Jan. 27 was Family Literacy Day across the nation, and Christ-King Catholic School was no exception.
Students and staff alike dressed up as their favourite fairy tale character and participated in fun activities like charades, an obstacle course, crafts and even a door-decorating contest.
Prizes were handed out to individual students for displaying literacy skills, to classes for participating in the door decorating contest and to families for entering the draw.
Congratulations to all our winners!
