St. Charles High School Swimming and Bowling Schedules
Mr. King Teaches STC Students Woodworking.
Students start with the basics. They learn safety first. Beginners are then taught the foundation of woodworking and then as their skills increase they are encouraged to make more advanced projects. It is fun to see their creativity and skills improve.
Enjoy the long weekend with your family.
Advanced Woods student Carter Fritz proudly displays his gaming station holder. Nice work Carter!

The Broadcasting class had the opportunity to take a field trip to Delta College to learn more about the broadcasting program that Delta College offers. Students were able to use the equipment and simulate a live broadcast. Thank you Mrs. Short for organizing this fun and educational field trip.
Attention Elementary Families
The Can Council presented two lessons to the 6th graders last week. They covered sensitive but important topics on personal and digital safety. The students learned how important it is to avoid sharing their personal information and about using technology appropriately. They learned about spotting red flags, finding a safe adult, and speaking up when and if the need arises. The students received bookmarks with safety rules and resources as well.
Reminder!
The awards for the elementary Fun Run Fundraiser are being delivered. Sutton, Charlotte, and RJ were some of the top donors and as a reward, they were given a requested "gator" ride around the district by staff. Mr. Benson and Ms. Schlager accompanied the students on the beautiful November day. We hope they enjoyed their ride and congratulations to Sutton, Charlotte, and RJ for their generous donations.
It's a lovely day in the neighborhood as a new bus pulls up to the district! This bus is the first of two new buses we are adding to our current bus fleet (another bus is arriving next week). Superintendent Mark Benson and Transportation Director Brad Lorencz are smiling bigger than usual today!

Veteran Duane Schultz plays Taps at Friday's assembly it was beautiful. Thank you Duane. Words to Taps
(Note: there are no "official" words to Taps but the most popular Taps Lyrics are below)
The day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake, from the skies.
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, may the soldier
or sailor, God keep. On the land or the deep, Safe in sleep.
Love, good night, must thou go,
when the day, and the night need thee so?
All is well. Speedeth all To their rest.
Fades the light;
And afar Goeth day,
And the stars Shineth bright,
Fare thee well;
Day has gone, night is on.
Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars, 'Neath the sky,
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
These tap lyrics are the most popular, however, several adaptions have been created.

The St. Charles Band has been having Veteran Concerts for several years now and in 2022, an assembly was added to educate students on what Veterans Day is and why we celebrate it. Two students sang "God Bless America" and it was amazing. Great job Carly and Alex and the band for such a beautiful rendition
