Weekly Rundown for September 12

Parents and Students, 

What an awesome and wonderful Fall Fest weekend! St. Charles was rockin' all weekend with many school families, parishioners, friends, and community members coming together to share in laughter and good times as well as support St. Charles Parish and School. We are truly blessed to have so many amazing volunteers who put in countless hours to pull this event off. I am almost positive Brian Kuss and some others were on the grounds working around the clock. Many, many, many thank you's to Brian and Heather Kuss for taking the lead and putting on a great show! A huge shout-out to Chris Thorsen and Gregg Brunclick and their teams. This event would not have been successful without you and all of the other volunteers who contributed immense amounts of time and energy to this weekend. Our school families were out in force volunteering for a multitude of shifts. They really pulled together! We are eternally grateful for everything you do for St. Charles!

Following His plan, 
Mr. Garvey
