Dear Christ the King Catholic School Community,

The start of school has been amazing!  So great to be back as One Community One Family, and so great to witness faith, learning, and discovery take flight.

This week we have concentrated on Saint Augustine one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of monasticism, faith, and love in word and action. 

It was awesome being back at mass this past Friday as we look forward to mass this Friday and the Labor Day Weekend.  As a federal holiday, we are called to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievement of the United States.

Next Thursday, September 7th at 7:00 pm, commencing in our church, we will experience Back to School Night as planned.  A schedule for the evening will be forthcoming in next week’s newsletter.

God bless you all as we continue our journey by the light and blessings of Christ our King,

Mr. Silveira Ed.D.

Principal 

Christ the King Catholic School     

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for all of our blessings. It is easy to overlook all that You have provided for us in our busy lives. Please keep us focused and measured as we navigate and work together. We are all part of the same team and with your help and support we can achieve our goals. Please hear the intentions in our hearts.

We pray for Zion Omole's (6th) brother Ezra who is battling illness. God please hear our prayers.

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

8TH GRADE SERVICE PROJECT, Raising Donations for Maui!

On August 8, 2023, a horrific fire broke out and destroyed much of Lahaina, Maui. Catholic Charities of Hawaii is collaborating with community partners to immediately deliver resources and services to aid the affected communities in recovering from the devastating Maui wildfires.  

Last week, the 8th Grade Class of 2024 launched a school wide service project to collect donations that will be sent to Catholic Charities of Hawaii, as they work to address the immediate needs of Maui, while also planning for long-term recovery efforts.

As we are nearing our goal of donations, CTK has decided to reward the school with a free dress day on Thursday, August 31st. Please continue to support our service project! We will be collecting money through the end of the week and then sending our donations, along with our love, support, and prayers to Maui.  

The 8th Grade Class of 2024 is deeply grateful for CTK’s outpouring of generous support and love!

Marvelous job to all the CTK students who participated in the Summer Reading Challenge!  As a school, the students documented reading a total of 9,883 books!  

Summer reading is an advantageous component of student literacy. Curling up with a book not only helps maintain or improve a student's reading level during the break, it also impacts their vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension skills. For the past two summers our Christ the King School Library has encouraged students to participate in one of two Summer Reading Challenges, based on the student's grade.

1st, 2nd and 3rd Graders have the opportunity to work toward completing 100 (or more!) picture books or chapters over the summer.  

4th - 8th Graders tried for 20 (or more!) books before school started.  

All students who participated earned prizes based on the number of books they read. Students received bookmarks, erasers, water bottle stickers, free dress passes, ice cream tickets, and of course, new books to keep!  

We are proud of all the students who took time over the summer to open up a book (or 20). More importantly, the students are proud of themselves.

A special thank you to Jaffe Leffler and the Book Fair committee, as well as all Book Fair customers. Your support provided many of the Summer Reading Challenge prizes.

This Wednesday the choir will practice in the church from 2:20-3pm.

It was great to see so many new faces in choir this week!

It's not too late to join. Just fill out the form at this link.

The Family Choir is open to children of all ages and their families (children must come with at least one adult), and is focused on familiar, fun, learnable music.

Hello everyone. My name is Eliana Makhoul and I am a CTK alumni (class of 2021). I am a junior at Carondelet and I have been working on starting my own service project to help the sick and needy. The purpose of this project is to collect donated over the counter medications and first aid supplies to send to underprivileged families in Lebanon. I am working with LAWA (Lebanese American Women Association) to send these donated supplies to different organizations all throughout Lebanon. Specific items and donation locations can be found in the advertisement flyer. I appreciate this opportunity to rely on my CTK community to help me collect these items and help those in need in Lebanon. I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this project.
