Chatter for the Week of April 9 Link

Ride Band Pre-Order Form

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. It’s so hard to believe that we are in countdown mode – that’s right, only 35 days left of the school year! Anyway, we have lots of things coming up, so here goes.

The CTK Fair is literally “right around the corner” and the Fair Committee needs your help in many ways. Our Fair is only as successful as we make it, so now it’s time to sign up to work at the booths at the Fair. Sign up now for your child’s homeroom booth. Thanks to all who have already signed up. The link is:  www.signupgenius.com/tabs/23672D800A0C2E5CF9-christ

Congratulations to 7T – all spots have been filled by parents for the Dunking Booth during the Fair. Room Captains will be contacting parents in remaining homerooms who have not signed up to volunteer, so please help by going online NOW and signing up.

Items from KB for the Fair are a plate for the Silent Auction and a Rocking Chair for the Live Auction – immediately following the class performance on Saturday, April 21, 2018, at 3:55 p.m. Make sure you come out to see the performance and bid on the Rocking Chair. I can’t wait!

Remember that students are allowed to wear the Fair t-shirts every Friday until the Fair.

Please make note that again this Friday – students who bring in a dozen eggs can wear any socks. Students who bring in two dozen eggs can wear any socks and any tennis shoes! Help out the Fair Committee by sending in those eggs. However, we will no longer accept regular eggs. The eggs must be cracked and emptied. (Feel free to clean the eggs out if you have
time.)

Keep selling those Fair raffle tickets! The Lagniappe Pulls are continuing on the Fridays before the Fair. The winner of the public drawing held on Friday, March 30, 2018, was Tu Tran. The next student drawing will be Thursday, April 19, 2018.

If you haven’t sent in your items for the Country Store, please do so asap. Also, attached you will find the Ride Band Pre-Order Form. This is an easy way to get those ride bands prior to the Fair so that you will not have to stand in line.

IMPORTANT: BEGINNING TODAY, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 2018 (OUR FIRST DAY BACK AFTER EASTER BREAK) , ALL 5TH, 6TH, AND 7TH ACE AND ARETE SCHOLARS WILL TAKE THE COMPUTER BASED LEAP TEST. THESE TESTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THEIR SCHOLARSHIPS AND WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO MAKE-UP TESTING. PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT THESE STUDENTS ARE NOT ABSENT OR TARDY. PARENTS AND STUDENTS RECEIVED A TESTING SCHEDULE PRIOR TO THE BREAK!

REMINDER: Students are not allowed to have cell phones on them at school. Also, parents may not be on a cell phone during morning or afternoon carpool. Don’t forget that it is against the law to be on a cell phone around a school in a school zone. Please adhere to these rules – they are in
place to keep your child(ren) safe.

The 7th grade students put on a beautiful performance of the Passion Play before we left for Easter break and we were so proud of them.
