Dear Christ the King School Families,
We Appreciate You
In memory of the historic tragedy that took place on September 11, 2001, a special blessing was given today at morning assembly by Father Paulson, recognizing and honoring first responders in our community. To all the police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, EMT and military personnel we thank you for your bravery and service. A special thank you to Rosie Butler (CTK 5th Grade) and Mrs. Butler for guiding this ceremony to our community.
Kindness is Contagious
Support, love and compassion were evident on campus last week as our community rallied around the Carmelite of Mary Immaculate Congregation, school in Kerala, India. As mentioned previously, the school was severely damaged by flood waters. Through your generous contributions we raised $550. I appreciate your kindness and ask that you continue to pray for Father Santhosh and his community and to all those affected by this natural disaster.
Monsignor Wade Golf Tournament
CTK’s 22nd Annual Msgr. Wade Golf Tournament was held yesterday at Oakhurst Country Club. This tournament honors Msgr. Wade, builds community, and supports CTK’s tuition assistance fund and enrichment programming. Special thanks to Leo Lopoz, Golf Tournament Chair, and Dalton Brown, Director of Partnerships, for their commitment, stewardship, and leadership in designing such a legacy driven, life serving, and fun-filled event. Special thanks to all committee members who dedicated their time, talent, and resources: Emily Brown, Megan Lopoz, Marisa Mathis, Raul Ortega, Rob Ostrander, Shay Hansen, Jon Larsen, Morgan Hall and Adrian Meyer. Special thanks as well to the amazing team of CTK parents, volunteers, golfers, donors, and community members who continue to make this annual event such a huge success.
CTK Safety
The safety of our students, employees and visitors is a top priority. A shout out to LifeSaver Co. who trained/certified our full faculty and staff in CPR and first aid at the commencement of this school year. Further, within this day’s professional development opportunity we thank Police Officer Todd Jung and Police Officer Michael Hurlbut for the afternoon active shooter/intruder training. It is important to stay diligent in following safety protocols. Listed below are tips on how you can contribute to keeping our campus safe.
- Make sure all volunteer requirements have been met.
- If volunteering make sure to sign-in at the office.
- Volunteer badge should be worn while on campus.
- Carpool Safety: Drive slow and careful in a school zone.
- Suspicious behavior from members outside our community who travel on our toward campus should be reported to the office immediately.
- Know the school safety procedures in our school’s handbook.
Abundant blessings,
Mr. Silveira
Principal

The Walk-a-Jog-a-Thon is only two weeks away! Now it is time for the fundraising to begin! Students will be seeking FLAT RATE tax deductible sponsorships. Please collect money at the same time as the pledge. Return the completed Pledge and Prize Envelope and money raised to class teachers
NO LATER than WAJAT morning, September 25.
In today's Family Envelope you will find an informational flyer and a Pledge and Prize Selection Envelope. Did you know many Bay Area employers have donation matching programs designed to give back to the community and support their employee’s interests? It is a great way to double (even triple or quadruple!) your student’s fundraising efforts and help support our school. Easy and effective with a great impact! Just speak with your company's HR department so they can direct you on their procedure. The grand prize for the student who collects the most money will be a Sony Digital Camera, which will be awarded at the Medaling Awards Ceremony on Thursday, October 4.
Don't forget we need LOTS of volunteers to make this amazing event happen. Hours worked on the Walk-a-Jog-a-Thon count toward fundraising hours, plus you can cheer on your kids as you work. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jen Wilson at
[email protected]
