CHRIST-KING CHRONICLE

Christ-King had a wonderful start to February. With it being ‘Heart Month,’ Christ-King is gearing up for their Jump Rope for Heart day on Feb. 27, in order to raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Two members representing Jump Rope came to CKCS on Feb. 3, to present to the student body what Jump Rope was all about. Through the presentation, students learned many healthy tips on how to keep our hearts healthy. Students were also included in the presentation, and were taught different skipping techniques. All of CKCS is pumped up for Jump Rope for Heart and reaching our goal of $1500 should be no problem.

The Christ-King Chargers travelled to Big Valley on Feb. 4 to face off against the Bulldogs. Both girls and boys teams played very hard, but conceded both games. Both teams look forward to their next match on Feb. 11, when they have a home game against the Erskine Extremes.

The Charger boys travelled to Coronation on Feb. 7 for a tournament. They played Coronation as well as Theresetta. Despite their best efforts, the boys conceded both games. Good job to all players and a big thank you to parent drivers and Coach Matt.

Intramurals have been going well. Each house team has a chance to play once a week during lunch recess. The primary grades have been focusing on tag games, while the junior grades have been focused on basketball. Every student from grade 4-6 is looking forward to the final basketball tournament. Junior high students have been doing a wonderful job of coaching, refereeing, and score keeping.

On Feb. 6, CKCS Spirit Squad hosted “Dress like a teacher” day. Students were invited to wear their best teacher outfit, or to pick a teacher in the school and dress like them. It was a great success, with many ‘mini-teachers’ filling the halls and classrooms. A student even came dressed as the school’s custodian Mr. Derr. The day was a major success, and students had lots of fun.

This week, CKCS looks forward to participating in Random Acts of Kindness, as well as celebrating Valentine’s Day. Stay tuned Stettler.
