🏃🏽 Terry Fox Walk 🏃🏽 September 25 at 1:00 pm This year, our Brooks campus will do a Terry Fox walk for a special reason. In June, one of our 2025 graduates, Jacob Majcan, was diagnosed with cancer. Jacob is currently receiving treatments and is doing well, but he needs our prayers and strong community support. In his honor, we will be raising money for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation. Though we are a small school, we are committed to doing what we can to support Jacob and all those who are affected by cancer. We invite our students, families, and community to join us in this important cause on Thursday, September 25 at 1:00 pm. Together, we can make a difference. You can donate to the Terry Fox Walk, through our school fundraiser at this link. https://schools.terryfox.ca/113847 #liveatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #supportingjacob #terryfoxrun

Shrove Tuesday comes from the word “shrive”, meaning “absolution following confession”. Christians everywhere traditionally visit their church on Shrove Tuesday to confess their sins and cleanse their soul before Ash Wednesday. As we enter into this Lenten season, we took time in religion class to focus on prayer, fasting and giving alms. Today, we discussed lent and the 40 days of preparation while we enjoyed the tradition of a feast of Shrove Tuesday pancakes! #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes #shrovetuesday #pancakes

St. Luke’s Outreach Center is proud to award this year’s Christian Witness Award to the much deserving, Jodi Parks. 🫶🏻🙌🏻✨ Jodi is an exemplary teacher, and she holds each student to a high standard because she believes in the immense potential in each of them.

She prays with her students every day. She takes students to church with her often. She led a small Bible study group with only three students. Jodi is always willing to share her faith. 🙏🏼 It is not only our students that benefit from Jodi’s unwavering faith.

Our students have been embracing the spirit of advent. The pinnacle was when a group of students volunteered to lead music at our advent mass at the seniors home, Newbrook Lodge . One of our students, Justice Appiah lead with guitar and the rest of us sang a joyful noise. The students practiced on their breaks and free time. They were so full of courage and faith. We are so proud. We also enjoyed skating and shared some acts of kindness for each other that had to be homemade. It lead the students to really needing to get to know the person they were paired with . We feel blessed by our advent journey and our hearts are ready for Christmas . #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind

Michael B. is one of our student athletes. This is his first year with @stlukesoutreach.ctr and while he is one of ours, he has earned to opportunity to play basketball for the HTA Senior Boys team. This is a shot from Friday’s game against Father Lacombe at the Tournament at St. Francis High School. The Knights went on to win the tournament undefeated! Coach Macleod (assistant coach) had this to say about Michael: “Since his arrival, Michael has been a strong presence in the post, utilizing his size and strength for key rebounds and a soft touch around the hoop for quick put-backs. Beyond his on-court contributions, he has also proven to be a fantastic teammate and a great ambassador for HTA/St. Luke’s.” Thank you to @holytrinityacademy.ctr and their coaching staff for giving our students a chance to try out with your teams! It is truly one of things that makes @ctrcatholic a great place to be! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #basketball #community #faithhopelove

Even though they’re ready to grow up on us, they still came to play 9 way Kings Court volleyball with our grade 10s. Never too old to play. #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes

These young athletes chose @stlukesoutreach.ctr because they wanted some flexibility while they chased their dreams on and off the ice! What they didn’t know was that they were getting one of the best “coaches” for Math! Ms. Leslie Woehleke is an ace, and she’s going to keep this team on track in the classroom, so they can focus on their performance on the ice after school! Teamwork makes the dream work! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #hockeylife #alternativeeducation #teamwork

Our Brooks students were invited to attend a beautiful display of culture and history today! Siksika Nation dancers put on a beautiful and inspiring performance today! The traditional dance was art in motion! The dancers lead all the people present into doing a Friendship Dance where students from elementary to senior high held hands and danced in a circle to the beat of the drum! Thank you to the JBS Canada Center for hosting such a powerful event! #everychildmatters #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind

Our Okotoks campus spent some time learning about Truth and Reconciliation today. Our beloved Dylan and Jodi presented to the whole campus. It is a sombre but important subject. While it is an important part of Canadian history, it is also in alignment with the Catholic Social Teaching of Human Dignity. Every child matters. 🧡 Period. We continue to pray for healing for our nation and all of its people. #lifeatstlukes #everychildmatters #truthandreconciliation #orangeshirtday

Today our St. Luke’s students participated in a Citizens Walk about for People with Disabilities on Brooks. The theme this year is Champions for Disability Awareness. The walk was filled with joy and hope. The speeches were filled with the importance inclusion and unityIt was an inspiring experience for all who attended! The students helped with a rock painting fundraising table and had a lot of fun doing it!! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #community #inclusion #faithhopelove

UPDATE FROM OUR BROOKS CAMPUS! We had a great first day of getting organized for the year . Many students helped put some finishing touches on our new campus . We are all feeling very grateful. All work no play can be a little boring ! Today we paused the busyness and unpacking to make box forts. It’s important to work hard, but be joyful in the process! We are loving our new campus!!! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #brooks #alternativeeducation
