Saint Luke School

Our LAST DAY!! This morning, we spent some time together celebrating both students and teachers. We recognized those students in grades K-7th that were classroom aides, members of Student Council and altar servers. We had students who got Young Writer awards for their creative writing, students who showed growth in their NWEA Map testing and first and second honors for the fourth quarter.
We also awarded students the Arms of Christ award, the Hi-Hello award and the St. Luke Crusader award.
We also acknowledged a few of our teachers with awards voted on by their coworkers such as the Rising Star award, the Dependability award, the Above & Beyond award and so many others!
We presented Mrs. Wishnok with the Teacher of the Year award!!
Congratulations to everyone, students and staff for all they have accomplished this 25-26 school year!! We are so proud of everyone!!
Have a great summer everyone!!💚💛💚💛💚💛 See less

Our very last Fresh Beats Friday for the 25-26 school year!!!! So much fun to be dancing with the students!!
Thanks to all the parents who danced while walking students up and while sitting in their car during drop off!! 💚💛💚💛

Camp Notre Dame was where our 6th and 7th graders spent yesterday for one last day of bunding, fun and memories!! Their day started with praying the Devine Mercy Chaplet as a group and taking a few minutes to reflect on their year.
Archery, fishing, canoeing and even a few games of swampball was on their schedule for the remainder of the day! What a great way to end their school year!! 🫶🐟🍁🪺🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️🎯🫶

Our Second grade had their final field trip of the year at Presque Isle State Park! They actually started their prep for this field trip a few months ago when the Park Rangers stopped by their classroom for a visit. They had fun both in their classroom and on the beach with animal bones, foliage and lots and lots of sand!! 🦆🦅🦉🐢🍁🌿🏖️

Day #7 of First grade's "Countdown to Summer" had them soaking wet with a water play morning!! 🤣🤣💦💦💦💧💧🤣🤣

Graduation (post #4) had our 8th graders making that final checkmark on their list!! What do we say about this Class of 2026? There are so many things that come to mind such as your laughter in the halls, your always striving to be the best in any and everything, your smiles and your silly jokes. Never being afraid to try something new or to start a new SLS tradition, always looking out for and helping our younger students and sharing your talents with not only your friends but all the students and staff.
We will miss your smiling faces, your always asking "what can we do to help" and your pride you have shown in being a Crusader!
Remember Mrs. Kolash's last words of wisdom to you tonight...when accepting a dare or issuing a challenge do not be afraid to win (even if it is against your school principal and it involves a fire truck with lots of water 😂😂😂)!!
SLS Class of 2026, go make your mark in the world and remember "Once a Crusader, Always a Crusader" 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛

Awards and scholarships were handed out tonight during graduation (post #3)! Academic Excellence and Academic Effort, Fourth Quarter First and Second Honors and special awards from PA State Rep. Bob Merski for high honors all four quarters and for perfect attendance were earned by some.
Awards that recognized exemplary Christian spirit and values demonstrated within our school and community were handed out as well (the Msgr. Robert Goodill, McAuley, St. Luke, St. Luke Service, Spirit of St. Luke, the American Legion and the Fr. Michael J. McGivney.) Both Cathedral Preparatory School and Mercyhurst Preparatory School acknowledged our students with scholarships and academic awards.
Scholarships from the David B. Perry family, the Timothy J. Fitzpatrick family, the Joseph Gausman family, the Anna Markiewicz family and the SLS faculty were presented to students also.
We ended this great night with a piano solo from one of our graduates Ian Baker! 💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛

Graduation Night (post #2) for the Class of 2026!! We started with a prayer, some parting words of wisdom for Mrs. Kolash and Ms. Deutsch and a tribute to their parents.
Ms. Madelyn Hilling, a SLS grad Class of 2017 and our current third grade teacher gave a great address to the students and their families. Thank you, Ms. Hilling, for sharing your own memories as an SLS student and reminding our Crusaders to not the let world change who you are and who God created you to be. 💚💛

The last time they will be together as a whole group getting ready for tonight's graduation (post #1)! 💚💛😀😥💚💛
