Principal’s Newsletter
March 10, 2010
Dear Parents,
You will note that in today’s folder there is a letter introducing a new fundraising initiative, “Race for Education” for our school. I am hopeful and am encouraging 100% participation. I would ask that you take the time to read the letter and the Fact Sheet so that you can better understand this new project. Packets will go home with your child next week.
Thank you in advance for your continued support of our efforts to provide a quality Catholic education to all families who are seeking this for their family.
Peace,
Carol H. Wincowski, Principal

CKS Committee has been organizing a Student Ambassador Program for the 2010-2011 school year. The program is being designed to support the integration of new students at CKS, as well as to assist students who may be shadowing our school for the day. An ambassador may also be trained to give school tours to visitors during scheduled Open Houses or drop-in visits. Your child will soon be bringing home a description of the program along with an application form to fill out if he/she is interested in being a candidate for student ambassador. If you would like more information about this program, please call or stop by the office for a description and application form.
