Monday Minute
Innovative Catholic Leaders Grown Here!
Happy Monday, 

I hope everyone had a great Fall Break!

We are off to a busy week. Ask your student about Pere Max's visit today!

I hope you can make it to the first ever PTO Fall Gathering on Thursday. Check out below for more information.

I'd like to thank all of our parents, grandparents, alumni, and Father Todd for spending time reading to the students at last week's Read Across Christ the King Day. Thanks as well to our 8th graders for being protectors today at the Coats for Kids Drive.

Congratulations are in order for CKS alumni Mary Bea Sowinki and Alex Gantz and Christ the King parishioner Emily Loiselle! All three earned All Sectional honors on the way to helping lead the Bishop Chatard Cross Country Team to a Sectional Title!

Have a great week!

At this gathering, you will hear valuable school news and updates, including:  
  • ILEARN results and how we’re applying our learnings
  • CKS strategic plan and our areas of focus
  • School safety plans
  • Hear from the School Commission
  • Learn from the PTO how your support of activities throughout the year is making an impact. 

Adult beverages will be served, and this is a parents-only event. Please come and socialize with CKS parent friends and learn about what’s happening at school. 
Book Sale/ Book Fair October 21st!!!
There is a lot of reading going on these days! And everyone deserves a good book! 

A Used Library Book Sale will be held on 10/21st-Parent/Teacher Conference Day! These books are rarely used, well-loved, very old, or duplicate books that we are ready to retire from our amazing library. Each year we try to freshen up our selections, while also keeping or replacing the old favorites and classics. We would like every student to have at least one book, and additional books can be had for a recommended donation of 25 cents per book. This small donation will be used to purchase new books. Again... every student can take one book for free! 

This book sale will make room on the shelves for new books we will purchase from the upcoming Scholastic Book Fair! We use all profits from our book fair to purchase books for our teachers’ classrooms or the library. More info coming soon!

We hope you enjoy both of our book sales this year!
