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,
Wash your hands, take your vitamins, and get lots of rest! There are plenty of illnesses going around so please stay healthy out there so that you can be present at school every day! We want to see all of our students here every day so that we can continue to learn, achieve excellence, and continue our Lenten journey together.
* Padre Tournament: One more Congratulations to Maddie Ladish (8th Ggrade) and the combined Holy Apostles/St. Charles Girls Basketball Team for taking 4th place in the Padre Serra Basketball Tournament! The games last weekend at Mount Mary University were nail-biters. Maddie played her heart out and she is so much fun to watch! Maddie, we are so proud of YOU. Can=E2=80=99t wait to see you play at Catholic Memorial High School next year!
* Make-up Day on March 25: Just a reminder that this Monday, March 25 is a regular day of school. Originally this was a scheduled day off but we are using this day as a make-up day as we are required to make-up one day due to the five snow/cold days we had this winter. Please make sure your child is in attendance!
* Recess Equipment: Many thanks to the Merkel Family for donating some new recess equipment. The new soccer ball, basketball, and kickball were an immediate big hit. We really appreciate your generosity!
Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey
