Celebrate Catholic Schools Week
January 31- February 5.
Catholic Schools Dividends for Life
Education
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.-Benjamin
Franklin
Faith
Faith leads us beyond ourselves. It leads us directly to God.-Pope John
Paul II
Knowledge
Knowledge is power.-Sir Francis Bacon
Morality
Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking.-J.C. Watts
Discipline
With self-discipline most anything is possible.-Theodore Roosevelt
As we begin to celebrate our Catholic school over the
next week, we begin to think about why we send our children to a
Catholic school. I would like to believe that it is the Catholic
tradition and academic excellence, the balanced curriculum, safe
environment and the caring community that the school provides. As we
focus on the next week let us celebrate our school and all the great
opportunities that it provides to our community.
Parking Lot Reminders
As a reminder when picking up students after school
please make sure that you park in a parking space and wait for your
child to come to you to get in the car. We are having too many parents
just drive through the parking lot and pick students up without parking.
Please for the safety of our students, park and help one another as a
community to look out for our children.
Valentine Sales
There is a Valentine’s sale on February 11, 2010 sponsored by the
Respect Life committee. All of the classes will have the opportunity to
visit the sale. The items being sold can be purchased as gifts for
parents, brothers, sisters, teachers, etc. All items sold range in price
from $1-$7 and the proceeds good to the Respect Life committee. Thank
you in advance for your support.
Pre-Registration
Pre-registration forms will be coming home soon, and
are due back in the office by March 1, 2010. We will be sending out a
letter and information card. Please fill out the information card and
return it with $50 non-refundable fee that will apply toward your
registration. Please look in your child’s Friday Folder for the
Pre-registration letter.
State assessments are just around the corner.
Teachers prepare students from year to year for standardized testing by
aligning instruction with required standards throughout the school year.
These tests are important and should be taken seriously. Taking test can
be somewhat stressful at times so we want the children to have the best
possible environment in which to complete the series of tests. Realizing
it is good practice all year round, you may help your child be alert and
prepared by doing the following:
ü
Ensure a good night’s sleep
ü
Be
sure your child eats breakfast before school
ü
Schedule vacations and appointments outside of the school day
Haiti Aide
Thank you to everyone who sent in funds for the
earthquake victims of Haiti. Christ the King Catholic School raised $675
that we sent to the diocese of Wichita to be distributed to the people
of Haiti. Again thanks for all the generosity you provide for others.
I find it a privilege to be part of such a great
school!
Thank you and God Bless,
Mrs. Cindy Chrisman
Father John Brungardt
