FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE

The Mother Oak Annual Campaign is in full swing! If you have already given, THANK YOU! You are part of the 22% of our families doing your part to help us bridge the gap between what your tuition covers and the actual cost of educating each student. St. Luke's, like all independent schools, conducts an annual campaign. All donations, regardless of the size count towards our participation percentage. Participation is KEY to receiving grants from foundations. In case you didn't know, grants are FREE money for our school. St. Luke's regularly competes with local, state, and national foundations for these grant funds. The higher our parent participation, the more likely we will receive the funds we request. 

If you have not yet given, please do so now. EVERY gift matters. EVERY student benefits.

Congratulations to Andrew Burchett, who won the 800M AND 400M at the 1A-3A State Indoor Track Competition. His 800M time was a STATE record of 1:56:40! WAY TO GO, ANDREW!!!

WHAT'S ON YOUR LIBRARY MENU?

3rd grade enjoyed “tasting” new library books! They took time to create a “menu” of the books that highlighted characteristics they liked about the book. They are looking forward to checking out new books now that they have all had a chance to preview them!

NATIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELOR'S WEEK

In honor of National School Counselor's Week, we want to celebrate the BEST!

Ms. Sami Nesbitt is the guidance counselor on the Japonica Campus! She helps our students develop the academic and social skills they need to succeed. In addition to teaching leadership classes to our 4th and 5th graders, she helps address social concerns and behavioral issues. She works with students and teachers to counsel individuals and small groups. Her kind and thoughtful approach to her work is a blessing to everyone on the Japonica campus!

Ms. Amanda Freyaldenhoven is the Director of Guidance on the University Campus. She helps our students navigate the complexities of school - from academics to social issues, provides support and guidance on education and career planning, and assists them in making decisions about their future. Ms. Frey provides emotional support and resources to students as they transition from middle school to high school and high school to college. She has a strong knowledge of college and career opportunities and helps students with the tedious process of applying to college. She also finds time to teach a leadership course and is always available for students and parents to discuss college, career plans, goal setting, and stress management... you name it!

St. Luke's is blessed to have two amazing people to guide our students!
