Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for all of the blessings in our lives. We turn to You in our times of need for support. You continue to hold our hands through our everyday lives. We ask You to give us strength and wisdom to lead the life You have intended for each of us.

We pray for our principal and friend, Joe Silveira as he recovers from illness. Please God keep him safe and on the road to recovery. Please let him feel the love and support from 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.

 If you have special intentions please email Mrs. Meran here so we can include them in our next newsletter.

On Thursday, October 19th, we will be having a “Pink Out” for the CTK students. We encourage the students to wear pink during the school day to raise money for breast cancer awareness. Please bring a small donation on the Pink Out Day, All raised funds will be donated to a breast cancer awareness fund. Thank you!

Halloween Costume Guidelines

• Costumes that depict alcohol, drugs, violence, or violent characters are not permitted. Fake weapons are not allowed.
• 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!

Thank you to everyone that has signed up to help our teachers and school! Your time and commitments help us to have the best school year possible. 

When you are finished with your volunteer service, remember to fill out the google form that records your Family Service Hours. You can find the form here. This form can be completed after each volunteer opportunity or your earliest convenience so that your hours are recorded and not forgotten! 

Please complete the form here if you are requesting reimbursement for school activities (for example, PTG events). After requests are reviewed and approved, your reimbursement will be ready within 7-10 business days. 

Please drive SLOWLY and CAREFULLY in the school parking lot during morning drop off and afternoon pick up. Small children can be hard to see in a crowded lot, so we ask that you be aware of their safety at all times. Also, when parking please pull forward to the front spaces, if available, and park facing the gym. We appreciate your support in keeping everyone safe!
