Dear Christ the King Catholic School Community,
Thursday’s mass to close our school year will be led by our student council. It is with tremendous gratitude in my heart that I thank God for His many blessings upon our community. Likewise, I thank each of you for your commitment and care to Catholic education.
A very special thank you to Festival chair's Nicole Zucconi and Dustin Dockery and their amazingly gifted Festival team for this year’s CTK Rock n’ Roll Festival. Nicole and Coach Doc are to be commended for their leadership, intentionality, courage, commitment, and inventiveness. Their focus on One Community One Family and especially on our students was admirable.
As we close the school year we are stable with regards to faculty and staff transitions for the 2023-2024 school year. With tremendous gratitude in my heart, we thank the following faculty and staff for their commitment to Christ the King Catholic School and send abundant blessings to each departing member and their families:
- Alyssa Belz is to be commended for her CTK roots as a student, her ability to lead via student council and with regard to school-wide events, and well beyond her stellar role as a homeroom teacher. Alyssa has exhibited a conscientious work ethic and an all-in/fully engaged vocational call as a beloved/respected Catholic educator. Alyssa is well-spoken, well-intentioned, and well-planned; and is a tremendous role model for our faculty/staff/families/students. Her affable spirit, altruistic ways, and ability to communicate at the highest levels possible are greatly valued. Abundant blessings to Alyssa, Sebastian, and their amazing family!
- Mollie Callahan has fulfilled the role of instructional assistant at our school in two capacities: as a fifth-grade and now kindergarten instructional assistant. Mollie has deep roots here at our school, as two of her children have graduated from CTK with her son will be entering 8th grade next school year. Mollie has plans to further her education and develop her gifts and talents toward renewed career aspirations. We thank Mollie for her kind heart, gentle spirit, and commitment to our school community. Immense blessings to Mollie, Pat, and their beautiful family.
- Brandon Kearney acclimated quickly at our school, and has built strong relationships with our students/faculty/staff. Brandon recently finished his master's degree from Saint Mary’s College and has aspirations to teach and lead at the high school level. Brandon has demonstrated awesome leadership and interpersonal skills. The aforementioned comes naturally to Brandon whereby he is a respected club soccer coach as well. We will miss Brandon’s grounded outlook, sincere heart, and active listening skills. We wish Brandon, his wife Alexa, and their family continued blessings and tremendous success.
Looking forward to Kindergarten Awards Eve, Thursday’s mass led by our student council, and the CTK tradition of Jumping the Line.
May peace, renewed spirit, joy/fun, health, and relaxation surround your summer break and plans,
Mr. Joseph M. Silveira
Principal
Christ the King Catholic School

For the parents, it represents a time to reconnect with other families.To everyone involved we can not thank you enough for all of your time and energy you spent to make this event so fun for everyone!
