We hope you and your family have a safe, blessed Thanksgiving!
As a reminder, we will not have school tomorrow, November 26 through Friday, November 28. We will welcome students and staff back to school on Monday, December 1!

Advent Silent Entrance/Exit: As we prepare for the birth of Jesus throughout Advent, we will bookend the week with silent entrance and silent dismissal. As students enter school on Monday mornings, the dimmed lights will remind them to remain silent as they get ready for the day. On Fridays, students will leave their classrooms in silence. We ask scholars to maintain this silence until they are in the car or on the bus. The first silent entrance will be on Monday, December 1!

Give to the Gala: Support our beloved parish and school by giving to the Gala! The Live & Silent Auction returns to this year's Gala, and your donated items, packages, or experiences make a real difference. Guests will bid on everything from fine dining and elegant getaways to handcrafted treasures and family adventures =E2=80=94 generously provided by school families, parishioners, and local businesses. Every contribution sustains the mission and ministries of St. Charles, helping us serve others with faith, compassion, and love. Learn more about great auction ideas on our website or contact Carmen Cruz, Gala Co-chair. 

Mom's Favorite Things Gift Exchange: Join our Home & School Association on Tuesday, December 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. in the STEM Room for our annual Mom=E2=80=99s Favorite Things event! Please register online to participate in a fun evening of friendship, snacks, and a little gift exchange just for us!

SCRIP Gift Cards: Don't forget to purchase SCRIP gift cards for St. Nick and Christmas! Several retailers are currently offering $10 gift cards such as Culver's, Amazon, Starbucks, Cousins, Walmart, and Subway. Visa gift cards are also available for $25, $50, $100, and $500 with no activation fees. Buying SCRIP is a great way to support our parish and school while crossing items off your shopping list!

Jingle Shop: We are looking forward to the Jingle Shop on Wednesday, December 3! Your children will have a chance to shop during school hours that day. Our donation box is still in need of items! We are also looking for many volunteers to help set up the day before and gift wrappers and shopper helpers the day of the event. Please check out our volunteer page to sign up.

Basketball Uniforms: With the purchase of new jerseys for our basketball teams, we are now selling the old ones to help raise money for our basketball program. If you are interested in purchasing jerseys or shorts, please check out the online list.
