Christmas Eve Mass Choir Request
|
|
Hello Parents,
I've been asked a favor by our parish music minister (and former CTK school music teacher), Phyllis Gurnett, to see if I can gather a choir for the
5:30pm Christmas Eve Family Mass
. I know it's a bit of a long shot, given that everyone has family parties and other obligations, but I thought I'd reach out to you all because I do believe this is a wonderful opportunity to participate in parish life outside of school (and for such an amazing occasion!)
This isn't, by any means, a commitment quite yet, but the obligation would be in the church on Christmas Eve from
4:45pm-6pm
roughly. We'll rehearse from 4:45pm-5:15pm, take a short break, then sing at 5:30pm mass. If your student is INTERESTED and AVAILABLE, please send me an email at
rlejano@ctkschool.org
. Again, this is not a commitment, but if I can gather at least 20 students, then we'll make it happen and I will send further information. If you could let me know by
Monday, December 3rd,
that would be fantastic. I hope to hear from you!

Buy once and GIVE twice with SCRIP
Let's face it... we are all going to be spending money this holiday season. Please support CTK School by using easy online scrip this year!
Giving gifts to teenagers or others who are impossible to buy for?
·
Buy gift cards online and you can still get “physical cards” to give as gifts – convenient pick-up in the office or delivered to your child’s classroom every Thursday.
·
Imagine being able to buy your Target, Starbucks or iTunes cards now and your child's school still benefits.
Going to buy items online via Amazon anyway?
·
You can take your electronic cards and upload them to Amazon immediately (Amazon Prime Members – we are talking to you)
Why write a check for the full $250 if you don’t have to?
·
After you have reached $350, 50% of our purchases will be credited towards your tuition for the following school year.
·
The fee is only 15 cents no matter the amount you buy.
Why do it?
Did we mention – It helps the school!
