Reminders for the Week
As we begin a new week, we look forward to cooler days, and the changing colours of the fall season and we take time to reflect upon all that we are thankful for in our lives.
Please see the information below so that you can stay caught up with what is happening at CTK!
Strong Start Volunteers Needed
We are so happy to share with you that our Strong Start Literacy Program is returning once again to Christ the King! However, we can not run this program without your help. Please read the attached letter if you are interested in volunteering for this amazing program that our students benefit. Please click on the link below:
Halloween Activities!
- On Monday, October 31st, students are invited to celebrate Halloween by wearing black and/or orange OR their costumes.
- Costumes with lots of props, pieces & accessories can be lost, broken or ruined at school. Especially is if it a cold or wet day. It’s best to save your good costumes for Trick or Treating.
- If your kids choose to dress up, please be conscious of the type of costume they are planning on wearing to school. There are no exceptions for violent or excessively scary costumes, students wearing / bringing weapons, or other inappropriate costumes. Students in costumes that violate our Catholic values will need to call home for a change of clothing. If they are not sure – ASK! Masks that cover eyes are not permitted—use face paint instead! We recommend that Students reframe from wearing inflatable costumes as they are easily destroyed at school.
- Stickers, pencils, crayons are great Halloween treats to bring. If you were thinking of bringing food treats, they must be store bought, wrapped, peanut, nut, sesame seed, walnut, pecan, cashew, pumpkin seed FREE
- We do have multiple food allergies throughout the school, including those listed above. This is why we cannot share homemade treats/cupcakes/cookies etc. Homemade treats cannot be passed out and will be sent back home. Thank you very much for your understanding.
- We look forward to marking this holiday with our annual Halloween Parade – in person this year!, a dance-a-thon with tuck shop (proceeds will go towards Grade 8 graduation) and a fun change to our normal school routines!
