tion Royal Court event– all 43 students were recognized and the
Prince and Princesses of each grade level were crowned by our

volunteers, parent and community support – we appreciate all that
you do to help in all endeavors!
Fiesta San Antonio, previously called Fiesta San Jacinto, is a ten-
day festival held every spring in San Antonio. It originated in the
1891 flower parade conceived by Ellen Maury Slayden, wife of
Congressman James L. Slayden, as an April 21 salute to the
heroes of the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto. A group of
San Antonio women formed the Battle of Flowers Association.
That historic commemoration still takes place, but for more than a
century, Fiesta has grown into a celebration of San Antonio's rich
and diverse cultures.
We hope you have a wonderful Fiesta with your family and friends
–and are able to enjoy the Battle of Flowers Parade, NIOSA, King
It was a great day to celebrate Fiesta at St. Luke! The day began with Mass led by our Kindergarten classes. Following Mass,
the student body lined the hallways to see the amazing creations in the Pre-Kinder and Kinder Fiesta Float Parade. Festivities continued in the afternoon with a performance by St. Anthony Catholic High School’s Mariachi group with St. Luke Alum Sebas-tian Caballero on the violin and a visit from St. Luke alum and current Miss San Antonio, Ms. Rebecca Mendoza. Ms. Mendoza helped with the introduction of St. Luke’s Royal Fiesta Court. Many thanks to all students who participated in the Royal Fiesta
