St. Luke Weekly News
Welcome Back - September 1, 2023
Leadership Message
Dear St. Luke Families,
Our first few days of our new school year were filled with excitement. Students were happy to see their friends, meet their teachers and take a look at their new learning spaces. Students are settling well into their new routine and I know it’s going to be a fantastic year!
On Tuesday we will hold our first Praise and Worship of the year. We will begin a little later at 8:30 in order to allow some time for all our students to get settled into their classrooms. If you are available we would love for you to join our celebration at 8:30 in the gym. We will be celebrating our new school theme in which God calls on all of us to ‘Go LIght Our World.’
Have a safe, wonderful long weekend!
Let's make this year GLOW!

HOT LUNCH IS BACK!
What is Hot Lunch?
The hot lunch program is coordinated by your St. Luke Parent Council and parent volunteers as a fun option for lunch but also serves as a fundraiser for our St. Luke students. It is an optional program for parents who wish to order in a "hot" meal every Thursday. You pre-order lunches prior to the start of each session and then each Thursday your child's lunch will be delivered to their classroom. There will be 4 sessions offered throughout the school year, with the first session running from September 14th to October 26th.
How do I order Hot Lunch?
ALL parents will need to create a new login as it will not carry over from last year. You are welcome to use the same login/password as last year.
To create a hot lunch account:
- Go to stluke.hotlunches.net
- Click on "Click Here to Register"
- Enter Access Code stluke
- Complete the rest of the registration form. (Including your email address will ensure you receive reminder emails about hot lunch order deadlines, and your child's hot lunch order for the upcoming week)
- Click the "Register Now" button at the bottom
- Follow the instructions to add each child in your family who attends St. Luke. Once your child(ren) are registered, click on "Orders"
- Proceed to order hot lunch for your child(ren)
You must pay with a credit card via Bambora.
The hot lunch online order system requires a small amount of setup time at the beginning as you must register each child you have attending our school prior to ordering hot lunch EACH YEAR. Once the initial setup process is complete, your hot lunch orders for the remainder of the year should be quick and simple.
What if my child is away or sick on a hot lunch day?
If you know your child will miss one of the pre-ordered lunches, please contact Shelby at hotlunchstluke@gmail.com. If there is enough notice, we may be able to cancel and refund your order.
If your child is sick or there is not enough notice to cancel, you can let the team know via hotlunchstluke@gmail.com or via FB messenger if you'd like to have the hot lunch sent home with a sibling, or given to another student at school.
If you have any questions or require support setting up your account or ordering, please do not hesitate to contact Shelby Mistecki at hotlunchstluke@gmail.com.
