Thank you to everyone that contributed to making our teachers feel very appreciated and loved this week!
SPOTLIGHT
CLASS OF 2022 SENIOR HIGHLIGHTS
They are counting down the days until graduation....but we're secretly hoping it goes by slow!
PASSING OF THE TORCH & SENIORS LAST DAY
This week we celebrated "Passing of the Torch." Current SGA President, Mohammed passed the torch to the SGA President for 2022-2023, Alex Scott. Seniors then exited chapel for the last time before Alex addressed the current junior class regarding the 2022-2023 school year.

Seniors then "embellished" their St. Luke's uniforms for their last day on campus! Such a bitter sweet day!
MIDDLE SCHOOL HONORS
Congratulations to all of the students in middle school that were recognized for their academic performance for the 2021-2022 school year. We're proud of your hard work!
MAESTRA RECEIVES THE PATSY HAMILTON SCHOLARSHIP FUND AWARD
Congratulations to Maestra for receiving the Patsy Hamilton Scholarship Fund Award to be used toward professional development. Vandria will be attending the 104 annual American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) happening from the 9th to the 12th of July.
This conference includes over 300 events during 3 ½ days of discussions, workshops, sessions, exhibits, speeches, excursions, and awards that reflect trends, interests, and the needs of language educators of Spanish and Portuguese. 

In terms of teaching and curriculum design, this event gives the teachers the opportunity to learn about the newest trends related to the teaching of a second language and how to update it to the classroom necessities. 
5TH GRADE WAX MUSEUM
The annual 5th Grade Wax Museum was fantastic! It was as if history’s most famous people came to St. Luke’s to recall their stories and accomplishments. Students researched and dressed up as their historic figure, stood frozen until someone “pressed the button” and gave their speech before going back to being frozen again!
4TH GRADE HAS A BLAST LEARNING ABOUT VOLCANOES
Last Friday, 4th grade presented their individual volcano projects in front a large crowd that was very impressed with their effort and presentation!
BIOMED FORENSICS WEEK
Disclaimer: Staged wreck/staged injured people used for the purpose of learning.
Last week our Biomedical Science students participated in a VERY hands on Forensics Week thanks to Glenn Garside (Director of Investigators for Cunningham Bounds, LLC.) The week consisted of learning about evidence, including seat belt marks, steering wheel bruising, grill impressions and vehicle damage as well as toxicology and autopsy evidence. Students also enjoyed very interesting special guests, Sgt Mixon (certified Traffic Crash Reconstructionist and court-accepted expert), Chief Prine and Asst. Jackson.
At the end of the week, Mr. Garside and Sgt. Mixon created 2 vehicular homicide scenes by having 2 wrecked vehicles towed to our campus and using student actors to make the scenes even more realistic. Biomed students had to collect evidence from the scenes and formulate their idea of who the driver of each vehicle was and present their findings to the class.
Many thanks to the many people involved in providing this wonderful opportunity for our students - Mr. Glenn Garside, Cunningham Bounds, LLC, Sgt. Mixon, Chief Prine and Assistant Jackson, Southport Towing, LLC, and Mobile Police Department. Thanks to our student “actors” Lexi Garside, Alex Scott, Benjamin and Bailey Cumpton!
