Happy Catholic Schools Week! What an exciting time as we are also celebrating nearly 200 years of both education in St. Charles and Catholic education in the Archdiocese of St. Louis, both of which began with our school.

Many thanks to Mothers’ Club officers Dana Burns (secretary), Jackie Johannesman (president), Jessica Weeks (PCC Liaison), and Ali Harris (treasurer), who presented a check for $9,000 to Dr. Dempf at the Christmas Basket Mass Dec. 21. This amount represents the proceeds from the Mothers’ Club Gently Worn Uniform Sales and Breakfast with Santa event, and will benefit the school’s Sister Anna Mae Marheineke Student Enrichment Fund. (Not shown in the photo is Jeannie Boettler, vice president.)
The Academy is happy to present noted author and speaker Dr. Tim Elmore on Thursday, January 25, at 7 p.m. in Rauch Memorial gym, when he will discuss how parents can lead their kids to succeed in life. All are invited to attend!
Each of the Silver Tea performances last week was a heartwarming and memorable celebration of the season! We are grateful to the children for preparing such beautiful gifts for their parents, grandparents and friends. Special thanks to Little Acorn and Pre-Primary directors Mrs. Van Voorn and Ms. Weiss, Lower School and Middle School Silver Tea Director Laurie Strickland, and their many volunteer helpers for creating these special holiday memories. Merry Christmas!

Anticipation is building for our Silver Tea performances! The children are preparing a very special holiday gift for their loved ones. Dates and times of this year’s performances are:
Friday, December 15 at 7:30 p.m. for Middle School Classes 5–8
Saturday, December 16 at 2 p.m. for Lower School Classes P-4
Fourth Class students, their teacher Ms. Lammert, and some of their family members attended a private screening of the movie “Wonder” at St. Charles 18 Cine recently. Later, the students compared and contrasted the movie with the book, which they had read in October. Wonder is the story of a boy with a very different appearance, who struggles for acceptance in middle school. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Reiser for providing T-shirts that featured an important message from the story: “choose kind.”
In a tradition dating back decades, each Academy family is invited to provide a basket of food for those in need. As we joyfully anticipate Jesus’ birth during Advent, assembling items for a food basket can become special family activity. When P-8 students, faculty, staff, parents, alums and friends gather for CHRISTMAS BASKET MASS on Thursday, Dec. 21 in Rauch Memorial, hundreds of bountiful baskets on the bleachers will illustrate the great generosity of our families. This is a prayerful way to part before the holidays and an opportunity to realize the abundance of our blessings.
