CELEBRATING SAINT LUKE: A DAY OF FAITH & SWEET TRADITIONS
On Wednesday, we honored the Feast of Saint Luke, revered as the patron saint of physicians, surgeons, and artists. As the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, Saint Luke is celebrated for his literary contributions to the New Testament. He journeyed extensively with St. Paul on his missionary travels and holds the distinction of being the first recorded Christian physician and among the earliest converts to Christianity.
To commemorate Saint Luke's Day, the Japonica Campus paraded with banners leading to their weekly chapel service while both campuses enjoyed a sweet treat of cupcakes to mark the occasion.

ST. LUKE'S ROBOTICS TEAM GEARS UP FOR THE "LOW G" COMPETITION BY SENIOR MEGAN MCDONOUGH
St. Luke’s robotics team is at the height of its season and has been working exceptionally hard to prepare for their competition at Troy University! Our robotics program was initially implemented in 2007 but hit a bump in the road due to Covid-19. However, Senior Zane West personally brought our robotics program back to its former glory and continues developing this student-led organization.
Last year, the robotics team competed at the Emerald Coast Competition and placed first in Robot Performance. This year, the team has tripled in size and has been working nonstop to prepare for the “Low G” competition on November 16th. The engineering team has built its long-awaited robot, which is ready to compete! Alongside the engineering team, the marketing team has been busy creating the booth and advertising through t-shirts, business cards, and sponsors.
Robotics inspires students to pursue influential engineering, science, and technology careers. This program's future lies in the support of the St. Luke’s community and our students' passions for STEM+M. We are counting down the days until the competition, and we hope to see you support our team in Troy!

2nD GRADE HAS FUN DOWN ON THE FARM
St. Luke's 2nd graders got to experience what life is like on the farm! Our students had a fantastic time at Middleton Farms, learning about the farm's processes for planting, harvesting, and growing crops to feed the dairy cows. They also witnessed a live cow-milking demonstration and even had the chance to bottle-feed baby calves! The students also enjoyed taking a hayride around the farm. As a bonus, they planted sunflower seeds and made fresh butter!

ST. LUKE'S CENTER STAGE PRESENTS "PATTERNS & POWER:
THE FEMALE EDISON" - OCTOBER 26 & 27th
Join us for our 1st Annual Trumbauer Showcase! Our Center Stage students will be competing at the District Trumbauer Theatre Competition soon, and you have the exciting chance to see their pieces before the competition! Students will perform their individual solos, monologues, and duet scenes, as well as our Fall Play, "Patterns and Power: The Female Edison".
In th-year-e 19th century, the patterns of life were often rigid and unchanging. How di year old girl, with little education and no experience with mechanical engineering, invent a safety part for a power loom? How did she not only get mill management to listen to her idea, but implement it? That’s exactly what Margaret E. Knight did. Based on the true story of this inventor, the play asks the question: how did she break the pattern?
The performances will be on October 26th at 6:00 p.m and October 27th at 3:00 p.m.
Please email hsmith@slesmobile.org with any questions.
