Henry's Hope
Hear the Hope is a non-profit organization that helps families who need assistance paying medical expenses. Henry wanted to help the families of other children who are sick, so he was excited to work with his Music Therapist from Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Nathan Mensah, in recording "Hold On", a song dedicated to Henry. Henry played the floor tom drum on the song while Nathan handled the vocals and keyboard. You can listen to it online or download for a donation.

Fish n' Chips Planning Meeting
This year's Fish n' Chips is really turning out to be an incredible event! If you'd like to help be a part of the magic - we can use you! Our next planning meeting will be this Sunday, February 4th, at 12:00pm in the cafeteria. You've already planned your Super Bowl Party, now come help plan St Charles' biggest party of the year!
CYO Track
Did you run track in high school? Throw shot/discuss? High/long jump? We're looking for volunteers willing to help coach CYO Track this year! We are in need of a head coach and specialty coaches. The commitment is only two nights a week. We don't need you to take on the scheduling, track access, etc. - this can all be handled. If you have any questions on the commitment, you can contact Scott Hornick at  937-428-7295 . We really need additional volunteer help to offer St Charles CYO Track this year, so please consider volunteering if you can.

ATTENTION ALL SCOUTS!
We will be having our annual Scout Mass on Sunday February 11th at the 9:00am Mass. All Cub, Boy and Girl scouts and leaders are invited to come to this Mass in their uniform. At the end of Mass, we will be recognizing three young men who will be receiving their Parvuli Dei medals. Questions? Contact Heather Dunn:  hdunn@stcharles-kettering.org

4th Grade News!
The 4th grade welcomed Three CJ seniors to inform our students on the over population of animals. They talked about adopting pets, spaying and neutering, and how God wants everyone to take care of His creations. The students created posters, and the top 5 will be hung up at SICSA and win a prize. They incorporated math, religion and art into the lesson. They did a great job!
SAVE THE DATE!!   
St. Charles Bible Camp is coming June 18-22, 2018, from 9 am to noon. We are looking for campers (grades K-6), teen and adult helpers, and teachers. It's a great way to have fun with your friends while learning about Jesus' great love for us! Registration begins in March, so mark your calendars!
