We are thrilled to share some wonderful news with our school community!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our families, teachers, supporters, and corporate donations, we have surpassed our fundraising goal to continue using the Reading Mastery curriculum. Our goal was $30,000, and together we raised an amazing $39,200!

Your support will fund the new textbooks and teacher manuals ($32,577) and teacher training ($7,000). Because of this, K-2 students will start next year with the full Reading Mastery program and teachers ready to implement it effectively.

This achievement is a testament to the strength of our community and the shared commitment to providing our students with high-quality learning resources. Reading Mastery plays a vital role in building strong literacy skills for our students, and your support ensures we can continue offering this impactful curriculum.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered or participated in fundraising efforts, or helped solicit donations, as well as to the corporations and community partners who generously provided funds and items for our silent auction. Your support makes a meaningful difference for our students every day.

While we are celebrating this milestone, we also want to remind families that ongoing fundraising is essential to support curriculum and educational resources for our K–8 students each year. Your continued partnership helps us maintain and strengthen the academic programs that make our school so special. Please remember the CKCS Parents Night Out Event - Gymfinity Gymnastics event on April 25 is currently accepting registrations for kids ages 4-12. We are already halfway to the capacity of 70 students. The link to register is located in the comments.

Thank you again for your generosity, encouragement, and commitment to our students.
