Prayer to the Guardian Angels
Throughout this month, it's good for us to pray the Guardian Angel Prayer: "Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen."

Uniform Reminder from Mr. Belk: Charlotte Catholic relaxed the dress code this year by not requiring Land's End shorts and pants. Students have been asked to wear the appropriate length shorts. The dress code states that shorts must be to the knee. There have been announcements over the last few weeks at school as friendly reminders, and students violating the dress code may be asked to purchase appropriate length shorts. STUDENTS - if you want to continue to wear shorts of your choice, please follow the dress code which can be found by clicking here Dress Code and is always at the bottom of The Catholic Daily.

Please help us by visiting the Online Store. Double check your account that you contributed and if not, please consider donating. If ever there was a time to celebrate our teachers and our kids, it is now. Thank you!
