The Weekly Rundown
MISSION STATEMENT: St. Charles Parish School in Hartland, Wisconsin nourishes and grows a vibrant Catholic community committed to innovation, responsiveness and compassion as it prepares and challenges students in their intellectual, spiritual and moral lives.
Parents and Students,
I can=E2=80=99t thank you enough for all of the love, support, and much-needed prayers that you have provided my family and me during this very difficult time. Because of the outpouring support, prayers, cards, emails, text messages, and many hugs, this time of sadness has been so much easier and comforting. I would say I was surprised at how many people reached out to me and even came to my dad=E2=80=99s service, but when I think about it, I am not surprised at all. This is the St. Charles way and how this community rallies together in prayer for one another. My family and I are so grateful to be considered a part of this Christ-centered, loving, and compassionate community.
There is a lot of information packed into this Weekly Rundown. Please take about five minutes to read through the column and keep up to date on all the events taking place at your child's school.
