Other Funds and Special Initiatives

The Grounds for Our Future campaign was launched in 2018 with a vision to maximize the outdoor spaces on the St. Luke's School grounds. Our child-centered playground opened to rave reviews in September 2019, and our renovated courtyard and amphitheater made in-person learning, socialization, and small classroom gatherings possible in September 2020. These initiatives have continued to enhance the life of the school ever since.  

In the Fall of 2022, our rooftop field was completed. In this unique space, children can learn and play on the roof of our school while enjoying stunning views of New York City. Catherine Corry and Rebecca Morse, Grounds for Our Future Co-Chairs, worked with architects to develop the field of our students’ dreams, knowing that outdoor space is precious.

As a result of Building Our Future, we expanded our building by two stories in 2017, adding nine classrooms and the largest middle school gym in New York City. This campaign also allowed St. Luke’s to double our enrollment, growing from one class in each grade to two classes.

To commemorate the graduating class, we often organize a special gift and project so that the families and students can leave a lasting legacy at St. Luke’s. The gift reflects the needs and wants of our wonderful teachers and we ask that families maintain their Annual Fund support from the previous year and also consider a gift in addition to reach the class gift goal and complete the project.

Previous class gifts have included creating breakout rooms, funding for the Green Ox, and purchasing new science and STEM equipment.

The current make possible campaign began in the Fall of 2022 and is in its final year. At this time of leadership transition at the school, the campaign seeks to raise funds that will help carry St. Luke’s into its new chapter under Tracy Fedonchik’s leadership.
