Hello
from PTO!
One of
my favorite quotes from the bible is “I can do all things through Christ the Lord who strengthens me”. My
oldest child quickly reminds me that it came from Philippians 4:13. He knows that because he has had the benefit of
catholic education at CKCS and is now a sophomore at McGill-Toolen. I didn’t attend catholic schools but I have
learned some good stuff along the way through bible study and listening to others. I quote that phrase because
it inspires me. It gives me the confidence needed when faced with challenges or new experiences. This year
as we approached the 60th Anniversary CKCS extravaganza weekend, as I like to call it, I again relied on the truth
of those words and knew they would apply to everyone carrying it off.
Many years ago the Pumpkin Festival
was in fact a weekend long event but over time, it was streamlined into a single afternoon. This year, in celebration
of our 60 years, we had big ideas and because many believe the same as I do, that all things are possible, it was carried
off triumphantly! It’s a wonderful thing to see so many work so hard for such a great cause in the
name of God. I think Grandparents day was terrific and a wonderful way to share our children’s school with extended
family. The Kings Supper, even though in competition with many other events was indeed a success! The food, decorations,
auction items and entertainment were nothing less than perfect. And finally, the Pumpkin Festival, as always,
provided great Sunday afternoon fun with our friends and family. What initially seemed like a challenging mountain
to climb turned out to be just another challenge we met together. You should be proud of your great efforts because they will
benefit our school in a very positive way. Thank you so much for helping make a great tribute to 60 years of CKCS.
Truly all things can be done through Him.
