to help fill the Gap for their children.

The donations are fully tax deductible.

Parents giving at the Principal’s Circle

level of $2,000 and above will receive

an invitation to the Principal’s

Investing in a Catholic Education Reception in February.

Each gift to the school provides

critical funding for new academic

programs, technology, field trips,

curriculum, athletics, professional

development, and maintenance and

improvement of school facilities.

Fundraising dollars also help

control tuition increases, help maintain

attractive salaries for teachers,

and provide a contingency fund to

cover extraordinary expenses.

Christ the King Catholic School

offers heartfelt thanks to our generous

supporters who play a role in our

students’ formation.

The CKS Annual Fund, CKSPA

Auction, and other school fundraising

combine to help bridge the

Gap between tuition and the cost

to educate a child at Christ the

King Catholic School. Tuition covers

about 75% of the school operating

budget. The Parish invests $150,000

in the school, and the school

receives about $100,000 in income

from the Christ the King Catholic

School Endowment Trust Fund. The

remaining Gap is about $1,300 per

child.

The school asks each family to

give what they can to the Annual Fund
