Happy Friday,
It has been another great week at Christ the King Catholic School!
Please join me in keeping our middle school math teacher, Mrs. Curran, in your prayers. Today was the last day before her maternity leave. We are looking forward to celebrating her son's birth soon! I will be sharing information about her maternity leave sub in Monday's newsletter.
Thank you to everyone who filled out the eLearning Feedback form. 94% of respondents recommended that we either continue with eLearning days every time we have to close or continue with eLearning but limit the number of days. As a reminder, we will only use eLearning Days on days we have to close for inclement weather.
We will honor our 5th - 8th grade Trimester 2 Honor Roll recipients on Monday after Morning Assembly. I hope to see you there.
We are looking forward to starting our Lenten journey. I will share the specifics next week of how we will observe Lent.
Have a great weekend.
Peace,
Ed Seib
Principal

youngest
child. The fundraising goal is $50 per family.
Click here
if you need an electronic copy.
Donations, envelopes, and pledge sheets are due back the day of Tiger Trot, March 28
th
Tiger Trot is a fun event for the kids and our school, but it serves an important role in providing funds for various school initiatives. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 which is more than we have ever raised! We have more programs to support 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.
Here
is what we have raised and how funds were used in the last 5 years. There will be a school-wide reward for hitting our overall $10k goal. Also, the classroom with the highest average amount raised per student will win a pizza party.
Online Donations:
Donations can also be made via the Orgs online payment site that is used for payments for Aftercare, Hot Lunch, etc. from now thru 3/28. Simply find Tiger Trot line, fill out the donation amount and note your child’s name, grade/classroom (ex: Jane Doe, 2B):

We are looking for a Co-Chair for Movie Nights, another parent/family to join the Kramers in planning the Tiger Trot, and a Co-Chair for the last-day-of-school ice cream social.

Our parents and volunteers play a vital role in the success of our school on a daily basis. The examples are plenty from opening doors at drop off, serving hot lunch, helping out in the classroom, being a room parent, running an after school club, coaching, etc.
We are humbled by your active support. As a token of our appreciation,
you are invited to the first annual Volunteer Appreciation Mass and Breakfast on
March 20th.

“We were moving to the area and set up multiple tours of schools to look at our options. We loved the feel of Christ the King. The sense of community at Christ the King is wonderful and we’ve been so happy with our decision.”
Lyndsay Quist, 1st grade parent
Do you have a new student at CKS this year? A kindergartner? Or maybe a transfer student? Our marketing committee wants to hear from you. We’re asking for parent testimonials to feature on our social media pages, website and marketing materials. Please take a few moments to share your opinion of your CKS experience to

Safe and Sacred
Reminder for all Volunteers
|
|
The Archdiocese has asked us to make sure that all adults who volunteer in the school (for field trips, playground duty, etc.) are trained and certified in Safe and Sacred. With field trips coming up soon, we wanted to remind anyone of this training.
If you have not done Safe and Sacred training, you can find it on the Archdiocese of Indianapolis website (or, click here -
https://safeandsacred-archindy.org/login/index.php
)
You will need to either log in or create a new account, then watch the videos and answer the questions that go along with them. There is also a background check portion that you will be prompted to complete.
This process (especially the background check part) can take up to two weeks to be completed, so please start this training early!
