THANK YOU FOR SHOWING WHAT 6-7 MEANS
Because of you, the 6–7 Campaign was an incredible success! Your generosity, enthusiasm, and school spirit showed what 6–7 is all about—innovation, opportunity, and a strong foundation for the future.
We came together as one St. Luke’s community to support our students, teachers, and programs in meaningful ways. Every gift, every share, and every message of encouragement helped make this moment possible.
We still have some checks coming in the mail, and final numbers will be shared later this week, but here are some highlights from where we stand now:
274 donors came together to support St. Luke’s
We surpassed our goal of $67,000!
Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue to build a future filled with promise and possibility. You’ve proven once again that at St. Luke’s, 6–7 means more for our students.

Our Japonica Campus students recently dove into an illuminating lesson on light energy!

Through hands-on experiments and glowing discoveries, students learned how science can light up their world—literally!
