Note from Dr. Mullenschlader
I am so proud of the Speech and Drama Club for their production of the Wizard of Oz. Under the direction and leadership of Mrs. Schwartze and Mrs. Higgins these young women and men performed a fun, heart-felt, and light-hearted play for the school, parents, and guests. They worked so hard to accomplish this and their hard-work paid off. Great job!
As we continue to celebrate the Easter season, the time we share together this year is slowly coming to a close. We have about one month left of school and quite a number of really big events happening. We have the 4th Grade Science Fair this Friday, we have the Spring Concert on April 26th, First Communion, 8th grade Camp, Field Day, Virtue Mass (Prayerfulness) with Noon Dismissal, 8th grade events, May Crowning, and all of the end of the year events. Stay tuned to the school calendar for updates.
Have a blessed weekend!

Virtue of the Month
Prayerfulness
Our virtue of the month for April is prayerfulness, which is means being still, listening, and being willing to talk to God as a friend.

St. Charles Borromeo Community Information and Links
Monthly Children's Mass
Dear St. Charles Borromeo School Families,
We are excited to announce a heartwarming initiative to strengthen our school community's
spiritual bond - the Monthly Children's Mass! The next Children’s Mass will be held on
Sunday, April 21st, at 11 a.m., with our seventh-grade students hosting Mass at St. Charles
Borromeo Parish. By actively participating in the various parts of the Mass (Liturgy of the Word,
Liturgy of the Eucharist) our students will experience firsthand the sacredness of the Mass. Each
month will be hosted by a different grade. We invite all families to attend this special Children’s
Mass and show your support as our children deepen their understanding of our faith. Let’s come
together as a school family to celebrate faith, love, and unity. We look forward to seeing you
there.
