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.

Thank you to 2nd Grader Mason and his family for supporting the 2023 Gala by bidding on and winning Principal for the Day!
He did an amazing job as acting principal on Tuesday and took the job very seriously. It was an absolute joy getting to spend the day with Principal Mason!

"First, I helped Mr. Garvey with morning drop off, and then we went to Mass. I got to sit with Mr. Garvey! I also visited many different classrooms to see what everyone was learning. I had Domino's pizza for lunch with a couple of friends. It was so good! Also, I got to do recess duty two times and got to hold the walkie talkie. Later, I called two friends to the office to have a chat, but it was for fun, and I gave them a treat. It was a very fun day with Mr. Garvey!"  - Mason

Following His plan, 
Mr. Garvey
NEWS & NOTES
Church RecessWe are pleased to announce that our first Church Recess was a hit! What is a Church Recess you ask? It is an opportunity for students in 1st-8th Grade to visit church instead of going out for recess. Students can choose to spend this time in prayer and deepen their relationship with Christ instead of going outside. Church Recess will take place every other Wednesday and is supervised by school staff.
