Did you know that there is a special group just for St. Luke School on Facebook? The group is called 'St. Luke School Families' and is a way for families to connect by putting a face to a name, learning the ins and outs of our school, asking questions about any school related activities and sharing ideas/thoughts to help our children have a rewarding experience at St. Luke. We hope that all of our families will join this interactive forum.
