Virtue of the Month for May: Helpfulness

2016-2017 Tuition Change in Fees

The School Council has approved a change in fees for the 2016-2017 school year. There will be no man-datory purchase of Gala tickets [$150 per family]. (However, the school will still sponsor a Gala.) In place of $150 tickets, the 2016-2017 fees will add $35 per family PTC dues. There will also be a $50 increase in the Fundraising Fee from $250 to $300 per family. These changes have already been made and will be reflected in your SMART Tuition accounts for the new school year.

Thank You!

Many thanks to everyone who made a donation to St. Luke School via the Big Give S.A. Thank you also for your patience with the Big Give website. There were a few glitches, but in the end over $3,000,000 was raised for nonprofits throughout the San Antonio Area. The $545.00 in donations which we received will be used for the rosary garden which is planned for the area behind Pre-Kinder and Kinder classrooms. Thank you again for your continued generosity.

From Mrs. Baumann in the Cafeteria: Students whose

lunch accounts are more than $6.00 (2 lunches) in arrears

will be served an alternate lunch. Any positive balances

will be carried over to next school year. Please contact

Mrs. Baumann if you have any questions regarding your

child’s lunch account at cafeteria@stlukecatholic.org or

210-434-2011, ext. 130.
