We are excited to welcome our VIPs to St. Charles on Friday, May 3!
The Hospitality Committee will be providing donuts and coffee for students and their VIPs following Mass. Students and guests must register by Thursday, April 25 on our sign-up form. Please note that each student will need to sign up separately. 

Staff Update: We are sad to announce that our librarian Mrs. Brianna Rasmussen will be leaving St. Charles. She will be pursuing a new position at the Hartland Public Library. While we are sad to see her go, we are very proud of Brianna for all of her accomplishments as well as her dedication to literacy, and we are excited for her to use her talents to serve the greater Hartland community. Even though her last day will be tomorrow, March 15, she will still be very much a part of the St. Charles family. Please keep her in your prayers! As we continue the search for a new librarian, we will work to make sure students are still able to check books in and out, but there might be a slight pause as we finetune new procedures. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding!

Cheer on Basketball: Cheer on our 8th Grade girls' basketball team at the Padre Serra Tournament! They are playing tomorrow, March 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Dominican High School. We'd also like to congratulate our 8th Grade boys' team on an incredible season. Go Crusaders!
