The Borromeo Bulletin - #24
Home of the Bobcats: February 28, 2021
From Dr. Voelkl
If you have a child in Kindergarten through Fifth grade they were given a copy of their latest AIMS web assessment to take home on Friday. If you did not receive a copy it could still potentially be buried in the depths of their backpack or not quite made its way into their folder. Our middle school students will receive a copy of their results this coming week to share as well. When looking through these reports PLEASE remember that their purpose is to check on the continued growth of our students in math and reading but also to examine our programming in these areas. It is VERY important to note that this is just one data point and in our setting these results are combined with multiple data points to gain an overall picture of each child's growth and progress. While I believe data is important, I also believe it is important to balance it with our overall knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of each child. Some do not do well when timed on assessments. Some LOVE the adrenaline rush of being the first to finish. We will continue to meet each of our students where they are and work hard to push them toward new levels of success. THANK YOU for continuing to share them with us!
Blessings,
Dr. Voelkl

Raffle Tickets for the Auction
Dinner Auction
Dear Borromeo Friends & Family,
As you reflect on the past year, we sure know it has been a different one and as we move into 2021 we are doing our best to plan forward into our St. Charles Borromeo Communities future. Through the tough and even the best times the great news is St. Charles Borromeo Parish continues to grow, and our school has earned a reputation for providing a rigorous academic education in addition to a balanced moral and religious upbringing. Now more than ever, we need your help to continue the traditions of community and academic excellence.
To support our parish and renowned school, the St. Charles Borromeo Parish will be hosting a virtual auction event, “Havana Nights” on Saturday, April 17, 2021. This event is our biennial fundraiser, and we hope that with your support, our parish can continue to support growing families and minds.
With previous St. Charles Borromeo auctions, we have also been able to support the church and parishioners in many different philanthropic needs, in addition to supporting a technology and security fund, which allowed the school to purchase new equipment for the Stem classroom, video technology for all classrooms and enhanced security through the inside and outside of the building. We are also excited to launch our Capital Campaign for the School and Parish expansion.
As a strong supporter of our parish and school, we would love the opportunity to showcase you with a sponsorship or donation to the auction. Your presence and donation will help generate buzz, and hopefully some strong bidding wars to support St. Charles Borromeo!
Please join me in our continued effort to educate the future leaders and support our families in the St. Charles community.
Below are the opportunities we have for sponsorships starting at $100 up to $5000. We have also included the link to purchase tickets to attend the festivities in the comfort of your own home. Please feel free to ask any questions to borromeoevents@gmail.com or taraleighbartlett@gmail.com
We look forward to having you join us and/or joining us as a sponsor. Sincerely, Jill Kesler & Carrie Hodapp - Auction 2021 Co-Chairs
