The Weekly Rundown
MISSION STATEMENT: St. Charles Parish School in Hartland, Wisconsin nourishes and grows a vibrant Catholic community committed to innovation, responsiveness and compassion as it prepares and challenges students in their intellectual, spiritual and moral lives.
Parents and Students,
New Staff: We are excited to announce that we have hired a new Advancement Officer! Allison Caswell was born and raised in Wauwatosa and attended St. Jude School and DSHA High School before continuing on to UW-Milwaukee and then Mount Mary University. After taking a detour to Seattle for almost three years, Allison returned to Wauwatosa and joined the Advancement team at DSHA for the last four years as their Admissions & Marketing Assistant. Throughout her time there, she was chiefly responsible for recruiting new students, coordinating events for prospective families, and sharing the news about the DSHA experience. Catholic education has always been important to Allison, and she is excited to further the mission of offering a welcoming, faith-filled environment to families in our area. Allison is looking forward to meeting current and future St. Charles families and becoming part of the community!

Finally, a quick and important message from Deacon Allen Olson, former music and middle school religion teacher at St. Charles Parish School and current Parish Director at St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish in North Lake and Monches:
Hello St. Charles Parishioners, My name is Deacon Allen Olson and I am the Deacon and Parish Director for St. Teresa of Calcutta Church in North Lake. and Monches.
Every December parishioner Jacyntha Shaw and I go out to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, the poorest Indian Reservation in the United States, and visit Red Cloud Catholic School which has wonderful connections with the Marquette Jesuits.
Through last year's generous donations by St. Charles parishioners, we were able to give each teacher in kindergarten through 8th Grade a box of teaching supplies and each student a bag full of school supplies such as pens, pencils, paper, crayons/markers, pencil box, etc. We also give each student in kindergarten through 4th grade a small stuffed animal as a gift. For many this will be the only gift they receive at Christmas time.
We delivered new clothing for Sacred Heart (which is similar to St. Vincent de Paul) that residents may purchase at extremely low prices. Your generous donations also supplied another nearby Catholic school on the reservation, Our Lady of Lourdes, with the same amount of supplies as Red Cloud School.
This year I again humbly ask that as you purchase school supplies for your children you also purchase an item for Red Cloud School students. There will be large totes at the back of church and near the School Office where you or your child may drop off the school items.
Thank you very much for your continued generosity!
Deacon Allen Olson
