LIBRARY UPDATE
National Library Week is April 7 -13, 2019 and it is time to celebrate the contributions of the nation's and our local libraries. From free access to books and online resources for families, libraries offer a space for all members of the community to come together. The theme this year is "Libraries = Strong Communities". We are blessed to have many newly renovated libraries in our community. If you have not been to your local library this week would be a great time to visit. St. Charles School is fortunate to have the support of Ms. Jennifer Buckner, Children's Librarian, Dayton Metro Library at the Kettering-Moraine Branch. If you visit her branch please thank her for her support. 

Happy Reading,
Mrs. Brown

The Ohio Department of Health requires that all students entering 7th grade have the following immunizations:

ST. CHARLES LENTEN ALMSGIVING

For Love of Children

We don’t normally think of Christmas during Lent. But at For Love of Children, it is a year-long process to replenish the shelves in their Toy Village that provides the only Christmas gifts some area youth may receive. Last year the program provided gifts for 1600 children from Montgomery County Children’s Services and two local schools. Because of the large number of families, limited time, and limited space, For Love of Children has learned to become very efficient and has set up their Toy Village like a mini supermarket. For that reason they are requesting very specific items, brand, size, etc. which will not only help their efforts, but also make your shopping easier. Please visit the display in the Gathering Space to pick up cards for items to purchase and donate. For more information go to  https://flocdayton.org/

  • For Love of Children provides financial, educational and advocacy support for youth throughout the Greater Dayton Area, serving children from newborn to age 18. They offer several programs and services. For our part, we will be collecting items such toys, dolls, stuffed animals, board games, pajamas, and slippers. For list of items please click on google document https://goo.gl/J34N5A

St. Mary Development

St. Mary Connect is their program which links residents in St. Mary Development Corporation's affordable apartment communities to services such as healthcare , insurance, meal programs and transportation. On their own, residents have extreme difficulty accessing many programs and often give up in frustration before receiving adequate needed care. This is bad for both the resident whose health deteriorates, as well as the community at large, whose tax dollars end up paying the cost of more expensive safety-net programs or nursing home care when a resident experiences a crisis.

  • St. Mary Development Corporation provides safe and affordable housing to low-income senior citizens. We will be collecting items such as household goods and personal hygiene items. Their website is stmarydevelopment.org. Some donation items include: RTA bus passes, paper towels, toilet paper, new socks, laundry detergent, soap, toothbrushes and toothpaste and hand soap.  

Thank you for supporting our parish wide Lenten Almsgiving project.
All donations may be turned into your students homeroom teacher.
