There was something truly special about seeing our football field filled with families, blankets, books, laughter, and little readers enjoying time together under the stadium lights!
And let's not forget the STAR of the evening… KEVIN! 👽💚 Our favorite alien was quite the celebrity, stopping for pictures and making memories with our students!

I want to make you aware of an incident involving one of our district buses yesterday evening as it was returning from the girls' volleyball game at Swan Valley.
The bus was transporting our JV and varsity volleyball players back to St. Charles when, while traveling southbound on M-52 approximately three miles from the school, it was involved in an accident with a tractor pulling a grain cart that was partially in the roadway. Due to an oncoming vehicle traveling northbound, the bus driver did not have the option to safely swerve into the opposite lane to avoid the cart.
Local Village Police and a Saginaw County Sheriff's Deputy responded to the scene. Thankfully, no injuries were reported at the scene. All students were safely transported back to St. Charles Community Schools.
As a superintendent, there is nothing more important to me than the safety and well-being of our students and staff. I know that hearing about an accident involving a school bus can be concerning for parents and families, and I want you to know that our students were cared for and safely returned to school.
We are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement, the professionalism of our transportation staff, and everyone who assisted at the scene.
We appreciate your continued trust and support as we work every day to provide a safe environment for our students and staff.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the St. Charles Community Schools Central Office at 989-865-9961.
Thank you for your continued support of our students, our staff, and the St. Charles Community School District.
Ron Stanley
Superintendent
St. Charles Community Schools
