A huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the event successful. We specifically thank Staci Bevan for chairing the event and Joe & Gina Robertson for cooking all the food. Thank you to our third grade teachers for helping decorate and all the teachers who attended.  While the turnout was smaller than we hoped, and only a handful of school parents showed up, everyone there had a great time. 

Did you know St. Charles has a food pantry in Borromeo Hall? Each week we will feature information regarding the pantry. The students will have an opportunity to visit the pantry and learn more about what the volunteers do in the pantry. To say thank you and help support those in need, the students will be given an opportunity to donate a food item. Our fist food drive will be on November 17^th. Food may be brought in on Monday or Tuesday. We hope you will consider sending in the following items per grade level:

• Preschool, PreK, K - Boxed meals like Hamburger Helper (can be an off brand).
