Volunteers provide donations to help our community with special needs during the holiday season.

InvestED provides funding that supports the efforts of secondary schools throughout Washington state. We partner with 660 schools and assist 25,245 students with small amounts of short-term, item-specific, need-based funding – items such as shoes, coats, glasses, sports equipment, and academic fees.

Our mission is to provide immediate help for students in need. Our goal is to encourage students to stay in school, return to school, or get involved within their learning community.

We are excited to bring you an opportunity to be involved directly with the students in a new program called “Parent Presence”. There are times during the three lunches (10:45 – 12:10) Mon-Thursday and (10:00-11:10) on Fridays where there simply are not enough staff members available to be able to supervise the students outside and in the available gyms. The result is a full common room and library and kids with pent up energy that would like to be outside or expending it in the gym playing games. Parent Presence will ensure that the students have options on where they spend their lunch “recess”. There will be a training meeting in November once all the volunteers are in place, and then teams of 2 parents each day will check in with the office for their location assignment, and be issued walkie-talkies. They will then be the supervision and adult presence in that area (outside, gyms or Commons).

Help Organize students as they have their school photos taken for ASB cards and to take home.

Hawk-A-Thon (HAT) is a fun and very important fundraising event for both ASB and PTSA. Students participate in a noncompetitive, relay-style event that promotes physical fitness and school spirit. They ask family and friends to sponsor them. After minimal expenses, all proceeds stay at CKMS to benefit the students (no funds need to be shared with an outside fundraising company). HAT replaces the Magazine Drive of years past as ASB’s major fundraiser. CLICK HERE for more information.

The PTSA sells high quality t-shirts and sweatshirts with CKMS colors and logo. Students and parents can purchase these items at the beginning of the school year. The purpose of the PTSA selling spiritwear is to provide students with a way to show their school spirit through Hawk attire. A minimal amount per item goes back to PTSA for every item sold.

Update and maintain the website. Questions, contact Karen Nieman.

The CKMS Newsletter goes out weekly by CKMS. The purpose of the weekly newsletter is to provide parents and staff with information on CKMS News and PTSA events and activities.
