Dear Christ the King Catholic School Community,

Praying you and your families are well.  I miss you all dearly and am accomplishing a lot from home school-wise, but certainly different away from our One Community One Family.  I wanted to share with you that with God’s grace/providence and your prayers and support, I am cleared to return to school in a cast and knee scooter next Monday.  The healing has been exponential thus far and I am truly grateful for your support and understanding.  I can’t wait! :-) 

Today, tremendous respect/gratitude/blessings go out to CTK Mosignor Wade Golf Tournament Chairs Raul Ortega and Connor Day and their committed leadership team and volunteers for their dedication, leadership, inventiveness, great spirit, and awesome intentions of the heart.  Both Raul and Connor are incredibly bright and strong leaders with an equally vested interest in our school’s mission and education – with a team/donors/volunteers that are equally committed and talented.  With deep gratitude and a heartfelt thank you, proceeds go in good faith to our Declan Fund and mitigate the cost of our third-party New Leaf Science programming. 

The following Monsignor Wade Golf Tournament Members are highly commended with much respect and gratitude:

Golf committee members:

Raul Ortega

Henry Santos

Connor Day

Gina Galicz

Scott Greer

Carlos Pires

Tom Branch

Matt Wrighton

James Richardson

Special thanks to Father Paulson for joining in the morning of the tournament to share a golf-themed prayer.  A huge thank you to all of the day-of volunteers who ran registration, food booths, the hole-in-one contest, set up & clean up! A fantastic day was had on the course!

In closing, our 1st graders and Miss Pastor along with Father Paulson and Heidi Nuti have prepared this Friday’s mass with a powerful Gospel message and focus on Mary our Holy Mother.  In addition, Nicole Zucconi and her Festival team have done such great work in preparing for this weekend’s Pumpkin Palooza.  Their courage, creativity, conscientious work ethics, wonderful intentions of the heart, and care demonstrated – has not wavered…..focusing on our families/students/faculty and staff/community. A huge thank you and may our Festival continue to be filled with safety, joy, legacy, and fun-filled activities.

Abundant blessings and I can’t wait to see you all soon,

Mr. Joseph M. Silveira Ed.D.

Principal 

Christ the King Catholic School 

Dear Heavenly Father, Our lives are getting busy, but please help us to remember to slow down and say thank you. You fill each of our days with wonder and joy, it is easy to take it all for granted. We thank you for all the blessings given to us. Please hear the intentions we have in our hearts for our CTK community.

We pray for Zion Omole's (6th) brother Ezra and Mrs.Kemmerer's (5th Grade Teacher) mother who are battling illness. Prayers, compassion and healing grace to Sister Kathy Lang, Sister Carmel Garcia, Sister Joanne Gallagher and Sister Anna Marie Gillett. We ask God to hear our prayers and provide the love and support we are seeking.

• Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture or heritage are not permitted.
• Costumes should not hinder students’ ability to participate in classes, including PE.
• School rules regarding dress code must be followed: No short skirts/shorts, no bare midriffs, no bare shoulders, or low necklines.
• Students or parents who have questions about the acceptability of their costumes should check with their homeroom teacher prior to wearing the costumes to school. 
• Students wearing inappropriate costumes will need to call home to have a change of clothes brought to them. 

Thank you all for supporting appropriate, distraction-free learning environments for students by adhering to these guidelines. We’re looking forward to all the fun Halloween festivities!

As much as we all love our furry friends, per the Oakland Diocese policy we can not have dogs on campus. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for leaving your pets at home.
