Don't miss how to instantly increase the volume from your smartphone with a simple swipe of your fingertip!

Congratulations, Piano Students: St. Charles piano students, studying with Kathleen Latzke-Daley, participated in the Wisconsin Federation of Music Clubs' Federation Festival in early February. Of the forty entries in piano solo and music theory, thirty-five received the highest rating of Superior, and five received Excellent ratings. These are incredible results! Eighteen students have qualified to participate in Piano Solo at the State Level in May. Congratulations to all of our students who competed. We are so proud of your hard work!

Finance Park Field Trip: Our 7th Graders recently went on a field trip to the Finance Park through Junior Achievement! Leading up to the visit, they learned about personal finance and the creation of a monthly budget in Social Studies. At Junior Achievement, students were given real-life scenarios including having a family, a job, an annual income, etc. They were then given the task to create a monthly budget and needed to make the best financial decision based on their monthly income. Students did a great job, and they learned a lot about personal finance! 

Track & Field Starting: Track and Field season is almost here! Registration is open for 5th-8th Graders and will close on Saturday, March 1. Please check out the flyer for more information and our website to sign up.

Jingle Shop Opportunity: Are you interested in spreading Christmas cheer to our students in December? Please consider coordinating our Jingle Shop! This is a fun, rewarding opportunity for an individual or group of parents to run later this year. Please contact Laurie DeAngelis with any questions.
