Dear St. Charles Parents,
Last week I spoke to you about the nonpublic pupil aid and contacting your local representative to express your concerns. This is important for our school, so I’m asking you again. If you have not done it, please do it. If one parent reaches out, the other can as well. It really does only take about 5 minutes, and the message is already drafted for you. Please click here: contact your legislators
The registration fees for 2025-26 enrollment next year go up on February 16, so please make sure you have registered before the clock strikes midnight on Feb. 15!
Early Bird pricing for the Borromeo Bash is available until March 1st! See below for a link.
February is a beautiful month in Minnesota! The teachers have been awesome this week keeping the kids moving and having fun with indoor recess. I would like to acknowledge our faculty for the extra work they put in this week.
There is absolutely no sign of it, but warmer days are ahead. Thank you for your partnership and support from home.
God bless you,
Danny Kieffer
St. Charles Principal
