ONLINE AUCTION - New this year: Theme baskets!
As we start to think of Spring, our school community is gearing up for one of our biggest fundraisers of the year- the Silent Auction! During the “Covid Years” we have moved to an online auction format and will continue that way for Auction 2022.
This year, we are looking to create theme baskets for bidding. You will find a link to a google doc with 12 different basket themes below where you can sign up to bring either items listed or add your own item ideas- We welcome your creativity!
Please turn in all basket items to the front office (marked with the basket theme) by 3/31. Baskets will be put together, photographed and added to the auction in April.
A link to the basket themes can be found HERE.
We also welcome your donation of gift cards to area businesses. If you would like to support your favorite local business AND support CKS at the same time consider purchasing a gift card and donating it to the auction.
Got a question about gift cards? Reach out to Jon at jhughes@cksvt.org
If you have any questions about this event, please reach out to us at cks-pto@cksvt.org!
Teacher Feature: Mrs.Meghan Cade, Religious Education
Who or what inspired you to become an educator?
I began teaching Religious Education for our parish community when I moved to Vermont in 2013. I found joy in teaching that I had never felt before in any other job--God made clear His vocation for me. In addition, my mother is a retired educator. When it comes to teaching, the apple didn't fall far from our family tree!
How many years have you taught? How many years at CKS?
I am in my ninth year as an educator. I have been at CKS for two years--the first as a substitute and this year as a faculty member.
What is one word to describe CKS?
Family
What is your favorite subject to teach?
My favorite lessons are teaching about the lives of the saints.
What aspect of CKS do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy seeing how creative our students get with their assignments. The way they illustrate God's love for us and their love for God makes my own faith stronger.
What have you learned from your colleagues and students over the years?
If you're enthusiastic about your lesson, your students will be too! Also, learning with food always makes a lesson more memorable.
What hobbies or interests do you have that students & parents may not know about?
Everyone knows that I'm a huge Disney fan and pirate enthusiast. But what you may not know is how much I love to travel. I've been to Ireland, Japan, Mexico, The Caribbean, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and 48 out of 50 states. One of my favorite things is tasting new food when I'm traveling and then figuring out how to make it myself when I get home!
What would you like for parents to know about your program/grade level?
I'd like parents to know that my first priority when it comes to teaching religion is forging a relationship with God. Everything else I teach is rooted in that love between God and us. When my students treat each other in a reflection of that divine love, they fill my heart and I know they have learned.
