Charger Chatter
September 30, 2019
Dear Parents,

The staff at St. Charles School are beginning a two year self-study accreditation process to evaluate programs and school climate. The attached survey is created by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association in an effort to assist us in gaining insight into our school. The survey results are summarized for us and all respondents remain anonymous.

Please take a moment over the coming weeks to respond to the survey. Each parent and/or guardian of our students can take the parent survey. We thank you in advance for your time and input towards responding to this survey.


God Bless,
David Bogle
Principal

Knights of Columbus Ribfest is right around the corner!
If you would like to sponsor this event please click here to download the sponsorship form.
What are the Horse Races at the RibFest?

It is RibFest time! That means it is time to collect donations from the students for the RibFest Horse Races. All donations will be given back to the school for technology upgrades, such as teacher laptops, student Chromebooks, WiFi upgrades, etc.
The classroom that collects the most money will win a pizza party for the students. In addition, if your horse wins one of the races, the students win a pizza party. Last year I believe there were five classroom winners.

Here is how it works:
1.       Collect donations (coins, cash, or checks) between September 30 and October 04.
2.       For every $20 collected, your class gets to name a horse for the races.
3.       If your horse wins a race, your classroom wins a pizza party.

Horse Race donation bottles will be distributed on Monday, September 30 and collected on Friday, October 04. Your classroom will be requested to provide horse names the week of October 07. All pizza parties will be held on Thursday, October 24. Pizzas and juice boxes will be delivered to your classroom.
