Dear Parents & CTK Supporters,

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your faithful prayers and support for Christ the King Cathedral School and its faculty, staff and students during this school year.  A special thanks to all of our parents who worked so diligently with the Home and School Association in their efforts to support the many needs of our school.  It takes great leadership to accomplish all that HSA did this year.  Special thanks to Patty Shipton for her amazing leadership and great organization as HSA president.  We are truly blessed by her talent and look forward to the 2008-2009 school year when she will assume the leadership role for another year.
As summer quickly approaches, it is my hope that you will enjoy rest, spend time together as family and return to the 2008-2009 school year refreshed and renewed.  We will still be in need of continued prayers during the summer break.  We celebrate Pentecost this Sunday, May 11. May these days remind us that we serve a mighty God–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–who hears and answers the prayers that we bring to Him.  

Many Blessings to you and your family!                       

  Christine Wanjura

 Please keep 8th graders, seniors, and their sponsors in your prayers as they attend their class trips today (8th grade) and next week (seniors).

Are You Planning to
Buy a New TV?
With the coming transition to digital signals for television next February, some of you might be buying a new digital television in the near future.  If so and your current analog television has a S-video connection, please consider donating your old television to the school.  These older sets can be used as video monitors with computers in the classrooms so that students can see computer applications more easily.
