Our CTK campus-wide “Day of Service” is scheduled for Saturday, September 28th, from 8 AM until Noon. We need many volunteers! Some projects that will be tackled include; demolition of benches and planters in front of Kingdome, cleaning out old storage closets in Kingdome, installing movable pool for underwater robotics. Please follow the link to sign your family up and list the number of adults/kids in the comment section. This is a great way to teach your children the importance of community service and giving back.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0e4aa8ab2aa7fe3-ctkday POKER TOURNAMENT TICKETS AVAILABLE

This is a great way to get your volunteer hours. If you work in a medical, science, engineering, technology or math background, please email  shashyjax5@comcast.net. Do not worry if your student is in middle school, you will be assigned another grade level. Our Science Fair is held on Tuesday, December 3rd. Please email Sharon Shashy today to let us know we can count on you. FSA MEETING
Join us for our first FSA meeting of the year.  It will be in the Media Center tomorrow Thursday, September 19th at 6:30 PM.  You will earn one service hour just for attending.  We will have a $50 gift card to RC Uniforms as a door prize.  Come and see how you can help out our school! RAVENS RUN
Our Ravens Run is planned for Friday, November 22nd.  The first step in making this a successful event is to find sponsors for our t-shirts. Depending on the sponsor level, sponsor logos and/or names will be listed on our t-shirts that will be given to each student.  If any families own a business, please consider supporting this great event!  We need this event to be successful so we can eliminate product sales such as coupon books, wrapping paper, etc.  We are still looking for volunteers to be on the planning committee. Please email FSA@ctkschooljax.com if you are interested. SPIRIT SHIRTS
FSA will be placing one more Spirit shirt order.  Please have your orders in no later than Monday, September 23rd.  Don’t forget - the students can only wear the new Navy Spirit shirts on designated spirit days.  Thank you for supporting our school! NEW THIS YEAR - TYPING
Students are practicing typing skills in all grade levels this year! They are learning about "homerow" and finger placement as well as working on accuracy and speed. SAVE THE DATE
Mark your calendars for Trunk or Treat for Thursday, October 24th!  More details coming soon but we are looking for volunteers to decorate their cars.  SCHOOL FAMILIES PARTICIPATING IN MASS
One of the ways we serve as a community is by having CTK school families bring up the offertory at the 9 AM Mass on Sunday. Kindergarten families are responsible for the month of September and First Grade is responsible for October.  Please consider signing up.  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0f4aaca92bab9-bring STUDENTS ARE LEARNING HOW TO TYPE!
