 A Message to Dr. Hamner
On behalf of the entire faculty and staff of St. Luke's Episcopal School, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Rev. Dr. James Hamner for his leadership and dedication to our school this past year. We are blessed to have found such an experienced and capable leader to guide us through this time of transition. In accepting the position as St. Luke's interim head of school, Dr. Hamner and his wife Cindy made the major decision to come out of retirement and relocate from Atlanta to San Antonio. We were overjoyed to welcome Dr. Hamner, an SLES graduate from the class of '70, back to the hilltop.
Thank you for the late-night board meetings, weekly Glance messages, daily chapel reflections, and your reassuring presence on campus every day. Though your time with us was brief, you have left a lasting impression and we will forever be grateful for your guidance of SLES this year.
We encourage all our students and community members to flood Dr. Hamner's email inbox, jhamner@sles-sa.org, with your personal notes of gratitude before he heads back to Georgia at the end of May.
With warmest gratitude,
The Faculty and Staff of SLES

VBS 2020 Update
Due to social distancing constraints St. Luke's Episcopal Church will not be having an in-person VBS this summer. Instead, the Children's Ministries Committee is looking at doing a VBS in conjunction with other churches which would include some online story videos and craft materials or other supplies that could be picked up from the church. If you are a parent of a child ages 3 to 5th grade please let us know in in this brief poll what your thoughts are on a virtual VBS alternative.
