Third Grade Gets a Lesson in Rosary Making
Mrs. Yarnold's CKS 3rd grade class got a visit from a member of the Rosary Makers last week. This special visitor (who is also a grandmother of one of the students) taught the class about the significance of this special parish ministry as well as how to make their own rosaries. All of the rosaries will be mailed overseas to two of their classmates' dads who are currently serving in the military.
  CKS Dads Club Lunch On Friday, October 23, CKS dads joined their children for a hot dog lunch in the pavilion.

With an unwavering presence and a spirit of generosity, the Dads Club lunch is another example of how CKS parents continue to make a lasting impact on Christ the King Catholic School throughout its 60 year history.

Salesian sisters, priests and brothers have had a long history in Tampa Bay and the Diocese of St. Petersburg, running Villa Madonna School, St. Joseph Catholic School, Mary Help of Christians, and St. Petersburg Catholic High School in addition to their 30 years of service at CKS. As a way to celebrate the Salesian character of these schools, for the past five years CKS has joined with Villa Madonna and St. Joseph for a Salesian Youth Rally. On September 25, over 800 young people including CKS 3rd through 8th graders celebrated the spirit of St. John Bosco through prayer, fellowship and fun at the rally.

On Friday, August 28, CKS 8th graders gave their time and talents in service to five different Tampa area outreach organizations. In the spirit of St. John Bosco, and under the protection of Mary Help of Christians, the 54 students assisted at Faith Café; America's Second Harvest; Arden Courts of Tampa; The Children's Cancer Center; and, Pregnancy Plus Medical.
 
Arden Courts Program Services Coordinator raved about our students, "We had a great time today with the students - the residents were talking about it during lunch. The students were very respectful, caring, and pleasant. I wanted to thank everyone again from the bottom of my heart for really showing the residents how important they are. They did represent their school with pride ...Cheers to you CHRIST THE KING!" Helping others is a recurrent theme in many of our school programs and special events. Special thanks to parents Dorothy Alfonso and Ellen Hochschwender for organizing such enriching activities, which help deepen our students' awareness of and compassion for those in need.
