Christ-King Chronicle
Christ-King staff and students are excited to be back at school. The first week back was very busy with new events, some new faces being welcomed back to our school. All students are back into routine, full of New Year’s resolutions.
With the New Year, we welcomed back Mrs. Erin Barnes. Returning from her maternity leave, she has joined our Grade 2 team. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful teacher returning. Welcome back Mrs. Barnes! Miss Keessar will be continuing her position, as the Grade 3 teacher in the afternoons. We are so excited to have her continued presence in the school.
Christ-King’s official first game of basketball was on Wednesday, Jan. 7. Both the boys’ and girls’ team played against Stettler Middle School. Despite their best efforts, both teams conceded to the opposing team. A big thank you to both Mrs. Gulak, and Coach Matt for both their coaching and referring skills. Both teams look forward to their next game on Wednesday, Jan. 14 against the Erskine Extremes.
Dance Party Friday took place on Jan. 9, providing some entertainment and exercise during the cold weather. All students travelled down to the gym for some dancing and fun. Spirit Squad introduced a new song, and even invited two Grade 3 students, Kaylee Bogner and Pearl Bansal to help lead the steps.
Magical Munsch will be coming to Christ-King on Jan. 28. Based on six of the author’s stories, the presentation will include puppets, and lots of student interaction. Everyone is looking forward to the performance. In preparation, all students have participated in creating a Munsch bulletin board in the foyer. The junior-high drama class has also begun preparing their own plays of a Robert Munsch story. A big thank you to parent council for this opportunity.
Christ-King’s second junior-high dance will be taking place on Jan. 29. It will be a Much Music dance, where Much Music is coming to the school to set up a huge screen in the gym. Music videos will be played along with the songs. The dance will be from 7-10 p.m. Tickets are $10 each. All students in grades 6 to 9 are invited. Students must sign up with their own school, and return their orders to Christ-King by Jan. 26. Please call CKCS if you have any questions.
