Monday Minute
Happy Monday,

I'd like to thank all the CKS Moms for planning and serving the Me and My Guy Dance this past weekend. It was a great event! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

We have a busy week ahead of us as always. I hope I will see a lot of you at tomorrow's PTO meeting. I will share my principal report and the PTO Executive Board will be sharing information about all of the ways they support the school. Wednesday will be our monthly School Commission meeting. Finally Friday our 4th Graders will march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown and we will have Irish Dancers visiting us at 8:30 in Tuohy Hall to help us celebrate St. Patrick's Day. All are invited to come and join in.

Have a great week!

Peace,

Ed Seib

Tiger Trot 2019 Updated
Tips For Reaching Out To Supporters!
 
The countdown to Tiger Trot is on and this event is 3 weeks away on Thursday, March 28 th . Remember to keep reaching for donations. Here are some  tips for how to reach out to potential 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  are due back the day of Tiger Trot, March 28 th .  As another option, donations can also be made via the Orgs online payment site  here .  

 We are looking for event day volunteers.    Click here  to access Sign-up Genius to volunteer.  
PTO Meeting Tomorrow
Dear Christ The King Parents,

The PTO represents all parents and families of our school, raising funds and coordinating activities to support teachers and create a positive learning environment for students. We are so grateful to all of you in this community for support of PTO activities throughout the year. Whether you order hot lunch or volunteer to serve hot lunch, serve as a room parent, chair an activity, donate to Tiger Trot or support in numerous other ways, we are doing great work for the school together.

As we plan a few final activities this school year and look ahead to next year, the PTO would like to invite you to learn more about our work and consider joining us as a PTO volunteer or at our monthly meetings. Many hands make light work, and we look forward to growing the number of volunteers involved with the PTO. We’re a small, relaxed, fun group of parents, all working to make our school even better.

Please consider joining us at the next PTO meeting tomorrow night from 6:30 to 8:00 pm in the Sweeney Conference Room.  We’ll have snacks and beverages, and this special meeting will be an opportunity to hear from Mr. Seib and PTO leaders to learn more about the PTO and its role in the school. If you’ve ever considered getting involved, whether you can give a lot of time or just a little, we hope you can come Tuesday evening to learn more. 

Please email Natalie Sutton at  nataliemsutton@hotmail.com  to let us know if you plan to attend Tuesday evening, or reach out to learn more if you are interested but unable to join us Tuesday.

Again, thank you for all you do to support the PTO and our wonderful school!

Best,
Christ The King School PTO Board
Lenten Daily Prayers
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.

Each student will receive  an adapted form of the Examen prayer to use  at home in the morning and evening. All family members are welcome to participate in this prayer process
CKS Top 10 List
One simple marketing idea I picked up from an Archdiocese Principal meeting I had last week 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.
Bridge to Bois de Lance NEW
Calling all Protectors! We have set a goal of raising $1,000 for our Haiti sister Parish school lunch program. This will provide five students with lunch for an entire school year. We will have a collection at the last school mass of the month until the end of the year to reach our goal. Our first collection will be on Wednesday, March 20th. Please encourage your students to participate.
