Happy Friday,
It has been another great week at Christ the King Catholic School!
I enjoyed being able to spend some time with the 5th grade at Camp Tecumseh! I appreciate the patience of the students and parents as we transitioned this tradition from 3rd to 5th grade. The students' enthusiasm showed it was well worth the wait.
Report cards will be coming home today with your student. We will hold our trimester awards ceremony on Monday, November 19th after Morning Assembly for students in grades 5-8 who earned Honors, High Honors, and Principal List.
We have a busy week next week with our Fall Open House featuring our 2nd Annual Community Night on Wednesday and back to back school tours on Thursday and Friday. There is more information about how to help and RSVP below.
Remember, if we have over 100 students in attendance than everyone will be out of uniform on the two days before Thanksgiving Break.
We also have our annual Family Thanksgiving during the day on Wednesday and the 7th Grade Musical Thursday night! I hope to see you at one or all of the events!
Reminder: Students can no longer wear shorts. Also, please remember that students will go outside for recess as long as it's 32 degrees or warmer, so please dress accordingly with coats, hats, etc.
Have a great weekend. I hope you are able to spend lots of time with your loved ones.
Peace,
Ed Seib

TO JESUS CHRIST OUR SOV'REIGN KING
(A Prayer-Hymn)
Dear Jesus Christ our Lord,
As we look forward to your Feast Day as our King,
we offer You our praise, adoration, contrition and thanksgiving.
We humbly ask that you hear our petitions
as we pray for healing
for the Church, the world,
our country, our families and ourselves.
Also, please hear and grant the following personal
needs we now bring to you.
(Pause - 10 seconds
……………………………..
)
Now, in Adoration, we pray:
To Jesus Christ our Sov'reign King!
Who is the world's salvation.
All praise and homage do we bring,
and thanks and adoration.
Your reign extend, O King benign,
to ev'ry land and nation.
For in your kingdom, Lord Divine,
alone do we find salvation.
To you and to Your Church, Great King,
we pledge our hearts’ oblation.
Until before Your throne we sing,
in endless jubilation:
Christ Jesus, Victor!
Christ Jesus, Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!

Congratulations to Mrs. Pickering's class for collecting and turning in the most
Box Tops For Education
during August-October
.
Winning this competition earned 4A an extra recess within the next week.
The school earned $267.00 for the past 3 month period. This number could easily be increased by a little extra clipping from each family. Challenge your children to ask family members, neighbors, and friends to help them collect Box Tops and Tyson Labels for Education to help out their school.
This month there are hundreds of products featured that have Box Tops on them. Please click on the link below to see all the products available:
So as we approach the holiday season, keep your eyes out for eligible products and clip away for one of CKS's easiest fundraisers.
Thank you and Happy clipping!
Your Box Top/Labels for Education team
