It was a perfect day in October as the Bulldogs from St. Charles High School showed what amazing young men they really are. In the morning they help Mr. and Mrs. Benson with a food drive held at St. Charles Community Schools. During pre-game of their game against White Pigeon Chiefs they honored veterans, first, with a reception with hot dogs , chips, and water then, the marching band played a tribute medley honoring each branch: The Army, The Navy, The Air Force, The Marines, and The Coast Guard. Veterans were greeted by St. Charles fans as they walked in front of the crowd escorted by the Bulldogs. It was a proud Bulldog moment!! The heart and respect our athletes showed for human life and the value of respecting their freedom was very powerful! America was built on the very sacrifices of those who joined us Saturday and we as a school community salute and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!

On Saturday, the Varsity Football Team assisted Mr. and Mrs. Benson to distribute food during a food give away at St. Charles High School.

If you attended the Military Classic Football Game in Bulldog Stadium on Saturday and noticed a brand new flag flying and several flags placed at each end of the football field, it was the dedication of three St. Charles American Legion Post 468 members, Jay Gardner, Bob Henderson, and Tom Hawley. Thank you guys they added a lot of class to the event!

As a reminder, there is NO SCHOOL for students on Monday, October 3, 2022. Enjoy your day off :)
