Leadership Message
Creativity in Nature
Who knew? Who knew you could make bracelets with fresh green grass!
There is so much that nature inspires in us! So many way to creatively play, build fine and gross motor skills and it's just so good for the mind, body and spirit to connect with nature!
Oilers Pride @ STL
No matter what grade we're in, there's an amazing Oilers vibe at St. Luke Catholic School! We were all ready to cheer on our team and it worked! Congratulations to our Edmonton Oilers for heading to the Stanley Cup Finals! Go Oilers Go!
The Day "Flew" By!
Friday was a special and full day for our Grade 5-8 students and many fantastic parents and grandparents at the Cooking Lake Airport with the Alberta College of Aeronautics! Students had the opportunity to get into the cockpit, get ready for a flight and talk to the tower. They looked at flight maps to locate airports and helipads, tried to fly their own airplane designs, learned about the phonetic alphabet and tried their hand at landing a plane in the simulator! We watched many planes land and take off at it was an active day at the Cooking Lake Airport. A huge thank you to Shane, James, Morgan, Afra, Trinity, Christina, Richard for making the day possible! Check out the learners and learning section this week and next week for more pictures!
Looking forward to all the more ways our St. Luke Partnership with ACA can "take off!"
Thank you Grade 1&2 and 5&6!
Thank you for choosing St. Luke Catholic School and Catholic Education!
With abundant gratitude,
Mme Gravelle
Principal

The smiles, laughter, and gratitude shared throughout the event were a true reflection of the strong and supportive environment we’ve built together.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration so special. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers—and we are so grateful for each and every one of you!
