Happy Friday,
I
t has been another great weekend at Christ the King Catholic School.
I was out multiple days this week at an Archdiocese principal meeting and as part of an Archdiocese school site visit. It was a great opportunity for me to exhibit a growth mindset and learn new things. At the meeting, we learned more about development and advancement techniques tailored to Catholic schools, and at the visit, I learned how a fellow Catholic school motivates and challenges their students. One simple idea from the meeting was to have a School Top 10 List that could be shared with prospective families. I am no David Letterman, so I am going to need your help and the help of the students, staff, and community.
Please use this link to share your favorite things about Christ the King.
I will add up the results and share them with you soon. I will accept answers from now until Spring Break.
Join us on our school wide Lenten journey. Details are below.
Lenten Prayer
For our Lenten focus this year, we want to use
St. Ignatius’ Examen prayer
as a daily practice or discipline to enter into the desert with Jesus and by God’s grace “Rise to New Life” upon the completion of these sacred forty days.
We have a great weekend of events coming up at Christ the King. I hope you are able to make it to the Fish Fry tonight or the Me and My Guy Dance Saturday. Regardless, I hope you are able to spend lots of time with your families.
Have a great weekend.
Peace,
Ed Seib
Principal

Tips For Reaching Out To Supporters!
Our goal this year is big; to raise $10,000
because we have more initiatives to support this year including the following: (1) Chromebooks for ILEARN and general STEM use (2) The “Dream Big” Teacher Scholarship where teachers submit ideas for a big classroom learning projects (3) PTO initiatives throughout the entire year including class trips, teacher appreciation and classroom grants.
There is a goal of $50 per family. There will be a school-wide reward for hitting our goal of $10,000. Also, the classroom with the highest average amount raised per student will win a pizza party.
Donations, envelopes and
pledge sheets

The PTO is grateful for the amazing volunteers and activity chairs who lead events and raise funds in support of our teachers, students and community. We have a few key open positions at this time. If you have ever thought about getting more involved, now is your chance! We are looking for a Co-Chair for Movie Nights, another parent/family to join the Kramers in planning the Tiger Trot, and a Co-Chair for the last-day-of-school ice cream social. If you are interested in joining the PTO by volunteering in one of these ways, please contact Natalie Sutton, PTO Vice President at

Our parents and volunteers play a vital role in the success of our school on a daily basis. The examples are plenty from opening doors at drop off, serving hot lunch, helping out in the classroom, being a room parent, running an after school club, coaching, etc.
We are humbled by your active support. As a token of our appreciation,
you are invited to the first annual Volunteer Appreciation Mass and Breakfast on
March 20th.

“If you ask me to characterize what I see when i walk through the halls, I see joy. Serious education is going on, but there is a spirit of joy here that is infectious.”
Fr Todd Riebe, Pastor
Great words of praise from our pastor! When you join Christ the King School you are also joining a community. All students get a chance to learn from Father Todd at Mass and see him in the hallways. Most students get a chance to see him on Sundays too! If you know a family who is looking for a new school home, consider inviting them to Mass to see the best teacher on campus and get a feel for our family friendly community.

Safe and Sacred
Reminder for all Volunteers
|
|
The Archdiocese has asked us to make sure that all adults who volunteer in the school (for field trips, playground duty, etc.) are trained and certified in Safe and Sacred. With field trips coming up soon, we wanted to remind anyone of this training.
If you have not done Safe and Sacred training, you can find it on the Archdiocese of Indianapolis website (or, click here -
https://safeandsacred-archindy.org/login/index.php
)
You will need to either log in or create a new account, then watch the videos and answer the questions that go along with them. There is also a background check portion that you will be prompted to complete.
This process (especially the background check part) can take up to two weeks to be completed, so please start this training early!
