From
the Office:
Today, we begin
the month of October, the month dedicated to Mary, our
Lady of the Rosary. I encourage all
families to spend some time during this month to talk about Mary and pray the
rosary at least once each week. We have
the opportunity to join other families each Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in Church (91st
Street Church Entrance) during the month to pray together.

Gift Wrap Fund Raiser: On Tuesday, October 7th, our gift
wrap sale will end. Please turn in your
orders on or before this deadline. I
wish to thank anyone who has ordered from any of our students. You will still be able to order on-line until
the end of 2008. Thanks also to anyone
who ordered magazines from QSP. You can
order and renew at any time. Just be
sure to give credit to your child. I
received the first print out today. So
far 49 out of 235 families have reached their quota.
Walk Our Children to School Day: The Milwaukee Police Department, Milwaukee
Safety Commission, Southeast Wisconsin Safe Kids Coalition and Federal Express
are requesting that each school encourage parents to walk their children to
school on Wednesday, October 8, 2008.
I would like to
also encourage families to take this time to walk together to and from school
and discuss safe procedures while walking or riding bikes to school.
Hot
Lunch: Tired of making
lunches? The lunch survey results are
in, and beginning November 3rd, your mornings will be less
hectic! Christ King will begin offering
lunches through our new hot lunch program served by 4 P’s in a Pod. Due
to the fact that this is a new program, we will begin by serving lunches three
days per week and add on more days if you would like us to. The new program will replace the regular
Monday lunches. Please watch for order forms and more details on Oct. 6th
or 7th. Also, thank you to everyone who has
volunteered to help with this new program! If you would like to volunteer
and have not signed up yet, please contact Julie Gundersen
at jgundersen@wi.rr.com or
475-7208 or Ann Baker at anndann779@yahoo.com
at 453-5248.
Thank you so
much to our current Monday lunch chairs who have dedicated so much time and
energy to make Mondays a great way to start our week. Thanks to Shelly Harrington, Nancy Klippel, Terri Cera, Martha Horky and Eva Leonardelli!
Respect T – Shirt Order: Friday, October 3rd, is the final
deadline for “Respect” T-shirt orders.
It is your last opportunity to own this shirt, so please stop in at the
school office and pick up an order form.
The shirts will be delivered before our next “Respect Begins With Me” day on October 29th.

return them with the purple information sheet.
