Christ the King Catholic School

Field Day fun was in full swing today! ☀️ Our students enjoyed a beautiful day filled with games, laughter, teamwork, and lots of smiles. We were even lucky to have Father Rodrigo join in on the fun!

A big thank you to our Leadership Council for providing popsicles to help everyone cool off at the end of an amazing day. What a wonderful way to celebrate together as a school family! 🍧

Our students wrapped up the 3rd trimester with an exciting all-school PBIS reward today! 🎉

Students whose names were drawn earned the chance to silly string a staff member. The students had a blast while the staff members were great sports! 😂

Thank you to our students for being respectful, responsible, safe, and Christlike throughout the trimester. We are proud of the amazing culture we continue to build together at Christ the King! 💙

Today we celebrated one of our beautiful Catholic traditions—May Crowning—during our school Mass. 🌸

Our students honored the Blessed Virgin Mary with prayers, flowers, and song, crowning her as our Queen and Mother. It was a special moment of faith, reverence, and love, reminding us to follow Mary’s example of humility and trust in God.

Our 7th grade students brought history to life today with their Wax Museum projects! Each student researched and portrayed an influential figure who made a lasting impact on the world. From scientists and leaders to artists and innovators, their hard work, creativity, and presentation skills were on full display.

We are so proud of the effort they put into learning and sharing these inspiring stories. Thank you to everyone who came to support our students. It was a memorable experience for all!

Last week in Pre-K, our students explored the fascinating world of reptiles! 🐍 They learned what makes an animal a reptile—like having scales, laying eggs, and being cold-blooded. To bring their learning to life, they created their own patterned snakes, showing off both their creativity and growing understanding. We love seeing hands-on learning in action!

The 5th graders went to St. John's Cemetery in Cu***ng for their service project this year. The students cleaned the gravestones. They also picked up sticks and cleaned the grounds. The students were very engaged, worked hard, and learned some history. 🪦

A Message From Fr. Rodrigo

Our teachers spent part of their professional development day giving back at Meals From the Heartland ❤️

Together, they helped package over 50,000 meals to help fight hunger around the world. We are so proud of their servant hearts and commitment to making a difference—both in and out of the classroom!
