Who remembers the "rollercoaster" making unit in elementary school??
Mrs. Pumford's 5th graders are getting ready for the roller coaster projects by experimenting with how fast different objects fall through the air.

St. Charles Community Schools would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Chase Oldenburg, a member of the STC community, and the 1000-Mile Snowmobile Challenge for their generous donation of two books to our elementary library. The donated titles are "Twinkling Wings and Toothy Things," written by local author Nate Moeller from Freeland, MI.
These books were shared with the preschool classrooms, which are currently starting their dental unit this week. Ms. Shelby and Ms. Lindsey, teachers in the GSRP program, were delighted to receive these engaging learning materials for their classes, and the elementary library was thrilled to add the new books to its collection, which upper elementary students can also check out.

For the final "Macho Volleyball" competition, the Senior class team took on some brave STC staff members, and it was an intense competition from the very beginning! Ultimately, after a hard-fought battle, the STC staff secured the championship title with a 25-21 victory. Congrats to the staff who will be spending the weekend resting and recuperating with smiles on their faces :)
The Coming Home Basketball Game will be played tonight, February 12, at 7 pm in the Performance Gym. The Varsity Lady Bulldog Basketball Team will take on Fulton. They would love to have the stands packed with support to help them to victory!

Today, Thursday, February 12, 2026, the St. Charles High School students fired up for the Coming Home Basketball Game with a few friendly matches of "Macho Volleyball" and a "Pixar Movie" themed "cart" competition.
The Freshman class took first place in the cart contest with a "Ratatouille" theme. The Juniors took 2nd place with an "Up" theme. The Seniors took 3rd with a "Cars" theme. And last but not least, the Sophomore class placed 4th with "Finding Nemo".
Macho Volleyball was played between the Freshman Class and Senior Class, where the Seniors took the win. The Juniors played the Sophomores and won. Then a final round was played between the Juniors and the Seniors, with the Seniors coming out ahead and earning the opportunity to play the STAFF (see another post for the final results).

In honor of Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month, we are proud to spotlight Gabe Kelley, a 12th-grade student enrolled in the Youth Development Program at the Saginaw Career Complex. Through hands-on learning and real-world experiences, students like Gabe are gaining valuable skills, earning credentials, and preparing for their future—all while still in high school.
Be on the lookout for CTE student billboards going up across our community later this month as we celebrate the opportunities available to students throughout Saginaw County. As you travel into St. Charles from Chesaning on M-52, watch for Gabe's smile in the sky!
