St. Charles 10th-grade students visited the Saginaw Career Complex this week to explore the many career pathways available to them. During the visit, students learned about a wide range of hands-on programs and training opportunities.
Students may enroll in Saginaw Career Complex beginning their junior year as part of their high school education. These programs help students develop valuable job skills, leadership abilities, and real-world experience while preparing them for future careers or continued education.

The St. Charles Elementary 6th graders are learning about Africa in geography class and reading about the amazing William Kamkwamba, from Malawi, Africa.
William used bicycle parts, materials from the junkyard, and Gum trees to create a working turbine that produced electricity for his family. He then built additional wind turbines and a water pump that supplied drinking water to his village.
After discussing William's perseverance and ingenuity, the students were challenged with building their own working windmills from a bag of supplies today. They had to create a windmill and then use a fan to see if it worked. If it didn't work, the students had to brainstorm why and make some changes. The students worked hard, cooperated with one another, and demonstrated creativity and problem-solving skills.

Hello! My name is Pete Brissette, and I am excited to be the new fifth-grade teacher at St. Charles Elementary.
Over the past few years, I have worked as a substitute teacher in the district and have also enjoyed coaching youth football and baseball. While attending Saginaw Valley State University, I completed a full school-year student teaching in a fourth-grade classroom at St. Charles Elementary. It was an incredible experience, and I learned so much. I have since completed my studies and am thrilled to be returning to this school as a full-time teacher. Prior to beginning my second career in education, I spent over 20 years working in manufacturing, supply chain, and logistics management.
I grew up in Standish, Michigan, and graduated from Standish-Sterling Central High School. My wife and I enjoy spoiling our dog, Dany, who will be nine years old this summer. We also love spending time with our many nieces and nephews and cheering them on at their school activities. Outside of school, I enjoy playing golf and attending St. Charles Bulldogs athletic events. I am very grateful for this opportunity and proud to be a Bulldog!

On Friday, January 16, 2026, Mr. Wicke and his St. Charles high school jazz band hit the road to showcase their skills in preparation for their 26th Annual Winter Ball, held on January 17th. One of the stops the band made along the way was at our elementary school. The elementary students were in awe of the talent, and the performance effectively promoted the band program to the younger students in the district. Everyone had a great time during the experience.
Ms. St. John's, St. Charles High School ELA 11th-grade students recently explored the power of persuasion by creating propaganda posters that highlight the positive aspects of our school. This creative project served as a hands-on introduction to Animal Farm by George Orwell, helping students see how language and imagery can influence beliefs. As they begin the novel, students are already thinking critically about how messages shape power and perspectives, as seen in some of their creations.
Reminder...School will resume on Tuesday, January 20, 2026!
