Dear Christ the King Families,

  

We have had a wonderful week filled with many fun activities for the students.  My week started off with eating lunch with over 50 students who arrived at Ralphie's in a limo for their prize from the magazine sale.  I just returned from a wonderful and energetic presentation by Dr. Mike Thomson.  He spoke to all grades and he challenged the students that they have choices and what they choose to do will impact their lives.  He was very funny and had the students' attention the entire time.  I am looking forward to trick or treat in the Hallway tonight for students K-5 from 6:00-7:30pm.  I have several announcements as we look to the week ahead.


 

Conferences

Thank you to all the parents who returned their request sheets for conferences.  We are sending the form back to you today in the brown envelope with your assigned times.  We did our best to meet your requests.  If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Murnen in the school office.  Middle school students will have student led conferences in an open house format.

 

Spirit Week

We will have our fall spirit week starting Monday and ending with the Halloween celebration.  An outline of each day's attire is attached to the newsletter.  If students choose not to wear the theme of the day, they must wear their uniforms.


 

Picture retake

Picture retakes will be on Tuesday.  Forms were sent home in last week's brown envelope.  If you would like your child to have his or her picture retaken, please make sure they have their uniform shirt with them on Tuesday.  They can wear the spirit day uniform and change their shirt for the picture. 


 

CK Band

The CK Band has gotten off to a good start this year. The 2nd year band has 14 returning members and has been practicing to perform at the pep rally later this month.  The 1st year beginners are 16 strong and are working hard to be included in the "Beginning Band" which will soon begin working on Christmas music for their first performance TBA.

 

It is not too late to become part of the beginning band program.  We are especially in need of 5th grade beginners:  drummers, clarinet or trombone players.  6th grade drummers or clarinet players would also be most welcome.  If your son/daughter is interested in joining band, please email:  bwachowiak@cktoledo.org

 

No School

Please remember that the children do not have school tomorrow.  Teachers will be at an all-day in-service.  Enjoy the three day weekend with your child!!!

 

Have a great week!

 

In Christ,

Mr. Joe Carroll

We have had an awesome beginning to the school year so to celebrate we will be holding Spirit Week October 27-31st! Each day will have a theme for dress up.

The pathway through our faith lives is rarely smooth or simple.  We are beginning a new year for the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) program.  If you are considering what path your faith may be taking you at this time, please join us, you do not have to have everything figured out yet.  We will be happy to talk to you about if this is an option you would like to take or even to talk about where your faith is leading you.    You can either email or call Suzanne Marciniak in the parish office 419-475-4348 or smarciniak@cktoledo.org.  There is also a similar program for children between the ages 7-18, contact Sandi Trabbic at strabbic@cktoledo.org for details.
