Library News
Birthday Book Club (BBC)
We will be continuing the Birthday Book Club this year! For more information on what the Birthday Book Club is and how to join please see the google doc to the below.
Last Year’s BBC
Due to the stay at home circumstances at the end of the ‘19-’20 school year, there are some students who have still not received their chance to check out a new Birthday Book Club book. I will be in contact with those students/families in the next couple weeks to get those taken care of. (Mrs. Brown had new uncirculated books set aside specifically for this purpose.)
Book Checkout
Unfortunately, the library is currently closed to browsing, but you can still check out books. Students can use the online catalog to place holds and books will then be checked out and delivered to their homeroom teacher or can be picked up in the office if studying virtually. K-2 will still have a small selection of books brought to their classroom, however with your help to place holds they have access to the entire library. Please visit our virtual library for more information and the catalog link.

Backpack Program at St. Charles School
St. Charles school in partnership with local churches, businesses and individuals have created a special program for some of the children in Kettering schools, called “The Backpack Program.” This program was designed to nutritionally support some of our students in need over the weekends. Our resources are limited, so only sign up for the program if it is something your child NEEDS.
If your child participates, each Friday from now until the end of the school year, he/she will bring home a small bag of simple, healthy, kid-friendly foods to help with nutrition over the weekend.
No information about your child, or your family, will be shared with any agencies. This is strictly through the guidance counselor and principal at school. If you would like to participate in this program please email bwill@stcharleskettering.org or call me at 937-660-3753.
Some food items in the backpack may contain food allergens. If your child has any food allergies, please make sure to check the ingredients of the items in the bag. If the ingredients are not listed, you may request a list of ingredients from bwill@stcharleskettering.org
Sincerely,
Brittany Will
Guidance Counselor
