St. Charles Elementary is having a fetching good time during reading month. Each grade level is showing its "Top Dog" reading habits.
Mrs. Hafner's 1st-grade class and Mrs. Prince's 3rd-grade class have logged the most hours, earning them "Top Dog" status for the past two weeks in a row! Way to go!
All the dogs are on their way out of the shelter and back into their doghouses because of the students' reading efforts and dedication to reaching their goals.

Students in Mr. Delemeester's physics class at St. Charles High School worked on the SimpleGen and Windmill lab projects. We are eager to see where this project will lead the students.





This week, 2nd Graders in Ms. Mellott’s class worked on the Character Strong trait of Cooperation!
They were grouped and instructed to draw their perfect playground together. Each student had one minute to draw, and they had to work together to figure out what they wanted on their playgrounds! They also had to work through conflicts by talking them out if there were any disagreements. The final products are so creative!

On Friday, March 6, 2026, the Elementary School celebrated "March is Reading Month/Read Across America" by hosting a morning filled with volunteer readers from the community. These guest readers included community members, Board of Education members, local business owners, and current STC students.
One of the most exciting highlights was the visit from St. Charles High School students dressed as Disney characters! A huge thank you goes out to all the volunteer readers, as well as Mrs. Donna Schantz and Mrs. Mary Walker, for making "March Reading Month/Read Across America" special for our students.
Pictured below are students from Mrs. Levan's class enjoying time with a few of these fun visitors.

The 10th-grade students at St. Charles High School had the opportunity to take a field trip to the Zekelman Holocaust Museum in Farmington Hills. During this visit, the students learned about the detailed events of the Holocaust, as well as the individuals and groups who resisted the Nazis and anti-Semitic actions. This field trip was funded by a grant from the Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation.






March is reading month, and it is in full swing at St. Charles Elementary School. On Wednesdays in March, the dog trainers of St. Charles Elementary will visit classrooms to read a dog-themed book. Students in Ms. Poletti and Mrs. Lemaire's classes had so much fun kicking off this activity this week 📚🐾♥️

A couple of weeks ago, St. Charles Elementary students practiced their jumping skills by becoming jump-rope ninjas!
Students had two minutes to see how many jumps they could get in a row! They showed so much perseverance as jumping rope can be very difficult! Way to go, Bulldog jumpers!

11th-grade students at St. Charles High School are building a strong academic vocabulary in preparation for the SAT this April. To showcase their learning, they created a bulletin board in the hallway featuring one-pagers on accountability. They reflected on what accountability means to them as learners, how it influences our classrooms, and how it will support their success as they approach their senior year. We are proud of their insightful reflections and commitment to growth!
Enjoy a "serious" picture alongside a "fun" one (as requested by the students) to highlight some of the participants in this project.
