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.

Mrs. Supple and Mrs. Birk accompanied fifteen middle-school students to the Art of Writing: Young Authors and Artists Conference at the Milwaukee Art Museum earlier this week!
The venue and its thousands of works of art provided an inspiring atmosphere that allowed the students to express themselves through writing and drawing. Students were placed in groups of ten with each group containing students from a mix of schools. Small sessions provided writing and editing tips and techniques, and students exchanged stories and conversations as they worked throughout the galleries. It was an incredible opportunity for all who participated. Thank you to everyone who attended and to the parents who chaperoned and drove!
