Ms. Shelby Grunas and Ms. Alley Burgess' St. Charles GSRP class made memories and smiled the whole time.
They lit their jack-o'-lantern, Joey, and made Alphabet Witches' Brew...how cool!!
Please share! Apply if you are interested!!!
Ms. Schultz and Mr. Franco helped St. Charles Middle School 7th-grade science students get into the Halloween spirit with a density experiment.
Students mixed vegetable oil, maple syrup, and "bloody water" to see how a liquid's density affected objects dropped into it! Halloween FUN with lots of learning is how this exciting day will be structured.
Happy Halloween, St. Charles Community Schools! Keep an eye out for more pictures throughout the day!

Mrs. Lemaire’s kindergarten classroom welcomed a special visitor, Ms. Brie! Ms. Brie is the mom of two elementary students from our school district and came to talk about the power of kindness. After losing her leg and pinky finger in a motorcycle accident last year, she now walks with a prosthetic.
Mrs. Lemaire’s kindergarteners had many thoughtful questions for Ms. Brie, and we discussed the importance of treating others with the same kindness, respect, and compassion, even when they look different from us. We also learned that instead of high-fives, we give high-fours!
Thank you, Ms. Brie, for sharing and educating our littlest bulldogs on the power of kindness.
