Fish n' Chips - March 15th
Please save the date for our largest fundraiser - benefiting the PTO and Athletics Commission. All are welcome for Family Dining or Carryout before 7pm. After that, reserve a babysitter and stay for the Monte Carlo event featuring auctions, games, live music, and drinks. 
This week, an envelope with four tickets will be sent home with your student to sell for this fundraiser. There are also details for family and business sponsorships which are very much needed to make this a successful event. Please consider selling the four tickets or making a sponsorship commitment to help benefit our students. Your generosity is very much appreciated!

Happy Reading,
Mrs. Brown
Game Night was a big success with over 100 people attending to play 50 copies of Game Wright games. Familes ate, played, and had fun for several hours. We would like thank those of you who purchased games. With the profit, we will be able to buy about 60 games for the school. This means each homeroom will be getting 2 to 3 new games in the coming weeks.
If you ordered games, expect them by early this week.
Teacher Conferences will be held on February 13th for those in need. Please go to Option C to schedule a teacher conference, only if needed.
Athletics Needs Your Help!
St. Charles Athletics has a few open positions: Track Coordinator, Assistant Athletics Director, Spiritual Liaison and Secretary. Athletic meetings are typically held one Sunday a month during the school year. Serving on Athletics is a great way to meet other St Charles parents and fulfill your volunteer commitments to the school and parish. CYO programs can't happen without the continued support of our volunteers and parents. If interested, please email Brian Glenn at  bglenn66@gmail.com
