JOIN US FOR THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON
On Tuesday, November 26th, parents and extended family are invited to join us for Mass, then are welcome to join your child/ren for our Thanksgiving Lunch. Parents are invited to the classrooms for a brief presentation 10 minutes prior to lunch. The lunch times are: Kindergarten through Second grade from 11 AM to Noon, Middle School from Noon to 12:45 PM, and Third through Fifth grade from 12:20 to 1:15 PM. Deadline to order adult/sibling lunches is Friday, November 15th. Please see the attached form.
WINTER WEAR
Now that the weather has turned cold, students need to bundle up. Please ensure that your child/ren’s name is on a label so clothing articles can be returned, if lost. Students may wear blue sweatpants to PE. Girls may wear tights - blue, white or black. Only sweatshirts or sweaters from RC Store are allowed in the classroom. Large jackets, hats or non-uniform sweaters will be removed once a student is inside the classroom. They are allowed to be worn on the way to lunch, church or PE.
KINGDOME DISINFECTED
On Friday during the All Star Game, a player from St. Matthew’s fell on the gym floor and got a “road rash”. Afterwards, the student tested positive for MRSA. The school was informed of this on Tuesday. We had the gym floor, locker rooms, bathrooms and water fountains disinfected. It is unlikely the student contracted MRSA from falling on the hard surface of our gym floor or that the bacteria would be alive after 72 hours; nevertheless, CTK took every precaution.
RAVENS RUN
Our Ravens Run fundraiser only has a week left! We have raised almost $3,000. The students are really hoping for a pajama day so let’s make it to $5,000! If you have not reached out to family and friends, now is the time. Our FSA has put lots of effort into this so the school can get 100% of the proceeds. Online donations can be made at https://christ-the-king-catholic-school.square.site/ravens-run . For every $50 brought in, your child will earn a raffle ticket for our $250 gift card giveaway!Parents are welcome to come and cheer on or run with their children on November 22nd. VPK/K is 8-9 AM, 1st-2nd is 9-10 AM, 3rd-5th is 10-11 AM, and 6th-8th is 11-12 PM. We also need volunteers for the Run. Please look at the signup genius and see if you can help!
