Dear St. Luke Families,

We had a full and wonderful week. This week we had a chance to gather as a school and participate in our monthly "Here Comes The Sun" assembly where we focused on balanced health using the PEPY model. We then broke into our "houses" and spent some time brainstorming and contemplating each of God's special gifts. Additionally, we learned about some Métis teachings, see the pictures below. Students raised money and awareness for the Movember campaign on Thursday while wearing their mustaches. We are busy planning our next social justice projects which will take place during the Advent season.

This week, we sent out an email on behalf of our Central Leaving Services on our upcoming Catholic School Review. I encourage you all to take some time to complete the survey as your responses help guide the direction of St. Luke.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Seeking a parent volunteer or team of volunteers who may be interested in spear-heading the Yearbook this year. This person(s) will be resonsible for the creation and ordering of the yearbooks in cooperation with the school, students and parent council. Without a dedicated volunteer or team of volunteers to create the yearbook, the school will not be able to sell to families this year. We can't do it with out YOU!

If you are able to donate your time to create this year's yearbook, please reach out to the school administration team in the office. - THANK-YOU!

Learning from the Land - This month, we learn that the traditional peoples of this area refer to the month of November as Iyikopiwipîsim - Pronounced, "ee-oh-gee_pee-wee_pee-sim" which translates to the FROST MOON. It is often symbolized with the beautiful hoar-frost we often see this time of year.

Watch the video below which discusses learning with the land as seasons change.

Great job to our Girls Volleyball team who played a great season with much heart.

St. Luke School Council and Parent Association, along with St. Luke Catholic School, is thrilled to once again be a participating venue in Strathcona County's annual Christmas in the Country event! This event enables our school council to provide student enrichment and volunteer opportunities within our school community.

Christmas in the Country is only two weeks away! We are very excited to once again be hosting this annual community event.

Come out and join us on Saturday, December 2nd from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Our St. Luke Worship Team will be performing Christmas songs at 11:00am and the day also includes more than 40 tables to peruse for those hard to buy for friends and family members, a craft corner to keep the kiddos busy while you shop and a concession featuring coffee, hot chocolate, hot dogs and other snacking items.

As always, entry is free. There will be a box available for Food Bank donations and the tree will be ready to receive mittens for our annual mitten tree. Donations will be dropped off to those in need.

These community events don't happen without help from you. We are still in need of several volunteers for the day. Please click the Survey Genius link below to lend your time in support of our students. https://www.signupgenius.com/.../10C0D45A5A723A7F5C61...

Thank you to those that donated to the Movember cause and thank you to the many students and staff who wore mustaches to school on Thursday this week in support of and awareness to Men's health issues!

No new information to share this week

It's beginning to look like winter, maybe not outside, but in the library it is!!

As the temperature drops, it's a great time to curl up with a good book! This week grade 3's got to choose a graphic novel, and were very excited ! Remember not every book is going to interest you, sometimes it takes a while to find the right genre. Luckily we have a great selection in our library!!

Have a great weekend!
