REFER A FAMILY. EARN A $500 TUITION CREDIT
We love it when our St. Luke’s families share their experience with others! If you refer a new family and they enroll at St. Luke’s, your family will receive a $500 tuition credit as our way of saying thank you.
Word of mouth is one of the greatest compliments we can receive. If you know a family who would thrive in our nurturing environment and strong academic programs, encourage them to explore St. Luke’s.
When they enroll and list your family as the referral, you’ll earn a $500 credit toward your tuition.
Thank you for helping our St. Luke’s community grow!

REAL-WORLD LEARNING IN BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES
Our Biomedical Sciences students recently had the opportunity to learn from two outstanding guest speakers, Dr. Gupta and Dr. Hill, who brought real-world experience straight into the classroom.
Dr. Gupta shared his expertise in cardiology, giving students an inside look at the heart and even bringing a cardiac stent for a hands-on learning experience. Dr. Hill visited to discuss the field of dentistry, offering insight into her career path and day-to-day experiences in the profession.
We are incredibly grateful for professionals like Dr. Gupta and Dr. Hill who generously give their time to invest in our students. Experiences like these not only enhance classroom learning but also help prepare our students for college and future careers.

K5 PERFORMS E-I-E-I OOPS
St. Luke's K5 students lit up the stage with their performance of "E-I-E-I OOPS." The audience was taken on a journey to Farmer MacDonald's barnyard, where a cast of singing animals entertained with their antics. The plot thickened when the cow, in a surprising turn of events, lost its moo! But worry not, as the barnyard crew rallied together to find a solution!
A round of applause goes to our talented K5 students for delivering an unforgettable show. Their creativity and enthusiasm were truly a testament to the vibrant spirit of St. Luke's!
Bravo to all involved in making this performance a success!

A WORK OF ART YEARS IN THE MAKING
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Cummings and her incredibly talented art students for bringing new life to the STEM+M Center with a bright, colorful, and joyful mural celebrating the University Campus.
This stunning piece has been several years in the making, thoughtfully painted along the long wall during moments outside of class while students balanced other projects and responsibilities. Their dedication, creativity, and attention to detail truly shine through in every inch of this work.
Photos simply don’t capture the full impact—you have to see it in person! Be sure to stop by the STEM+M Center to experience it for yourself.
Thank you to Mrs. Cummings and her students for making this vision a reality and adding such a vibrant touch to our campus!
