This program will be held at St. Charles Parish School but is open to the public as community outreach through REDgen so please share with your family and friends.

Parents with students in 5K through 8th Grade are asked to perform 40 hours of service, parents with students in 4K are asked to perform 20 hours and parents with students in 3K are asked to perform 10 hours.
Trivia Night Is Back: Grab friends and create a team for the annual Trivia Night at St. Charles on Saturday, Nov. 17. If you've never attended this signature event you must try it this year. Loads of fun and laughter and some very tough questions. It's a great way to meet other parents and parishioners while raising money for the school. There are perks if you register before Nov. 1. For more information and to register visit this link.
Catechesis Of The Good Shepherd: Space is available in the Catechesis of the Good Sheperd (CGS) program which is new to St. Charles this fall. CGS is a beautiful, Montessori-based religious education program for children in Grades 3K-5K (though students need not be regularly enrolled in a school to participate). Children in this program tend to experience a joy and an increasing interest in their faith (especially during the Mass).
The session runs from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm on Thursday evenings (about three times each month) and begins with a parent orientation on Oct. 18th. Cost is $110 per child. Please let us know if the cost is a concern.
Please contact Alicia Van Hecke, Director of Child Formation, through email or call 262-367-3277 Ext. 230 for more information or to register for this session.
General Mills Box Tops For Education Fundraiser: Send in those Box Tops by Oct. 15 so we can get them counted and sent to General Mills by the Nov. 1 deadline. This is an easy fundraiser so we hope all of our families take part in it. Just buy your normal products, clip the box tops and send them to school. We'll handle the rest. Please give Box Tops to your child's teacher or drop them in the School Office.
