Congratulations to Maxey Elementary School who was selected as an ECTAC Exceeding Expectations School. This is a prestigious award based on student performance data. Out of 1600 Title I Schools in the State of Florida, only 26 made the selection. Qualifying schools had to reach 100% in every category and Maxey excelled in every area.
On October 5 members of the ECTAC team visited Maxey Elementary to see and hear the wonderful things teachers and administrators do to make Maxey a special place. As part of the visit, parents, teachers, staff, and community members were invited to share what makes Maxey Elementary thrive as a Title I School. St. Luke’s was honored to represent the community at this meeting.

St. Luker Salley Martin was honored to accept a certificate of appreciation on behalf of St. Luke's at a recent benefit dinner. The United Methodist Women have also been strong supporters of the jail ministry. Their representatives, Karen Brown and Rosemary Gates were also presented with a certificate of appreciation for their generous donations. ISO prepares incarcerated men and women, upon their release, to successfully transition back into the community. To learn more about ISO, visit www.ISOJM.org.
