NEWS & NOTES

Staff Updates: We are excited to announce a few new hires and an additional 3rd Grade classroom for the 2024-2025 school year!

    • Ms. Kust is a familiar face at St. Charles. She served as our long-term substitute in 5K earlier this year and most recently as our 5th Grade teaching assistant. Ms. Kust is looking forward to teaching first grade and having some of her 5K friends as 1st Graders next year!

Kid City: Our 3rd Grade scholars loved participating in Kid City last week! Students worked together to create businesses and helped younger students who stopped by to visit their city. 
Piano State Federation: Congratulations to 5th Grader Jon for winning his division at the State Level of Wisconsin Federation Festivals! Calleigh Mills, a past graduate of St. Charles and current scholar at Catholic Memorial High School, won her division, too. Kathleen Latzke-Daley, piano/voice teacher, congratulates these students and all the students that qualified to compete at the State Level. This is quite an honor!
2024 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage: For the first time in history, the Blessed Sacrament will travel in a procession across the entire United States. The pilgrims will move through the Milwaukee area on June 18-26 and will make a stop at St. Charles on Thursday, June 20. Once here, pilgrims will celebrate a Holy Hour from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and then host an Encounter Night from 7-8 p.m., which includes Adoration and Reconciliation. This will be followed by a brief social before pilgrims travel to their next stop, which is the Schoenstatt Retreat Center in Waukesha.
