From Mrs. Cover...
As we continue to pray for Fr. Jim Barlow and his family – we are reminded that while he was with us he had so much positive influence in our lives and he always Thanked everyone for everything that they did – let us emulate his kindness and giving ways each and every day.
Next week we celebrate “Catholic Schools Week” – what a pleasure to have such a wonderful occasion to commemo-rate the great job our students, teachers and staff do each and every day with parents at the lead. Let us be remind-ed of the reasons we chose Catholic Schools: ● Welcoming faith filled atmosphere-the bridging of the school and the parish. ● Religious Rigor ● Love of the nurturing staff and challenging curriculum ● Service oriented ● Great communication-both teachers, staff, school via various means ● Great parental involvement ● Use of the technology tools at St. Luke Catholic School. “This school is very up to date on different technology tools as well as online assessments and different programs to reach all students.” “Thank you for keeping the school buildings secure and safe.”
“Many opportunities to build, character, faith, moral and ethical standards, religious practices, and participation in catholic charity.”
We look forward to seeing you next week.
“St Luke Open House” is Thursday, January 31st from 8:30-am to 10:30 am.
