We held our 2nd Annual Summer Blast Carnival last Thursday, June 10 from 11 am to 8 pm at CtK.
The event for all intents and purposes was very successful. This in combination with Ford's "Drive One 4 Ur School" Campaign raised over $10,000 for the CtK Cares Foundation.
What was most impressive was the synergy that developed between key staff members and our student leaders in the planning, organizing and implementation of this initiative. Once again, when given the opportunity, our staff outperformed last year's efforts.
Our student leaders from Student Council and the Prefects in particular proved that they could excel at a level that exceeded our school's high expectations. This came to fruition not just in the evolution of the planning but in the way they deported themselves with the many families that attended Summer Blast between 4 pm and 8 pm. They were respectful, helpful and very interactive with the children which to me was more impactful than any amount of money we raised.
Our students were excellent role models and ambassador's for our Catholic Learning Community. Their efforts undoubtedly left indelible positive memories in the minds of the children of which they engaged.
I can't think of a better way to inspire our future CtK students.
On behalf of CtK, I would like to thank the families that supported Summer Blast! See you again next year.
Thanks for reading. Looking forward to your comments.
It was sooo much fun!!:)
ReplyDeleteit is sad that ctk is becoming a cheap advertising go to school for big companies. I mean come on, 10 000 dollars is nothing, ford basically needed a place to advertise their product, and what cheaper way then a highschool where all the kids think its "cool" to drive mustangs and what not. Very dissapointed in the schools decision on this one.
