Greenwood Parade

Wednesday, July 24

Mark your calendar for a fun summer event –

The Greenwood Parade and Christ the King.

Bring your CKS students in their Panther Pride

T-Shirts and march with other CKS families.

Gather in the parking lot of the Salvation Army

on Greenwood Avenue. Watch the summer

packet for the specifics of joining into the fun

of representing your favorite school.

Summer Learning for All

Continuing learning for all CKS students for this

summer is vital. The summer is definitely three

months without organized classroom learning. A

good number of parents have signed up for the

Extended Summer Program with Mrs. Banderas,

which covers when school is out and the weeks

before it starts. Mrs. Banderas will have learning

an important part of the day. The traditional CKS

Summer Camp run by Katie Lundberg has a solid

learning component with two very experienced and

capable teachers.

Mrs. Rincon, srincon@ckseattle.org), the learning

specialist, has a list of possible tutors for you to

use. There will be a Summer Learning packet sent

home with every student (next year K-8) with the

Summer Book List, learning projects in reading and

math. Science and Social Studies projects will be

included. All of this will be in an emerald green

CKS recycling bag. Hopefully this will help you

keep everything in one place so that it can be used

at least two or three times a week. Signing up for

the Seattle Library’s Summer Reading Program and

visiting the library on a steady basis is very helpful

to your student. Thank you so much for your im-

portant part in your CKS student’s continued sum-

mer learning

.Eighth Grade Baccalaureate

& Graduation

Our eighth grade graduates have a very im-

portant week. All graduates and their fami-

lies will be attending the Baccalaureate Mass

at 8:40 with all of the student body. Gradu-

ates and families will sit in the front. Fol-

lowing the Baccalaureate Mass, the graduates

and families are attending a breakfast that is

hosted by the seventh grade. On Friday

evening there will be a Graduation Ceremony

at 7:00pm. Do remember that each of you

and your student is invited to the Gradua-

tion Ceremony on Friday evening.

Contingency Classrooms

Next week the students from the main build-

ing will be in the following rooms from

Monday, June 3 to the morning of Friday,

June 7 at 10:00am. On Friday of this week,

the students in the main building will be

moving to their contingency classrooms with

the help of parents and teachers. EEC3 and

EEC4 are completing their year this week.

Eighth graders do not attend next week.

Fifth, sixth and seventh graders have com-

plete use of their rooms. The kindergarten,

first, second, third, and fourth graders are in

the following rooms next week.

Kindergarten – Brannon House Library

First – Red Eighth Grade Room

Second Grade – Yellow Science Room

Third Grade – St. Peter’s Room /Lounge

Fourth Grade – St. Peter’s Room /Lounge

End of the Year Obligations

Teachers are assessing and preparing for final

report cards. The report cards will be mailed

to you right after school is out on June 10 if

all of your financial obligations are complet-

ed. That includes tuition, SCRIP, commit-

ment hours, library and books fees, auction

requirements, and annual fund donations.

Please talk with me if you have any questions

and keep us informed as to when you are

clearing these accounts. –Mrs. Brand,

abrand@cseattle.org

All Parents are Needed to Help

Move Boxes & Furniture

Many, many thanks to each and every parent who

has been packing and moving boxes from the main

building. THIS WEEK we need LOTS of assis-

tance. Your grade’s Room Parent and the Moving

Captain will keep you posted as to their packing

needs, but we need people to MOVE BOXES AND

FURNITURE! The building needs to be COM-

PLETELY empty by June 1st at noon. Sign up for

one of the four remaining moving days. We need

people to do paperwork and marking as well as mov-

ing the boxes. PLEASE SIGN UP TO HELP!

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

All School and New Family BBQ

Our All School and New Family BBQ is June 3rd at 11:45am. We will

be starting with a short prayer service and then will announce our recip-

ients of the Volunteer Award and the Parish Service Award. Education-

al Outfitters will be on campus for you to try on uniforms for next

year. You can take an order form and place your order online to save

time. Educational Outfitters will deliver the uniforms to CKS so you

don’t have to pay shipping costs. Our BBQ this year will take place on

N 117th Street (between Dayton and Phinney Ave N). We are CLOS-

ING THE STREET (already permitted through the city). Therefore,

please be sure NOT to park on N 117th between 10am and 2pm that

day. The BBQ will be picnic style, so please bring a blanket, a beach

chair, or something to sit on. The grassy area by the church is a perfect

place to sit and eat. If you would like to volunteer for the event, please

click on the sign up genius link. http://www.signupgenius.com/

Volunteer Hours – Time to submit!!! The end of the school year is fast approaching! It’s time to submit the

last of your volunteer hours. I will be compiling the data this week, but

you still have until the end of the year to submit hours. There are still

plenty of opportunities to get your hours in. We need all hands on deck

for the MOVE. Remember that CKS families are required to complete

50 volunteer hours (25 single parent) for the school year with 10 hours

dedicated to fundraising activities. Families will reimburse the school

at the rate of $15/hour for every volunteer hour not completed. Please

submit your hours at http://school.ckseattle.org/index.cfm?

load=page&page=271. Thank you for volunteering. It’s what makes

our school so special – having dedicated families contributing to the

CKS community.

PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

Jesus, Our Savior, please help anyone who is ill and in need of special

care especially Mrs. Rowe, Mrs. Lundquist, and Greg Norwine, we pray

the Lord.

Father in Heaven, who brings comfort and care to the parents who have

lost children and family members in the Oklahoma tornado and other cri-

sis around the world, we ask for this compassion, we pray to the Lord.

O’ Holy Spirit, who helps every CKS student as well as all students learn

and grow closer to you, we especially ask for safety, protection, and abil-

ity to learn at this time, we pray to the Lord.

CYO NEWS

Please return CYO uniforms

Parents: Please check your closets and return all CYO uni-

forms to the school office prior to June 7. Replacing lost and

non-returned uniforms is a significant and unnecessary cost

to the CYO program. Returning uniforms in a timely manner

helps us keep our registration fees down. Please email

cksathletics@gmail.com for more information.
