PTO

St. Luke’s School could not exist and succeed without a great deal of parental involvement. That involvement includes Room Parents, Lunch Monitors, Field Trip Chaperones, Library Workers, Service Ministry Coordinators and much more.

 

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a dynamic group of parents who meet and plan on a regular basis. They concentrate on the creation and execution of fundraising efforts that ultimately benefit all our students through enrichment programs and technology upgrades.

 

They are constantly brainstorming and are always looking for new parents with fresh ideas, to join the team.

 

As a parent or guardian, you are automatically a member of the PTO and are invited to all PTO meetings, as well as a wide variety of school events, which help foster and build our wonderful community. We welcome and encourage you to
volunteer your talents to one or more of our PTO activities.

 

The PTO fundraisers include specific events as well as more passive ways to earn money for our school such as Amazon Smile which anyone who is a friend of the school (parents, grandparents, relatives, friends etc.) can participate in.

Dear St. Luke's Community,

 

After 25 wonderful years, we share with you both gratitude and a bit of bittersweet news -

the Trot Off Your Turkey 5K and 1.5 Mile Race/Walk has officially come to a close.

 

What we began in 1999 as a simple way to bring our community together over Thanksgiving

weekend, grew into a beloved tradition that drew families, friends, and runners from near and 

far.  Through every mile run, walked, and every chilly morning start, your participation and

generosity helped make this event truly special.

 

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the St. Luke's community and the town of 

Barrington for your unwavering support over the years.  Because of you, the Trot off Your Turkey

event raised vital funds that enriched the educational experience of students and teachers at 

St. Luke's School, in meaningful and lasting ways.

 

Thanks to your contributions, we were able to offer countless field trips, enhance classroom

technology, improve buildings and grounds, and most importantly create fun, memorable

experiences for so many.

 

While the race itself may no longer continue, the impact it made will be felt for years to come.

We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished together, and are deeply grateful to the 

countless volunteers, sponsors, participants, and organizers who made each year possible.

 

Thank you for being part of this tradition, and for making it one filled with community, generosity, 

and joy!

 

With sincere gratitude,

 

Nicole Varone, Father Tim Reilly and the Trot Off Your Turkey Committee
