Chess Team Registration Now Open: Do your kids love chess or want to learn how to play chess? Join the St. Charles School Chess Team as players of all levels are welcome. Chess is a team sport as well as an individual sport. Our team meets about twice a month on Wednesday evenings from 6-7:15 p.m. in the Instructional Meeting Center (IMC). All students in 1st-8th grades are welcome. We welcome students from St. Charles Parish School, students attending public or other private schools, and home-schooled students. The only requirement is that the students are St. Charles parishioners. Long-time chess instructor Chris Seaman, who is well-known in the local chess community, will coach the team. The first team meeting is Wednesday, November 13. We welcome new and returning players. Email Christina Holmes for more information and to register.

Jingle Shop Update: Laurie DeAngelis and her team are coordinating our Jingle Shop this year! Instead of having one class run the program as a fundraiser, Laurie has offered to run this as an all-school fundraiser. The money raised from this year's shop will be used to purchase a water bottle filling station that will be installed outside the gym. The team is in need of new items for the Jingle Shop. Please consider donating an item so we have enough gifts for all of the kids to purchase treasures for their loved ones. There will be a bin in the office to collect small gifts. The team is looking for things such as bath/body care products, hair and nail accessories, jewelry, candles, tools, stationery, small toys, stuffed animals, books, kitchen items (utensils, towels, oven mitts), etc. They also need bags (gift, or even brown or white large lunch bags), tissue paper, and ribbon for wrapping. All items will be priced $5 or less.
