Christ the King Lutheran School is into another year of providing
quality, Christ-centered education to students throughout the Memphis
region. Over the coming months, the students and staff will share many
opportunities to grow academically and spiritually while being equipped
to serve those in our community and beyond. I ask that you join me in
praying for this school year and the ongoing ministry of Christ the King
Lutheran School.
As principal at Christ the King, I often think about the expenses and
costs associated with operating an excellent early childhood and
elementary school that teaches Christian values. I thank God for the
generous number of supporters in our church and community who have
helped this ministry to continue to provide for the needs of families
who send their children here. You can change the course of history for
our 260 students with just one gift. God has truly blessed our school!
I ask that you consider financially supporting our Annual Fund. The
Annual Fund is targeting two major areas this year. First, we hope to
acquire twenty-five technology tablets - enough for a whole class to use
at one time - for literature, science, history, math, and religion.
These tablets will allow students to read books online, take notes and
edit documents, and research many wonderful educational sites on the
internet. Estimated cost for the tablets is in the $10,000-15,000 range.
Second, we desire to provide cabinetry, cupboards, and counter tops for
our classrooms. When the classrooms were constructed years ago, each
room had nothing more than four cinder block walls, floor tile, and
lighting. To better equip our teachers to serve the children and to
provide a fresh, updated, and uniformed look to our facilities, new
storage areas are necessary in the classrooms. Estimated cost for this
project is $15,000-20,000.
I ask that you prayerfully consider partnering with us by participating
in this year's Fund Drive with a tax-deductible donation, whether it be
$50, $100, $250, or significantly more. However you give - whatever you
can do - will mean so much to the students, faculty, and very future of
Christ the King Lutheran School. Check for matching fund opportunities
through your employer as well.
Join me as we continue the great educational program here at Christ the
King and raise additional funds for this generation of students and our
future.
For the children,
Thomas W. Geyer
Principal
