The 6th-grade students enjoyed their field trip to Midland Center For the Arts. They explored Newton's laws of physics by making their own launchable rockets, and they collaborated to write and share their own graphic novels. Finally, they could explore the hands-on Spark Lab area after their programs were finished.










Congratulations to Braden Wicke and Gabe Kelley for making it to States for band! Mr. Benson was excited to play along side of the guys this morning to celebrate their accomplishments. Good luck at STATES Braden and Gabe!!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
This morning, we received notification of an alleged safety concern that required investigation. The concern was immediately addressed by myself, the Superintendent of St. Charles Community Schools, as well as our administrative team.
Upon investigation, jointly conducted by St. Charles Community School’s administration and local law enforcement, it was determined that there was no threat to students or staff. As we have done in the past, in the event of any incident at St. Charles Community Schools, we will alert staff/guardians in a timely manner. The safety of our students, staff, and community is our top priority.
We greatly appreciate our local law enforcement officers who diligently partner with us to protect the safety of our students and staff attending St. Charles Community Schools. Please feel free to contact me by calling 989-865-9961 if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Mark Benson
Superintendent

Raffle and Game Update: Due to the snow days and the cancellation of the girls’ basketball game on Thursday, February 23rd, the class of “2025” raffle will now take place on Tuesday, February 28, 2023, during the varsity boys’ basketball halftime home against New Lothrop. The girls’ and boys’ varsity basketball teams will travel to Coleman tonight, February 24, 2023, to play. The girls will start at 5:30 pm and the boys at 7:00 pm. The switch to Coleman was made to assure that both varsity teams complete their league schedule. Also, by playing there the student-athletes of Coleman will be able to have the senior night they deserve. I know if the roles were reversed, we would appreciate our opponent doing the same for us. *There are no JV girls or JV boys games planned for tonight. If you are interested in purchasing raffle tickets for Tuesday’s drawing click on the link to purchase tickets. https://forms.gle/VEHArCHB7uCFmxcY7



Good afternoon,
Varsity teams will be allowed to hold voluntary practices today after 2:00. Please understand that practices held on cancellation days are strictly voluntary. If you feel it is unsafe to travel to the school, please stay home. Student athletes will not be penalized for not practicing on cancellation days.
Thank you,
Leon Larsen
