Happy Friday,
It has been another great week at Christ the King Catholic School.
We are nearing the end of our ILEARN testing. I am proud of how the students have exhibited a Growth Mindset by embracing challenging problems and persevering through multiple days of testing.
Good luck as you work on completing your Environmental Challenge. The Saints Isidore and Maria Garden is almost completely planted. Speaking of the garden, if you would like to take care of the garden and/or chickens over the summer, let me know.
It was a wonderful week for our 8th graders as they visited Washington, D.C. I look forward to spending the last few days before graduation with them, starting with a kickball game on Monday at 2:00.
Thanks in advance for all of the planning that has been put into Teacher Appreciation Week next week. The staff and I are truly grateful.
Happy Mother's Day to all of our CKS moms!
Have a great weekend!
Peace,
Ed Seib

Mentor Families
Still Needed
|

We are seeking current CKS families who are willing to mentor incoming families to our school this upcoming school year. New families will be met with many new faces and much information along the way. Mentor families help to familiarize these new families with the school and its procedures, and serve as a liaison between the school, the parish, and new families. If you and your family would like to support this ministry, we ask that you review the notes in the link below to understand what is asked of you to ensure each new family feels welcome and supported.
If you and your family are interested in serving as part of this important ministry, please email Mrs. Andie Silvey at
asilvey@cks-indy.org
.
If you have been a menor family in the past, we still ask you to let us know if you want to do this each year.

2019-2020 PTO Board Nominations Requested
New
|
|
T
he PTO Board is seeking volunteers for the positions of Vice President and Secretary next year. Natalie Sutton has served as VP and will step into the role of President. Michele Pettrone will continue as Treasurer, and Jennifer McKendry will join her in training for the Treasurer role the following year. Lauriale Cabrera will serve as Past President next year.
Overall, we are a small, laid back group of parents, who plan fundraisers and activities to make CKS a better place by supporting the teachers and encouraging parent involvement at the school. Both positions are asked to attend one monthly PTO Board meeting on a weeknight evening (schedule to be determined by Board members). The VP recruits room parents and trains for the future role of President. The Secretary takes minutes at monthly meetings and shares minutes for approval. We are excited to try some new formats with the PTO meetings next year and to continue and build upon the good work already being done.

We have hosted two preschool field trips to the Saints Isidore & Maria Garden this Spring. Our middle school students have planned and implemented activities that allow are guest to interact with our garden and learn.
Next year we will offer even more options for area preschools. Schools can visit the garden in the Fall or the Spring and they can also visit the St. Patrick STEM Lab any time for some hands on activities.
You can help spread the word by passing this flyer on to your child's current or former preschool.
Preschools often confirm their field trips in advance so if you can send this out soon we can get them on our calendar. This is a great opportunity to market the school and for our older students to work on their leadership.
