Our Mission
November 15th, students will be walking, trotting, and shaking their tail feathers for all to see. There will be music and fun, but no fowl play as they trot around the upper yard to reach our goal of $112,000. May everyone activate their feast mode as they dash to friends and family, feeling thankful as they strut their stuffin’. Please donate today!
Walk-a-thon, or Turkey Trot, is intended to raise funds to help support St. Charles School. Tuition covers about 85% of our schools operating costs annually. Help us close the gap and raise funds for the programs, operations and supplies our school needs to be successful.
It costs about $13,000 just to EDUCATE a student. Then there are other costs and improvements needed. Tuition is $11,038 this year. That difference is where our fundraising efforts come in.
Let's all come together to support St. Charles and give the community pumpkin’ to talk about.
Bread-y or not, here we crumb!
