SENIOR PRIVILEGE CEREMONY - CLASS OF 2024

Thursday marked a memorable day for the Class of 2024 as they celebrated their Senior Privilege Ceremony. During the event, they wore their class t-shirts and received their St. Luke’s keychains, but what truly made the occasion special was the granting of their "Senior Privileges." The students were undoubtedly excited by the newfound freedoms bestowed upon them. Mayor Stimpson also graced the ceremony with his presence and delivered a remarkable speech emphasizing the importance of responsibility that comes with privilege. We finished the morning with a reception for students and their parents. Enjoy this time, seniors!

ST. LUKE'S YOUNG SCIENTISTS EXPLORE LIGHT & SOUND IN EXCITING PROJECT LEAD THE WAY LESSON

St. Luke's 1st and 2nd-grade students work on an exciting new Project Lead the Way lesson during STEMM class: light and sound! The students had the opportunity to observe and explore light and sound in various settings inside and outside the classroom!

MRS. THOMPSON TEACHES THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER HAND HYGIENE

Maintaining proper hand hygiene in schools is crucial to promoting the health and well-being of both students and teachers. In Mrs. Thompson's K4 class, she emphasizes the importance of washing hands with soap and water for a duration of at least 20 seconds. By following this simple yet effective practice, students and teachers can reduce their risk of spreading germs, ultimately creating a safer and healthier learning environment for all.

LOWER CAMPUS CHEER CLINIC SUCCESS

Shoutout to our amazing upper campus cheerleaders who brought their energy and skills to the lower campus cheer clinic! Their enthusiasm and expertise energized the entire week and created contagious excitement. It was truly heartwarming to see the littlest cheerleaders join forces with the University Campus cheerleaders at the home game on Friday night to help them cheer the Wildcats to another well deserved victory! The tremendous Wildcat spirit on display was a sight to see!

WILDCAT BAND CELEBRATES JIMMY BUFFETT'S LIFE

The Wildcat Band expressed their love for Jimmy Buffett's life and music by participating in a second-line parade.

NATIONAL CONCUSSION AWARENESS DAY

It's that time of the year when we must spread awareness about identifying and treating concussions with care. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that temporarily affects the brain's function. Regardless of the severity of the concussion, it's crucial to seek an immediate and thorough evaluation by a qualified medical professional to rule out any life-threatening head injuries. The symptoms of a concussion can last for up to two weeks and may include mood changes and emotional displays.

If you're interested in learning more about concussions and how to manage them, you can check out what St. Luke's athletic trainer, Mr. David Bentley had to say in the link below.
