Hello STC families,
Today, Tuesday, April 15th there was an incident in the old middle school (Thurston building), in an SISD self contained classroom that required to be addressed by the St. Charles Police Department. STC students and staff were not in that part of the district at the time of the incident. Please be advised that the safety and security of our students and staff were not compromised during the incident.
If you have any questions, please contact Interim Superintendent, Sarah Kettelhohn at Kettelhohns@stccs.org or 989-865-9961.
Thanks and have a great night.
Students in grades 7-12 had the opportunity to learn more about careers in the Sagianw Region. There were over 33 different career representatives available to meet with students and answer questions about the various parts of their careers, including topics such as daily job duties, education requirements, salary, and the best part of their jobs. Some representatives included STC graduates, parents, community members, and new community members with whom we could form a partnership.
Thank you to all who participated, and a huge thanks to Mrs. Sandy Hart and her team for organizing this event for our students.

St. Charles hosted their annual Student Professional Development Day. This is a time for students to learn more about "life skills" that may not be taught every day in school. Students were able to attend three sessions. The session choices included: Credit Scores, Investing Money, Healthy Desserts, Juggling, Yoga, Event Planning, Plant-Based Meals, CPR, Fire Safety, Budgeting, Cookie Decorating, Stress Management, Babysitting Basics, Electrical Basics, and Engine Mechanics. The sessions were taught by volunteers from the community. Thank you to all who participated in this fun, educational day. Our students had a great time.
Thank you to our high school students who met with our eighth-grade students to help “ease the transition” to high school. Our high school students talked about the new opportunities that high school offers and answered any questions that our eighth graders had.
From being a Bulldog to learning about the Bulldogs, students in grades 9-12 took a field trip to Ferris State University to learn about all of the programs that Ferris has to offer. Ferris is one of the few universities that offers associate degrees all the way to doctorate degrees. Go, Bulldogs!!
Thank you to Mr. Wicke and our middle school band for taking the time to play Happy Birthday to Mrs. Kushion. What a wonderful surprise and a delight to hear!

STC fourth-grade students focused on still lifes to craft these stunning fruit bowls. They incorporated black and white patterns alongside their colorful fruits to enhance the contrast.
STC Young 5s and Kindergartners explored the abstract art of Jasper Johns while creating their own pieces. While Jasper incorporated the alphabet into his work, we focused on our names. We then applied a wax resist technique to introduce color. Can you spot their names?

The STC 3rd-5th grade students are getting ready for spring break by packing the car! They have been working on overlapping, details, and avoiding floating objects.
Mrs. Stephen's 1st- 2nd grade students studied the artist Laurel Burch. Burch created all types of art using her famous cats. Students used wax resist by drawing lines and patterns with crayons and painting over them with watercolor. The crayons protected the paper from the water, allowing their drawings to show through. By the looks of the photo, the project was a success!
