Is there anything better than a baby goat? We don’t think so! In the midst of the chaos of June and final assessments and diploma preparation, our Brooks campus got to take a little pause in the very best way today. In the midst of completing the Semester work , our students got to cuddle four day old goats. 🐐 It was so calming and such a great way to find the present moment in the busyness of June. Thank you McKeela Sansome for sharing these special creatures with us! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #babygoats #pause #breathe #love

This afternoon our Brooks Campus students presented $ 1200 dollars to our beloved local animal shelter, BAPS and $200 dollars to our local Foodbank! These funds are a result the fruit of their labour and commitment to the Youth In Philanthropy Community Foundation. Jordynn Lubbers , Matthew Lohman , Brandon Reed Shanks and Ari Noel did an exceptional job presenting to the Community Foundation and Charities. Our outgoing Superintendent, Dr. Scott Morrison, as well as our incoming Superintendent, Mrs. Andrea Holowka, along with our Principal, Leslie Woehleke all came from Okotoks to support our students and their efforts. “And be ye kind to one another, and tender hearted.” -Ephesians 4:32 #toserveistolive #leavenotoneheartbehind #lifeatstlukes #foodbank #animalshelter #faithhopelove

Students at our Okotoks campus had the privilege and honour to learn from a past student about Indigenous life. Kyle Young Pine shared the afternoon with us. We watched his documentary and listened as he shared his story about embracing his Indigenous heritage and his journey to becoming a Fancy Feather dancer. It was inspiring, humbling and incredibly well done. Thank you @kyle.yp for your openness and courage! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #indigenouseducation #fancyfeatherdancer #studentsuccess #faithhopelove

The staff and students at our Brooks campus were able to attend mass with Father Marino and the Newbrook Lodge residents today. It was a joyful and holy way to celebrate and reflect on the blessings of Catholic Education. We are reminded once again how blessed we are to learn and grow in this faith community! Catholic education week has been filled with blessings! #ibelieveincatholiced #walktogether #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind

We took a walk for Catholic Education today… we walked to the river, skipped some stones and enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation. Mostly we enjoyed each other’s company. #ibelieveincatholiced #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #takemetotheriver

It is Catholic Education week and we are so grateful to be able to teach and work and learn in a faith focused environment. Our students come to us from many different places for many different reasons. So we asked them, “What makes St. Luke’s different? “ For some this is there first experience in a Catholic school. Others have been in catholic school systems for their entire education. We wanted to know in their own words, What makes St.Luke’s so special? This is what they had to say. #lifeatstlukes #ibelieveincatholiced #leavenotoneheartbehind #whywelovethisschool #ctrcatholic #faithhopelove #thegreatestoftheseislove #instagood #instagram #school #education #jesus #kindness #patience #flexibility #alternative #onlineeducation #inpersonlearning

“Fishing is a way to be at peace with the world and oneself.” – Unknown Some days are better than others but a day that includes fishing?? Now that’s the best kind of day!!!

Let’s wrap up #teacherappreciationweek with another #guesswho ! St. Luke’s is lucky to have acquired this incredible teacher just a couple years ago! She has taught at multiple grade levels (2-6-7-8-9) and in multiple schools, and she brings that experience and passion here every day!! We are so grateful that she chose Luke’s!! She is patient and kind and she is definitely meant to work with kids!!! She actually said that if she had not become a teacher, she would’ve been a paediatric nurse because she just knew she was meant to work with young people!!! She is also organized, friendly and really smart!!! Can you guess which AMAZING teacher this is??? #whoisit #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #teachersofinstagram #teacher #teacherlife #flashbackfriday

Classrooms come in all shapes and sizes. Mrs. Faye knows this better than anyone! Today’s learning is happening in the foyer at our Okotoks campus! You might ask why? We say, WHY NOT!?! Big windows, a comfy couch and “criss cross apple sauce” make Math easier!!! Sometimes a change of scenery is just what we need! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #crisscrossapplesauce #math #comfycouch #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #classroompinspirations #uniquelearning #
