St. Charles Elementary School has launched a new reading initiative! Look for the elementary float in the St. Charles Homecoming Parade on Friday, September 25, 2026!
The elementary school has decided to move beyond just "March is Reading Month" and make it a yearlong mission to have fun while reading called "Take Me to Your Readers."
The elementary school reading committee recently built an 8 ft rocket in the elementary school hallway, and Kevin landed outside our library. The new initiative, along with "Kevin," our school's alien, was introduced to elementary students, staff, and parents, letting them know students will complete a mission every month to power Kevin's rocket ship and help him return to outer space.
Mrs. Miller, the elementary school principal, has arranged a "Reading Under the Lights " event on the football field to kick off the reading fun. Every student who completes all the missions will be invited to a huge celebration in March for their accomplishments. There will be prizes and little incentives throughout the year as well to keep the students engaged.
St. Charles Elementary wanted to share this information with the community so that if you see an alien invasion during the Homecoming Parade, you are well informed.
Staff shouts out to Jennifer Van Tiem, who teamed up with Emily Wachowicz to compose a "commercial"; together, they have brought the vision of the mission to life!! Thank you for your dedication to reading and our students.
If you ordered from the Washington, DC Fundraiser, you can pick up your Bulldog Blanket outside the middle school entrance after the homecoming parade this Friday until 6:45 pm.
If you have questions, please email Danielle Samyn at samynd@stccs.org

Every student who earned a Bulldog Slip the week of September 14-18th was entered into our weekly drawing, and these Bulldogs were selected for showing kindness, being helpful, supporting others, and making our school a better place!
Great job, Bulldogs! Keep up the great work and keep those Bulldog Slips coming! 🐾❤️
Sutton attended the game with her family and took the initiative to recruit several younger students to cheer for the 5th- and 6th-grade Bulldog football team, since there were no cheerleaders on the field at the time due to the weather conditons.
Thank you, Sutton, for your dedication to the sport and for mentoring our future Bulldog cheerleaders! You truly rock!

A very special shout-out and thank-you to the High School Principal, Mr. White, for coming up with this awesome idea and helping bring our Bulldogs together! ❤️🖤

St. Charles Community Schools is aware of a bus incident that occurred this morning involving one of our district buses.
The bus was traveling southbound on M-52 after completing its morning route and dropping students off at the Saginaw Career Complex and returning to the district. No students were aboard the bus at the time of the incident.
As the bus was traveling along M-52, another vehicle unexpectedly entered the roadway from a nearby residential park and pulled into the path of the school bus. The bus and the other vehicle were involved in a collision.
We are thankful to report that the St. Charles Community Schools bus driver and the driver of the other vehicle are both okay. Appropriate authorities responded to the scene, and the incident is being handled through the proper channels.
The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community remain our highest priority. We appreciate the quick response of those who assisted at the scene and are grateful that no students were involved in this incident.
St. Charles Community Schools will provide additional information if necessary as more details become available.
Thank you for your continued support of St. Charles Community Schools.
Ronald Stanley
Superintendent
St. Charles Community Schools
