Weekly Rundown for September 5

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, 

Thank you so much for your help and patience while we gear up for Fall Fest! We are getting better and quicker with this temporary procedure everyday while maintaining the safety of our children. It also helps to have Fr. Nick out there directing traffic!

Last night, we held the first of two Parent Info Nights. Thank you to all of the parents and families that joined us to learn more about what St. Charles Parish School is doing and working to do in the future. Our teachers held informative meetings in their classrooms and spoke passionately about the work they do with their students each and every day. We greatly appreciate your presence and the partnership in your child's education!

Following His plan, 
Mr. Garvey

Calling All 3rd through 8th grade Cheerleaders: Our cheerleading season will start in November. We'd love to have you join us!  

Frequently asked questions:

1. We cheer only at St. Charles home games (so not every weekend)
2. You may play basketball and cheer.  We will make sure that there are few/if any conflicts.  Basketball would take priority over cheer.
3. You are welcome to cheer with us, even if you have never cheered before!
