Happy Friday,
It has been a great second week at Christ the King Catholic School! I have been impressed with how well our students have gotten back into the routine of working hard and being protectors!
We have a 1:00 Dismissal next Friday. The teachers and I will use this time to focus on our writing curriculum. To help you remember and test our emergency phone system we will be calling you on Monday. If you don't receive a phone call by the end of the school day please let us know.
Have a great weekend. I hope you all get a lot of family time!
Peace,
Ed Seib
Principal
Christ the King Catholic School

Please continue to keep the Huffine family in your prayers. You can check
Brian's Caringbridge site
for updates on how he is doing.
The Huffine family has asked for everyone to pray to Saint Mother Theodore Guerin.
Saint Mother Theodore Guerin,
valiant woman of God,
intercede for us in our needs.
Implore for us through Jesus, the Christ,
the gifts of a living faith,
abiding hope
and steadfast charity,
so that
through a life of prayer
and service with others
we may aid in promoting
the Providence of God
among all peoples.
Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, pray for us.
Amen.

Morning/Afternoon Procedure Reminders
NEW
|
|
Absences
If a child is absent for ANY reason, the following conditions apply:
1. Parents are asked to call or email the
school office
by 8:30 a.m. on the morning of absence.
2. Upon returning, the student must deliver to the office a dated note explaining the reason(s) for the absence.
Morning Drop Off
Please do not park in the parking lot to walk your student(s) into Tuohy Hall. You may park along Norwaldo and walk them along the sidewalk passed the church. This helps keep the students safe and the drop off line moving as quickly as possible.
Afternoon Pick Up
Please do not park in the parking lot to wait for your student(s). If you are in the line, and your student(s) is not outside yet, you’ll just pull in front of the church. This will allow your student(s) to walk along the sidewalk to you. Again, this keeps everyone safe and the line moving as quickly as possible.

Hot Lunch Volunteer Sign Up
|
|
Thank you to all of the families who placed hot lunch orders for the first trimester. We had a record number of families order meals, meaning more benefits for our PTO (and our staff and families)! Please make sure to pay any open balances this weekend.
Feel free to volunteer for a lunch or two. We just ask that you sign up for the class in which your child/ren are placed OR a PTO lunch (please don't sign up for a 4th grade lunch if you don't have a 4th grader, for example). If we have openings in class lunches, we will open up to any available volunteers and will then donate proceeds to the PTO.

Sensory Advantage After School Enrichment
|
|
Handwriting Group
Sensory Advantage is excited to partner with Christ the King to offer our innovative Therapeutic Enrichment groups as part of their before and after school programming. These groups promote targeted skill development and improved attention to support optimal classroom performance.
There is more to handwriting than just holding a pencil. Learning to write is a complex task that involves the integration of multiple systems. This group will introduce students to the Handwriting Hero Rules, an easy to understand and motivating framework that facilitates improved writing legibility. Participants will also build hand strength, fine motor coordination, and visual motor control through play with a variety of manipulatives and participation in multi-sensory arts and craft projects.
Offered to students grades K-4
Group Leaders:
Joylynn Holladay, MS, OTR/L and/or Kate Loughran, MS, OTR/L
Meeting Time:
Thursdays 3:15 to 4:15. Starts August 30 and ends October 18. No group October 11.
Cost:
Cost is $125 for the 8 week session. Early Registration discounted price of $115 if you sign up by August 20.

Box Tops for Education and Tyson A+ Labels Information
|
|
Hey, Christ the King Families! Have you heard of FREE MONEY? It’s what our school receives from Box Tops for Education and Tyson A+ Labels! Our goal for this school year is $3,000, which we can achieve if everyone participates!
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Box Tops for Education:
Clip out box tops, including expiration date. Do not send in anything expired!
Count into groups of 50 and put in ziploc bag. Label the front of the bag with the number (50) and the child's room number. (If you have fewer than 50, label that number on the outside of the bag, but
do not put more than 50 in a bag please
)
Place bonus box tops in separate ziploc b
ag and label with child's room number.
Bonus labels MUST be kept separate and not counted with the regular box tops.
Tyson Project A+ Labels:
Clip labels, seal in ziploc bag, and write the number of labels and your child's teacher on the outside of the bag. Submit to designated can in the lobby, or to your child's teacher.
Several times throughout this school year we will offer incentives for classes who bring in the most box tops and labels. Please make sure the child’s room number is on every submission, and return them to school by October 1 for the first deadline.
Our school earns 10 cents for every box top that is submitted. Our school has the potential to make a significant amount of money that would ultimately benefit our children. For example, if every child in our school turned in 5 box tops per month for one year, our school could earn more than $6000.00.
Grandparents, aunts & uncles, neighbors, and friends also can help your child to collect Box Tops and Tyson labels.
Thank you for your support!
Your Coordinators,
Liz Sowinski and Sarah Dilts
