Happy Friday,
It has been another great week at Christ the King Catholic School!
Don't forget to ask your friends and family to busy trash bags. Orders and money are due next Wednesday. This is the only fundraiser that we ask that everyone participates in. These funds go directly into our budget and have a direct impact in the classroom. Also if the students meet our goal of $15,000, I will be back on the roof for a day.
Tomorrow is the worldwide day for prayer for the care of creation established by Pope Francis! We are blessed to have the ARK Society to lead us in caring for creation. We are also lucky to have our Saints Isidore & Maria Garden that allows our students hands-on experiences with caring for creation. I hope you are able to spend lots of time outdoors during the long Labor Day weekend.
Peace,
Ed Seib
Principal

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.
