Monthly Virtue Recognition: Please come and join us for Mass at 8:00 AM as will recognize those students who demonstrated extraordinary practices of helpfulness in the month of January. Each month we celebrate extraordinary examples of virtues lived by our students. We teach the students that virtues are holy habits that lead us closer to God. The more we practice virtue the closer we get to achieving sainthood. I am so proud of the virtue practices by our students this month. Our students are so helpful that this month was incredibly difficult to choose students who stood out because we had so many deserving students. Great job, Bobcats!

Registration Update: We are currently registering new and existing families. If you are an existing family, we need you to register as soon as possible. We have multiple grades where spots are filling up quickly.

Student Accomplishments: Congratulations to the following students for their publication in the book "Resilience" sponsored by the America Library of Poetry. We are so proud of them and using their creative gifts from God to celebrate literature in this great way:

Elliot Jacobs

Izzy Boock

Ella Shaw

Landon Richards

Maggie Weber

Finley Parker

Hunter Smith

Brendan Woody

Lent is right around the corner! Our parish and school's second largest annual fundraiser are here: the fish fry. As you may recall, when you signed all the back- to- school forms there was a part indicating that working the picnic and the fish fry were expectations for SCB parents to work. Each family is required to work (2) 2 hour shifts during the 6 weeks/Fridays of fish fries. The fish fries are an integral component which allows the parish to help subsidize our school's existence.

While you may work any shift you'd like, we do encourage the grade levels to take various weeks to cover. Please check out the grade level assigned weeks and maybe partner up with another family. Fish fries are a big and fun part of St. Charles Borromeo's fellowship!

Should you have to cancel your shift after you sign up, please find a replacement. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to the committee at scbfishfry@gmail.com or Tammy Buehler, Volunteer Coordinator 314-691-1774. Thank you for helping fill over 400 shifts to make this year's fish fries a success!
