The Crusader Weekly Believe. Think. Serve. Christ the King Catholic High School ctkcommunication@ctkchs.net February 18, 2017 Greetings, Crusader Families and Friends: We had a busy week at CTK, but the highlight for most of us came within the last hour of the school week. We had a fun pep rally (see p. 2) to celebrate all of the CTK sports teams and their accomplishments this year. We especially wanted to have a big send-off for the CTK swim team, which will compete at the state championship on Monday. As Coach Donahue would say, Go, Blue! Please find important information for upcoming events in this week s newsletter, including Monday s athletic tryouts, ACT testing for juniors, and service opportunities. Always in Christ our King, -Michael Smith, Interim Principal
Celebration of Crusader Athletics As part of the pep rally fun, the different classes took on one another in friendly basketball games. The seniors beat out all of the other grades, but they fell short to the unstoppable CTK Faculty. Coach Harrington led in scoring, and Mr. Brawley led in blocks. It was a fun time for all. Maybe the students can make a comeback at the next showing!

Catholic News By: Amanda Hoffman Weekly Quote Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. ~Mother Teresa What can Love mean for our Community? The word love has a simple definition that is not difficult to understand. Catholic tradition tells us, quite simply, that love is a tendency toward the real. As St. Francis puts it in his Treatise on the Love of God "Love is the movement, effusion, and advancement of the heart toward the good." The meaning of love is simple enough but we should be artful when it comes to loving and cautious when it comes to recognizing that we are loved. We all need to love and to be loved, we should love our community and each other as a whole. http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/culture/catholic-contributions/the-meaning-of-love.html Upcoming Holy Days Date Holiday name Is It obligatory in 2016?
