St. Charles Elementary School has been working diligently to follow our Bulldog Strong Expectations every day. Last week, we focused on our lunchroom expectation for Be Kind—picking up after ourselves and disposing of our lunch waste properly!
We are proud to share that Mrs. Lemaire’s kindergarten class earned an ice cream party for being the top class in the lunchroom and for winning our Be Kind Award for the week.
Stay tuned for next Friday when we will announce the next winners as we shift our focus to our Be Well lunchroom expectation—controlling our bodies, using appropriate voice levels, and speaking kindly. Who will be our next Bulldog Strong winners? Check back to find out!

St. Charles MS/HS Freshmen students play a few rounds of Uno to go along with their lesson on "proofs" with teacher Mrs. Short. All work and no play... no way!
The 6th graders learned about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in ELA class and made some creative "parade floats" out of balloons and other supplies.
In math class, they built models to represent New York City and programmed Edison bots using code to carry their floats through the parade route.
The actual parade had some issues, but we hope that the students had fun learning and thinking outside the box this week!

In the elementary MTSS groups with Mrs. Van Tiem, students combined reading with counting down the days until Christmas. Each night, they will take one link off their paper chain and read it to someone at home. When they reach the final link on the stocking, it will be Christmas Eve!
The students were very excited about this fun activity, and they sang songs as they created their chains together.

We have loved watching our gratitude grow at St. Charles Elementary School these past few weeks, thanks to the 5th-grade leadership team's "Thankful Tree"!
Students and staff shared what they are grateful for. It made our hearts full to see so many write that they are thankful for things right here at school.
Happy Thanksgiving, Bulldogs!

Last Friday, our middle and high school students, along with their teacher, Ms. Stone, had an incredible opportunity to learn from two of Michigan's State FFA Officers, Jessica and Brent!
They shared the many wonderful aspects of FFA, including leadership development, career opportunities, building friendships, travel experiences, and much more. The students also engaged in activities that helped them better understand themselves, their values, and how they can grow as leaders.
Thank you, Michigan FFA, for supporting our chapter and empowering our students to explore the countless possibilities FFA offers! #MichiganFFA
