Christ the King School Newsletter - October 8, 2019
|
|
A decision has been made to close Christ the King Catholic School tomorrow, October 9, 2019.
Parent/Teacher conferences will occur as planned
on Thursday, October 10 and Friday, October 11.
In consultation with local authorities and multi agencies, we made this decision due to the potential of widespread power shutoffs in our region; projected to begin early Wednesday morning with the possibility of power outages occurring throughout the day.
The preemptive power shutoffs come amid concerns of high fire risk due to gusty winds and dry conditions. As always, the safety and well being of our students, faculty and staff, and families are paramount. We thank you in advance for your understanding and flexibility.
Sincerely,
Mr. Silveira
Principal
Christ the King Catholic School

Please join us in praying for the grandfather of Tiago (7th) and Christian (4th) Da Silva who is recovering from surgery, for the grandnephew of Brigid Rehme, (see thank you's below) who is ill, for the father of Mrs. Callahan our 5th grade IA and grandfather of Jake (Gr. 4), Abigail (Class of 2019), and Katie (Class of 2016) and for the grandfather of Miss Halsey, our religion and music teacher who are ill; for Mike Maki, CTK Parish Maintenance, who is recovering from surgery, and for Quinn Gurnett, the son of Phyllis Gurnett, our CTK Parish Director of Music who is undergoing chemo. We pray for the families of all these special people, for the intentions of our school and parish staff, for the needs and cares of others, and for all those who are suffering from illness, loss, loneliness or other challenges. May God keep us all in His tender and loving care.
