Please note: Our Orientation Evening on June 13th has been cancelled. We realize that June is a very busy month for families, and everyone has time constraints. Please watch for more information coming to you via email on information for the 2024-2025 school year.
Safety Concerns at Pick-Up: When you are picking up your son/daughter at the end of the school day, please do not allow them to climb the chain link fence or climb underneath it. This is extremely dangerous and unsafe. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You are only a click away from helping out St. Charles Catholic School. THANKS to all for your support, Online Fundraising Team
I’m writing to invite you to join the team, Keira’s Krusaders, in support of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. We’d love to have you join the national movement to end brain tumours and to honour the memory of a very special girl, Keira Bond.
This year the Brain Tumour Walk is not organizing an event like last year, so this will just be our Keira Krusader Crew walking to honour and remember the remarkable Keira for a good cause. We will be walking together along Sturgeon Creek, a place Keira enjoyed. We will meet at Grant’s Old Mill at 10:00am on Saturday, June 15th and walk along the path.
Join Our Team!
Please share in this experience by joining our team and by helping to raise money for a worthy cause! Just click on this link: Join Keira’s Krusaders .
If you are not interested in joining the team to walk but would like to learn more about Keira or make a donation, click on the link above as well.Sincerely,
Nancy Froystad
