Hey there! You know what? The St. Charles calendar isn’t just dates. Nope. It’s way more.
Think about it. Each day has a story. Kids learn stuff. Faith grows big. Families get close. Picture this: Kids walk in happy. Teachers give big hugs. Parents wave bye with joy. That’s our school!
We’re not just any school. We’re like one big family. Faith guides us. Love keeps us tight. And learning? That helps us grow.
First Day Fun
Remember your first school day? Nervous but excited?
New bags sit ready. Shoes look shiny. Kids laugh in halls. Teachers call names. “Welcome back!” they shout. Lockers bang shut. Bells ring loud. Then we pray. The day starts right.
By Friday? New friends all over. Big smiles too. The year has begun!
