Congratulations to the Class of 2016
By Emily Capper
The year has come to a close and this year’s graduate have
to say farewell. I have had the privilege to interview some
special eighth graders as they reflect on
their time here at CK.
Lauren Lancaster has some very fond
memories and she expressed her love for
Christ King, “I will always remember
Christ King as a place that will always
feel like home to me. The one thing I
will remember most about CK is [that I
always had a blast with everyone, in
every grade, mostly at recess]. It is fun
to know that I could talk to anyone.
They all felt like family. CK is a place that I will never forget.
Sam Capper will remember that all of the teachers,
“always pushed us to be our best.”
Georgia Barczak will always value her time playing CK
sports. “Christ King athletics have taught me how to play
any sport with a strong sense of sportsmanship and to remember that I am representing my school. Through athletics
at CK, each and every player grew in their relationship with
God as teams often went to prayer in
times of difficulty. I will always remember everything I learned athletically at
Christ King because
it's the base of where
I am in sports, and
where I will be eventually.
We would also like to congratulate
this year’s award winners.
Paige
Drezek and Jack Novotny have been
awarded the Spirit of Christ King Award for their spirituality, service, and Christian attitudes. Anna Klempay and
James Pfaff have earned the coveted Dr. Cary Award for
their sportsmanship and dedication. Finally, Anna Klempay
and Mika Chang were recently honored as this year’s Rotary
Club Scholars.
Everyone at Christ King School has been impacted by this
amazing class and we wish them the best of luck in the future!

VIP Tradition Continues
By Tate Czajkowski
April 21 was no ordinary day
at Christ King. Instead of just
students some very important
people came to school. From
aunts to uncles to parents and
even grandparents. This day was
a great time for both the students
and our VIPs.
It all started with a great mass
with our VIPs. What a great way
to practice our Catholic religion
with our VIPs.
After mass,
there were many things for the
students and VIPs to experience.

And the Winner is...
By Antonio Zilvetti
Battle of the Books is specifically designed to
encourage the love of reading and create a bit of
friendly competition between schools. I’ve been
updating you about Christ King’s involvement in
this year’s program throughout the year which has
come to a close. All the teams did well at the city
battle. I know they did their best and tried their
hardest. Even though Christ King didn't place in the
top three, we still did very well. Congrats to all of
the teams that made it to the city-wide competition. They all did a fantastic job.
Christ King School participates in the elementary division that is open to 4th through 6th
graders that read the nominated books for the
Golden Archer, the Newbery, Pintz, and
Siebert awards to name a few. The new list of
books is out, so get into your teams and start reading. Now is the time to decide if you are going to
take part in Battle of the Books and be ahead of the
competition.
Summer is the best time to read as many books
as you can and start becoming familiar with the
titles and their authors. This is important because it
can help you earn an easy three points. Questions
take the format of identifying which events happened in which book. Please check out the list and
on your mark, get ready, set, read!

VIP Day at CK… continued from page 1
Most classes had an activity to do with their VIPs and
all of our students made a beautiful card for their VIP. The
VIPs were also treated
to some snacks and coffee in the North Hall.
This was a nice break for
the students and a great
time to learn more
about our great school.
The students could show
VIPs their room, their
desk, and have them
meet their teachers. Lots
of the students’ art is
also displayed throughout many parts of the
school for the VIPs to
see. Many students enjoy this day as well as the VIPs
themselves.
This is a very unique day at Christ King or even just in
general. It isn’t something too many schools do once a
year. It really brings the
student and the VIP closer
to each other. They get to
bond in a less mainstream
way by the student showing the VIP around the
school and showing them
their art and other interesting things they have been doing. Even though it may be
different it creates a great experience everyone and has
always been something to look forward to. As seen in the
picture of North Hall there were many VIPs and students
present.
This year’s VIP day has been a
great success. We had many
attendees as you can see in the
picture. We are looking forward to next year’s VIP day. I
hope you enjoy your summer
and spend some more great
time with your VIP!
7th Graders Build a Sound Financial Future
By Luke Wirostko
This April the seventh grade class had an exhilarating
experience at the JA Finance Park. Junior Achievement
provides students with the opportunity to build a knowledge base that will hopefully help them make sound financial decisions in the future in regard to saving, sound expenditures, solid credit, and well invested income.
Our studies in finance on this day included budgeting
and money management, important lesson that we will
need later in life. After a series of classroom lessons our
knowledge was put to the test with financial simulations
and after experiencing JA Biztown in fourth grade, the
expectations were high!
Upon arriving we were told that we would be given a job
and given a “life”. It sounded just as cool as Biztown. As
we arrived we were put into groups. We were given
shops to manage. It is really hard to create a different life
for everyone, technology determined our individual situations. Using individual tablets, we inserted information
for what type of job we wanted and our interests, which
we had previously determined in the classroom. We were
then given a job and a salary.
We were constantly reading about different things
in the finance world and other information that extended our classroom learning. The most useful part
of the entire experience was when we went shopping. We were given a salary with certain amount of
money, just as in real life. We had to budget our
money to obtain everything we needed for our “JA
life”.
It was a fantastic learning experience, and everyone enjoyed the process. The seventh grade has gain a
lot of knowledge about the finance world.

The Joy of Discovery
World Youth Day Article
By Emma Lipski
Discovery Day was May 6th, 2016. The Milwaukee Flyers
kicked off the day with a gymnastics show. They performed
flips and jumps that captured everyone's attention. After the
kickoff, students attended their sessions.
Each student attended four
different classes. There were lots
of fun sessions to pick from.
Wheelchair sports, grill masters,
paper filigree, cookie baking,
rocketry, rugby, and Zumba
were some of the sessions that
were offered. I participated in
candy creations, field hockey, tie dye, and wheelchair sports.
My favorite session was wheelchair sports. I learned how to
play basketball while in a wheelchair. It was so much fun.
I would highly recommend it to other schools. I will definitely sign up for it again next year and hope to see you all
there for a day of fun and adventure. Everyone seemed to
enjoy participating in different classes and discovering new
interests during Discovery Day. I can’t wait until next year’s
Discovery Day!
by Kaylee Pikula
World Youth Day is coming up quickly, so I
think it’s time to learn some more about it. First
of all, what is World Youth Day? It is an event
scheduled every three years and first established
by Pope John Paul II to help young adults know
more about Jesus. He said, “When, back in 1985,
I wanted to start the World Youth Days… I imagined a powerful moment in which the young people of the world could meet Christ, who is eternally young, and could learn from him how to be
bearers of the Gospel to other young people.” Pope John Paul II established World Youth
Day in 1985 to increase the world’s knowledge in
State Forensics Meet - Tough to Beat
By Tyler Chang
Forensics is a great way to have fun with friends and classmates as well as others students from area schools and from
around the state. It is a great way to build life skills and a fun
way to publicly speak. This year, the state forensics meet was
held at Neenah High School, in Neenah, Wisconsin. It was
held on April 9th 2016.
The entire Christ King team qualified and that’s quite a
feat for the first timers! This year there was an outstanding
1,900 entries in the state forensics meet. Tate, a forensics
first timer, says, “It was really fun, and there were a lot of
people”. Five entries on the team made it into the next round
or “power round”. All the entries that were in the power
Jesus Christ, but mainly in the teenagers who are
glued to their phones knowing nothing about the
outside world.
It is held in various locations worldwide, such as
Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1987, Denver, Colorado in the U.S.A. in 1993, and Madrid, Spain in
2011. I will be attending this year’s occasion in
Krakow, Poland July 25th through July 31st.
World Youth Day is celebrated to promote the
love and growth of Jesus Christ, especially in
young minds and I know this will make a profound
difference for me and my family. Look for my
follow up article in the fall/winter addition of the
CKN.
Staff Editorial by Aidan Reno
round were able to place in first, second, or third place.
Graduate Haley Bachar was awarded first place. In second
place were Marie Webb, graduates Mika Chang and Joseph
Janisch, and 7th graders Paul Koehler and Jack Doucette.
Lizzie Nelson finished the wins in third place. Our assistant
forensics coach is Mrs. Chang, a forensics assistant coach believes that, “Forensics is a great way to build life skills, and it
is a fun way to express yourself. The state forensics meet
ended, like every other meet, with a dance. It was a good
way for kids to get out, and have fun”.
Overall, forensics is an awesome way to meet new people, and practice speaking. There is always a welcome spot on
the team for anyone to join.
The One and Done Controversy
Many people think that people who get a
scholarship should stay at that college for all four
years of their collegiate career;, yet some people
still leave in their freshman or sophomore season
of college. I see why they left; however, I also see
why people get mad.
They are mad because they just paid them
40,000 dollars to come to their school and then
they leave after 1 or 2 years. The people leave
because they want to play at a higher level and get
paid money.
I feel that people should stay all four years because what are they going to do if they get hurt or
when they retire. They need a collegiate education
to prepare for after their careers in sports have
ended.
What 6th Grade is Really Like
By: Carys Abbott and Gisele Glunz
Change is expected when you enter middle school. We
have gone through it already and want to help the newcomers
with information that we wanted to know before we stepped
foot into each classroom. We want to help 5th graders succeed in middle school.
Nick Hartshorn says, “Bring your supplies.” Remember
your art supplies, your books, and everything you need for
your classes. This is important to remember also when it
comes to always being on task. Once you step foot in the first
classroom pull out all the materials you need, and always have
extra materials ready to [use].
“Be a good Catholic. Pray every day,” says Marie Webb.
Our faith is the foundation for this school. Pay attention in
Church, because faith is why we go to this school. Religion is
the most important class in our
day, and we
need to pay
attention in this
class, so we can
follow the footsteps God created for us.
William Hemauer
says,
“Don’t talk in
class.” To do well in a class, do not talk. You might miss
something important. You also need to always know what is
going on so that if it is on the test you are prepared.
“It’s hard at first, but once you get into the rhythm of
things, sixth grade is fantastic.” says Lynden Glunz. Sixth
grade may seem tough, but it will become easier and easier
for you. When you first step through the doors to middle
school, you are nervous yet excited. Then you start class and
you realize that it is not that hard after all. If you follow the
instructions and the basics then you will be fine. You also
have to write down all the things you have to do when you
are assigned them. After a days of talking about lots of different things in your classes, you may forget. This will lead to
working on assignments or studying for it the night before a
test or an assignment is due. You really have to plan out what
you are going to do for homework, so you will never forget
to do things. When you don’t forget to do things, then you
get better grades. When you get better grades, middle
school will come easier to you.
Mara deGuzman says, “Always take all the notes in class
and never forget to write down anything.” This will help you
a long way! When there are tests the notes will help you
study. Most of the time the teachers base their tests off of the
notes and worksheets we do in class or for homework. The
notes will also help you retain the facts. When you write
down the notes it is proven that it helps you remember the
facts most of the time. Shortening your notes by deleting
words like “the” and “a”, saves time. Remember that if you
write one extra sentence it could make your grade
go up by 5%.
In middle school, you do not have spelling class,
but spelling counts in every class. Read over what
you have written on a test or a homework assignment to make sure it makes sense. Check the grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling of
your sentences. This is part of every class and the
teachers refer to this as our 3PSG.
The guidelines are posted in every class for you
check if your work is on par.
The most important thing to being successful in
6th grade and all through middle school is stay organized. An accordion
folder is not required for middle school, but it is
very helpful place to keep your papers. Do not keep
your papers in a textbook where they could fall out
and get thrown away. If you don’t have an accordion
folder or a binder to keep organized, it will take a
while to find an assignment, if you can find it at all!
You should also organize your desk and locker, so
that you don’t have to search for loose papers before
a class.
Sixth grade is hard, but have fun and enjoy your
last years at Christ King. If you use this advice, you
will be fine in sixth grade.
Coming to 7th Grade
By Olivia Bouchard
Welcome to your second year of middle school!
This year won’t be much different than 6th grade.
The biggest difference that I found was a lot more
homework. In 6th grade I didn’t study until the
night before, but this year I started studying at least
two nights in advance. That is also some of the big-
gest advice I could give. Don’t wait to study until
the night before. Good study habits for high school
and college are not being built where the tests will
be much harder.
The specific classes that got harder for me were
Literature and Science. Literature got a little bit
harder because there were not as many corrections
allowed. That meant that the assignments took me
longer the first time.
Science got harder because the science notes go
much more quickly.
You have nothing to worry about in 7th grade as
long as you meet your teachers’ expectations!
On the Ball - The CK Sports Beat
Track Article –
Winner Is…
By Kaylee Pikula and Tessa Kowalski
This track season is getting better by the minute!
The St. Joseph, Christ King, and Wauwatosa Catholic
track teams are almost setting the track on fire!
Christ King has over 35 students involved with a total
of about 90 students with all three schools combined.
We compete in at least four meets throughout the
season beginning in April and events include the 50M
Dash, the One Mile Run, along with field events that
range from Long Jump, High Jump, Shot Put, and
Discus, as well as Softball throw. Some meets begin
on Friday evening and we often go throughout the day
on Saturdays.
With Coach David Gilmore as a head coach, Christ
King’s track team participants are getting faster and
faster with each practice. Our team has worked so
hard to accomplish victories in our meets. Like seventh
grade girl’s coach Cynthia Lessila always says, “It doesn’t matter if you lose a race. All that matters is if you
try your best.”
The track participants come to Brookfield East High
School every Tuesday and Thursday evening to practice their skills and learn new tips from their coaches.
Meets are on Friday nights and all day on Saturdays,
and they have countless activities to do. These include
relays, shot put, discus, long jump, high jump, softball
throw, and open races. The participants range from
fifth grade to eighth grade. The coaches have put many
hours into helping their teams become confident, reach
their goals, and most importantly, to become fast!

Brewers Beat
MLB Prospects
By Sam Capper (Guest Contributor)
It's that time of year again. It’s time for the Brewers to get back in session. After a disappointing season
last year, they're ready to get back on top. With many
exciting prospects coming out of the minor league
farm system this year, the Brewers should be poised
for a breakthrough this season.
Leading the charge for the Brewers on the mound is
pitcher Jimmy Nelson. At the plate the Brewers have
slugger Ryan Braun, who year after year continues to
deliver home runs for the fans of Milwaukee. Finally
the manager of the Brewers Craig Counsell, a man
who hails from Whitefish Bay High School in Wisconsin and seems to be the perfect man to lead the Brewers back to the Promised Land.
So grab a glove or go enjoy a game, because it's
baseball season baby!
The NFL Draft
Let’s start by taking a look at this year’s prospects:
1. Los Angeles Rams - Jared Goff, California
2. Philadelphia Eagles - Carson Wentz, ND State
3. San Diego Chargers - Joey Bosa, Ohio State
4. Dallas Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State
5. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jalen Ramsey, Florida State
6. Baltimore Ravens - Ronnie Stanley, Notre Dame
7. San Francisco 49ers - Deforest Buckner, Oregon
8. Tennessee Titans - Jack Conklin, Michigan State
9. Chicago Bears - Leonard Floyd, Georgia
New York Giants - Eli Apple, Ohio State
This year the NFL Draft took place in Chicago
for the second year in a row. The draft occurred from
April 28-30. Each year, the NFL franchise with the
worst record the previous season gets to pick first overall
in the upcoming draft. Last season, the Tennessee Titans
had the worst record, and they traded their draft pick to
the Los Angeles Rams for more draft picks in future
years. The Cleveland Browns held the second pick in the
draft, but they also traded their pick, this time to the
Philadelphia Eagles. There were two quarterbacks likely
to go first and second overall, and it was up the Rams
who they would pick first. With the first selection in the
NFL Draft, the Rams chose quarterback Jared Goff out of
California. With the second selection, the Eagles chose
the best available player, which was quarterback Carson
Wentz out of North Dakota State. Over the course of
three days, 253 players were drafted to 32 NFL
teams. After the anticipation, anxiety, and relief of the
draft, players now have to prove themselves on the field
after this exciting weekend.
1.Lucas Giolito: RHP, Washington Nationals
Giolito was drafted 16th overall by the Washington Nationals and is currently playing for the Harrisburg Senators in AA. He is 21 years old has 3.17 ERA so far this
season. He is 6’6 and 255 lbs.
2. Julio Urias:LHP, Los Angeles Dodgers
Urias was signed from the Mexican league when he was
16 years old and played in the A class for a season and a
half. He has pitched one game in the bigs leagues this
year. In Triple A this year he has an impressive 1.10
ERA. At 19 years old Urias has a bright future ahead of
him.
3.J.P. Crawford: SS. Philadelphia Phillies
Crawford was drafted 16th overall by the Phillies in the
2013 draft. He has spent most of the season in AA with
the Reading Fightin’ Phils. In 36 game with them he had
36, which is very impressive.

Hamilton is currently the hottest ticket to come by on
Broadway right now. It is sold out at the Richard Rodgers
theater until 2017. It has also won a Grammy and a Pulitzer Prize. The book, Hamilton: The Revolution is sold out
until May 12 (as of April 29th) The closest fans have to
experiencing the musical is the soundtrack made by the
original Broadway cast. Today, I will review five of the 42
songs of Hamilton, enjoy!
Alexander Hamilton: This song gives a preface to the
entire musical and tells the many hardships that Alexander
Hamilton faced growing up. This is explicitly demonstrated when an entire verse is dedicated to the amount of
family that he lost. Just one line stating, “When he was
10, his father split, full of if debt ridden.” It becomes clear
that the musical is Hamilton’s story as told from his political enemy, Aaron Burr’s, point of view. In the end of the
song, it introduces several storylines that continue
throughout the musical.
My Shot: This is a very upbeat song and gives the audience a hip hop song that this musical is known for. My
Shot really helps the listener understand Hamilton’s goals
when he arrived in America, “Imma get a scholarship to
King’s College.” The other featured characters, Marquis
de Lafayette, Hercules Mulligan, and John Laurens tell
why they want to help the revolution.
The Schuyler Sisters : This song is an ode to New
York City. It also introduces the main female characters.
The Schuyler Sisters tells about city life in the 1700s as
well. Angelica, one of the characters, talks about how she
is an advocate for the revolution. This song also introduces
Eliza’s line , “Look around, look around at how lucky we
are to be alive right now.” which is repeated by or to her.
Many listeners can look forward to an upbeat rhythm with
this song.
One Last Time: Unlike many of the songs in this musical, this song is sung by George Washington. In it,
Washington explains that he no longer wants to be president, and that he wants to retire. It gives insight of the
mindset of both Washington setting the two term precedent, and the mindset of the people. In this song, Hamilton is trying to get Washington to keep his position as
president, citing, “You have to serve, you could continue
to serve.”This song is filled with soulful vocals and is very
good to listen to if you want a slow, but still active tempos
and rhythms.
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story: This
is a heartfelt song that tells the effects that Alexander
Hamilton’s death had on the country. This is a song sung
by his wife, who worked hard after her husband’s death to
make sure that his legacy was shared along with his story.
In this song, it becomes evident that a lot of the information that we have on Alexander Hamilton is all because of
Eliza. She also speaks about establishing “the first private
orphanage in New York City.” In this song, it is clear that
Hamilton’s death inspired the creation of many things
such as Graham Windham, Eliza’s orphanage that is still
functioning today, and the Washington Monument.
Thank you for reading, and have a great summer. If
you ever get bored, just remember to give a listen to
Hamilton.
Music To My Ears
By Tessa Kowalski
So many new songs are trending right now. Everyone has their own music. There’s pop, jazz, punk,
rock, alternative, blues, electronic, hip hop, Latin,
new age, opera, gospel, and reggae. The most popular genre of music in the United States this month is
pop music. The most popular song in pop this month
is 7 Years by Lukas Graham. This song laments how
time goes by so quickly, and how we all need to live
life while we’re still alive. The second is by Prince,
called Purple Rain, and it is such a beautifullywritten song. The third most popular song is Work
From Home by Fifth Harmony, featuring Ty Dolla
$ign. This is a very repetitive song, but is great for
dancing. Next is No by Meghan Trainor, which has a
catchy beat. The last song is called Stressed Out by
Twenty One Pilots. No matter what your style, one
of these will get you singing or dancing!
