The Weekly Rundown -- Summer Edition
From Principal Garvey
I hope you are all enjoying quality time with family and friends during this first part of summer! I cannot say THANK YOU enough to all of you who have been so kind and welcoming during my first month at St. Charles. The amount of support and well wishes has been absolutely amazing and I feel truly blessed.
During my first month, I utilized every minute with Mrs. Anderson before we sent her off to Catholic Memorial High School. She was extremely gracious with her time and worked diligently to get me quickly acclimated to my new role. She deserves many thanks for her continued work at St. Charles.
Parade: I would like to give a huge shout out to Julie and Greg Kirby, Gregg Brunclik, the Parade Committee, Dr. Matthews and the students in the choir, the students and families who walked, and all those who had a hand in organizing our participation in the parade this past Sunday! My wife, Beth, and I had an amazing time meeting new faces, walking in the parade, showing off our St. Charles pride, handing out candy along the way, and racing back to school with Fr. Ken and Fr. Behling in the monsoon that overtook the parade. Without a doubt, this event was very well organized and a great opportunity for families to connect with one another and with the community. I am very much looking forward to more community events!
Lunch Program: We are in the process of switching our lunch vendor to Taher Food Service. There will be more information regarding our lunch program in the weeks to come, but I wanted to keep everyone in the loop as we work to make our lunch program top notch.
New Hires: One of the tasks that I have been working on is hiring new staff members for the upcoming school year. I will make those announcements later this month as we are still in the process of filling a few positions. Keep us in your prayers in hopes that the amazing individuals we have interviewed decide to join the team.
Recess Supervisor: We are looking to hire one additional recess supervisor to our team. If you are available Monday-Friday from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and are interested in helping out during recess, please send me an email or call the School Office at 262-367-2040 and we can schedule a time to chat.
I pray that everyone is having a safe and enjoyable summer. Thank you again for making me feel like I=E2=80=99ve been a member of the St. Charles family for years.
Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey

SCRIP Volunteers Needed in July/August
We're in need of volunteers who can sell SCRIP after the 5 pm Mass on Saturdays in July and one week in August. Each shift is about 30-45 minute. No worries if you've never sold before -- it's easy to handle and we'll teach you. This is a great way to get a jump start on service hours for the 2018-2019 School Year. If you can help any of these dates: July 7, 14, 28 or Aug. 28 please contact Jill Boesl. Thank you in advance for your help.
Calendar Note: Our school calendar is set for the 2018-2019 School Year with the exception of grading and report card dates. Those dates will be finalized with the School Leadership Team and Mr. Garvey, and they do not affect any days not in session. This is a link to the 2018-2019 School Calendar.
School Office open all summer: Summer hours for the School Office are 9 am to 2 pm Monday through Friday. If you call when no one is in the School Office please leave a message and we will return the call. Please also email your questions to school@stcharleshartland.org.
