Dear Christ the King School Families,
Thank you for attending last week’s Back to School Night! I appreciated your energy and excitement for the new school year. The love you have for your children was evident, and I sincerely thank you for trusting us with their care. I hope you enjoyed visiting the classrooms and meeting your child’s teacher and instructional assistant. Our faculty and staff prepared greatly for the start of a new school year and for this evening’s events . I would like to thank all faculty, staff, and community members who presented in the church that evening as well. With the Monsignor Wade Golf Tournament forthcoming and the auction committee and festival committee meeting soon we have so much to be grateful for.
A Giving Spirit
I had an opportunity to sit down, most recently, with members of the 2018-2019 student council leadership team. It was awesome to hear their ideas and initiatives for the school year.
A $1 donation NON- UNIFORM DAY has been planned for Thursday, September 6th. Funds will go to support Father Paulson's brother Santhosh’s, Carmelite of Mary Immaculate Congregation, school in Kerala, India. CMI School was damaged by floodwaters that devastated the region. Students are asked to wear the colors of India's flag that day (orange, green and white).

Collection receptacles will be placed in each classroom and the front office. All funds will be sent to the parish office to be sent in good faith to Father Santhosh and his school community.
CTK's 22nd Annual Monsignor Wade Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, September 10th at the beautiful
Oakhurst Country Club
. The tournament is a wonderful community building tradition in support of CTK school’s programming and tuition assistance. Registration is still open to those who want to play,
