Christ the King -

🎄🎶 Continuing to rejoicing in the sounds of the season at Christ the King Elementary.
We celebrated with a PS–6th grade Christmas Sing-Along featuring Mr. & Mrs. Claus, a beautiful Orchestra & Band Christmas Concert, and our Preschool Christmas Program. Through music, our students shared joy, faith, and the message of Christmas with our school community. ✨ Great job everyone!

Attendance Matters: Serving Your Parish 💙🤲

When students are present, faith comes alive. Through regular attendance, our students learn that love is meant to be lived—by serving others and sharing the gifts God has given them.

From classrooms to parish life, we are forming hearts that understand faith isn’t just learned, it’s practiced. Thank you for partnering with us to help our students put love into action through service. ✨🙏

Our elementary students filled the church with music, smiles, and holiday cheer during today’s Christmas program. From cheerful songs to heartfelt performances, their hard work truly shined. Thank you to our talented students, dedicated teachers, and supportive families for making this festive program so special. A special thank you to Mr. Humke for his dedication to CTK & the students!

Wishing everyone a warm and wonderful holiday season! 🎄✨

Mrs. Oleson spent some time with students reading a Christmas book and making special ornaments for Christ the King parishioners this week. The students, and staff, always enjoy when she comes into the classrooms to do special projects.

The PES sisters visited both Kindergarten & 1st grade classrooms today! With the kindergarteners they talked about how Jesus is the best gift they will receive this Christmas! They also talked about how they can care for Jesus like Mary did and how to always say "yes" to Jesus, like Mary said "yes" to being the mother of God.
With the first graders they talked about the wedding feast of Cana and how Mary teaches us to always do what Jesus tells us. Then the students made flowers for Mary and did a beautiful procession to the chapel.

"By supporting teacher salary endowments, donors are making a direct investment in the education and faith formation of young people - a noble and lasting contribution. These gifts allow teachers like me to continue serving our students wholeheartedly, and I believe donors share in the spiritual fruits of that mission " - Carly Ahrens, English Teacher, O'Gorman High School

🎁 December’s Virtue: Generosity 🎁
This month, our Bishop O’Gorman Catholic Schools community is focusing on generosity—the joyful willingness to give of ourselves for the good of others.

During this season of giving, our students are reminded that generosity isn’t just about gifts—it’s about sharing our time, our talents, our prayers, and our hearts. Whether it’s helping a classmate, serving our parish, or supporting someone in need, every act of generosity reflects Christ’s love.

✨ “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” – Acts 20:35
