- Center Stage Success: Our Center Stage students are advancing to the state competition next month, taking their regional award-winning play to the next level.
- Robotics Achievement: Our Robotics Team earned 1st place in Performance, received the Trojan Award for character and sportsmanship, and secured a spot at the state competition!

Our students continue to represent St. Luke’s with excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts—
and we couldn’t be more proud!

PENNIES FOR PATRIOTS (LAST DAY NOVEMBER 21)
During the month of November, we take time to honor and remember the brave men and women who have served our country. In that spirit, our school will be participating in a special project called Pennies for Patriots. This is a simple but meaningful way for our students to show their
appreciation for our veterans.
From November 10–21, 2025, students are invited to bring in small change —pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters — to place in the Pennies for Patriots jars in their classrooms. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a heartfelt way to say “thank you” to those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
At the end of the campaign, the funds collected will be donated to support local veterans’ organizations. This project helps our students learn the importance of gratitude, generosity, and community service.
Thank you for helping us make a difference as we honor our heroes this Veterans Month!
