St. Luke's Lutheran School

It's Wildcat Welcome Wednesday! Today, we welcome the Ameglio, Loundenslagler, McPherson, and Valenti families this week.

Join us every Wednesday during the summer as we introduce some of our newest Wildcats to the St. Luke's community! We're thrilled to share their smiles. Let's give a warm welcome to our wonderful new families!

We welcome the Clair, Lemaster, Manglardi, and Young and families this week.

The End of Year Chapel was filled with celebration and gratitude as we recognized students for their achievements throughout the school year.

We are proud to honor our Discipleship Award winners, Technology Students of the Year, Wildcat Reader Award winners, Accelerated Reader (AR) Award recipients, and American Legion Award winners. Thank you for your hard work, leadership, and dedication throughout the year. Go Wildcats!

Today we celebrated the last day of school at St. Luke’s! Our halls were filled with excitement, laughter, and gratitude as students wrapped up an amazing year together.

Thank you to our students, families, and staff for making this school year so special. We pray your summer is filled with rest, joy, and special memories of time spent together.

This week’s Staff Feature is Ms. Sarah Wilbanks, Assistant Director for Preschool through Kindergarten, who is finishing her 18th year at St. Luke’s. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English from Ole Miss and a Master’s degree in Special Education from Florida State University. A Florida native, Sarah was born and raised in Orlando, which makes her deep roots in the community especially meaningful as she continues to serve families at St. Luke’s.

Outside of school, Sarah enjoys staying active with workouts at Orange Theory, spending quality time with her two sons, Joshua and Tanner, and relaxing by the pool with a good book or simply enjoying the outdoors. Her family also includes two beloved Goldendoodles, Jax and Daisy. At St. Luke’s, one of her favorite traditions is Grandparents' Day, where she loves seeing the joy of multi-generational connections on campus. Her favorite Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11, reflects the faith that guides her both personally and professionally.

Sarah shares that her time at St. Luke’s has had a profound impact on her life and faith journey. Having previously worked in the public school system, she deeply values the strong sense of Christian community found here. She describes St. Luke’s as more than a workplace, a family grounded in faith where love for God and one another is evident each day. St. Luke’s is grateful for Ms. Wilbanks and the many ways she pours into the lives of students, families, and colleagues each day.

Today we celebrated “RJ Day” in honor of Rod Jackson and his 10 years of faithful ministry service at St. Luke’s Lutheran School! 💙🧡

Mr. Jackson has impacted countless students, families, and staff members through his leadership, dedication, encouragement, and Christ-centered servant heart. We are so thankful for the joy, wisdom, and passion he brings to our St. Luke’s family each and every day.

Thank you, Mr. Jackson, for a decade of faithful service, meaningful relationships, and unwavering commitment to our mission. Your influence has left a lasting mark on our school community, and we are blessed to celebrate you today!
