IMPORTANT DATES

THE BLESSING OF THE PETS

The Blessing of the Pets is a long standing tradition at Christ the King in honor of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi the patron saint of animals and God's creation. Friday, October 4th, at 8:00 AM, guardians and their pets are invited to Sheppard Square for a special blessing. 

COFFEE WITH COMBS AT 8AM

Each Friday Mr. Combs is hosting a "Coffee with Combs" for a particular grade level.  This is a casual gathering that allows you to ask administration questions about Christ the King.  If possible, a teacher from your child's grade level will be available for a few minutes to help answer general grade level questions.  So that you can plan, the schedule for the remaining grade levels is below.  We understand that some of our parents cannot attend a morning session and we are working on plans for sessions that will accommodate your schedules. 

Coffee with Combs:

5th Grade 10/11

6th, 7th & 8th Grade 10/18

YEARBOOK UPDATES

Good news! All students will get a yearbook this year! You do not need to order or pay. If you would like more than one copy for your student, then you will need to reach out to Mrs. Campbell. 

Mrs. Campbell will also send out a letter to 8th grade parents/guardians later this year about how they can purchase ads in the back of the yearbook for their students.

Lastly, we need help gathering photos especially of basketball, cross country, and cheerleading.
