap!
If you have not contributed to the Mother Oak Annual Campaign, we need you to help close the gap. Every gift gets us closer to our goal of $100,000! The funds raised will directly benefit every student and every classroom.
Did you know that tuition only covers the operating expenses of the school through April 15th? After that, St. Luke's relies on donations from parents, friends, businesses, and foundations to cover our costs. Often times businesses and foundations will match the funds donated by our parents. So in essence, the amount of your gift could be doubled!! Please make your donation today.
Every gift counts and moves us closer to our goal!

ELLA BENTLEY HEADS TO STATE ON MONDAY!
The tennis season has almost finished with quite a BANG !!
This year at Sectionals, Gavin Leege and Mac Boone made it to the finals, and although they made a valiant effort, they did lose. Ella Bentley and Lauren Watson also made it to the finals, where they won 1st and 2nd courts, respectively. Ella Bentley will represent St. Luke's at State for 1st Court Ladies Singles starting on Monday! All six of our girl's varsity singles courts made it to the quarter-finals.
We had 13 players total this year (with JV we had 26.) Mrs. Lersch has several sixth graders waiting in the wings to come on board next year & always looking for people that want to join the team!
The girls finished with an 8-2 record and our boys 3-4.
Our boys team, all but one player, picked up a racket for the first time last year or this year.
Our girls team, only 3 players out of 9, played before last year. GO WILDCATS !!!

DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKS BEFORE THEY HATCH!
Ms Dugger, (K4) Jace and Brantley's mom, treated the Japonica Science Lab to quite a fantastic learning experience. She brought in an incubator filled with fertilized chick eggs; just like clockwork, on the 21st day, they began to hatch! The students learned so much about the development and care of baby chicks. Thank you so much to Ms. Dugger for this fantastic experience

ST. LUKE'S STUDENTS GET A+ FOR VOLUNTEERING AT SPECIAL OLYMPICS
"Good Morning. I wanted to take off my "mom hat" for a moment and put on my special education teacher hat. I had 10 St. Luke's students volunteer as buddies for my students at the Special Olympics yesterday. I, along with the other adults running it, was so impressed with the love and involvement they showed with my students. These young men and woman went above and beyond. They exceed all expectations. Not only did they keep up with them (which isn't easy), they were their biggest cheerleaders, they made sure they had food/water and they actively participated with and entertained them. My students left feeling great about themselves and wanting to know when they get to see their new best friends again. So many of my parents and other adults bragged about them to me.
They get service hours for this but in the end, I think they gained a whole lot more!
Thank you for your high expectations and all you do for the students at St. Luke’s. You all should be proud!" - Holley Spivey
Students who volunteered: Cooper Frampton, Connor Mosley, Brody Hale, Bryce McLemore, Turner Tillman, Will Spivey, Carter Spivey, Jeremy Menhennet, Keeley Sears and Andrew Thomas.
