Fish n' Chips - March 16th:
Sign up NOW for the annual, Dewey's sponsored, Out of Uniform Student/Teacher Pizza Lunches! Click here for a copy of the pizza lunch sign up sheet (I've attached the file, maybe Maggie can make it a link). Lunches are $20 per student; each child gets an Out of Uniform day, lunch with their teacher, Dewey's Pizza, a drink, and a coupon for a FREE Dewey's pizza!
How would you like to show up to the 3:00 p.m. Christmas Eve mass to find a front row parking spot and pew reserved just for you? No, you're not dreaming. Father Dan gave the green light for this item, and it is sure to be a popular one!
Ever wish someone would vacuum your house for you every day, free of charge, and without being asked? An iRobot Roomba will be one of the items featured in this year's Grand Raffle.
If a little gambling is on your mind, how about an overnight trip to Horseshoe Casino or $200 worth of scratch off lottery tickets? There's a reason Fish 'n Chips is "the luckiest Fish Fry in town!"
Make plans now to attend Fish 'n Chips on March 16th to bid on these and many other items!
Brand new this year is our Entertainment Tent featuring live music by Full Throttle from 8-11pm! You won't want to miss this great fundraising event.

This program helps students learn about the benefits of regular physical activity and heart health, but also teaches children the value of giving back to those in need. Heart disease affects many families in our community, so your support means a lot!
Your child will be receiving a donation packet this week. St. Charles School goal is to have as much student involvement as possible. Together, we can make a BIG IMPACT!

In 2nd Grade science classes, we have spent some time talking about technology and the job of an engineer. We were so excited to welcome Wizard Charlie, from the W.O.W Wizards, (Wizards of Wright Patt). Charlie joined our second grade class for the morning. With Charlie’s help, we were able to transform into civil engineers. We brainstormed, and worked together to make a truss bridge. Once the bridge was complete, there was only one way to check the strength. We crawled across it!!

St. Charles Lenten Almsgiving Project
St. Charles School has incorporated the Beatitudes into our curriculum and Faith Family activities this school year. The Beatitudes call us to live a life of Christ's presence through outwards signs of being peacemakers, bringing reconciliation, seeking opportunities for mercy and compassion, and pursuing justice and righteousness. We strive to live each Beatitude one action at a time and one day at a time.
As Lent approaches the school staff and students are preparing for our Lenten Almsgiving project. St. Charles school students in coordination with the parish will be collecting item necessities for two local charities,
Brigid's Path
and
Homefull
during the Lenten season. We ask that all donations are provided prior to March 23, 2018. Each classroom will have receptacles for donations and will deliver them to church each Tuesday for collection by the Social Action Committee.
Brigid's Path
is the first facility in Ohio, and just the second in the country, to specialize in providing care for drug exposed newborns. They welcome newborns.from area hospitals who are medically stable but still need to go through a painful withdrawal process..Brigid's Path provides a quiet, comforting environment with one-on-one medical staff and many supporting volunteers. They also provide non-judgemental support for mothers and education services to improve family outcomes. St. Charles will be collecting items needed for the babies and general supplies for the facility.
https://brigidspath.org/
Homefull
in Dayton got its start many years ago as a temporary homeless shelter for about 20 people. They now help more than 600 people daily. More than just a shelter, they offer a comprehensive list of services designed to help people find and keep jobs and homes. Clients moving out of the shelter system typically have very few possessions, and definitely don't have all the items they need to make a fresh start in a new home. St. Charles will be collecting the items they need for their new start in life.
http://www.homefull.org/
We greatly appreciate your assistance in helping our students understand Lenten Almsgiving and living a life through the Beatitudes.
