Some things to report on the web site:

We have activated all accounts on the web site that people have created.  Feel free to log in and look around.

We have also learned that our drop down menu system does not work with Internet Explorer 6.  If you are forced to use Internet Explorer 6 because your work computer requires it, we will be fixing the site site for you.  You will be able to click on a menu item and a page will load with all the submenus to click on.  Right now, the only one that will work is About the School.  We should have the rest of the menus fixed by the end of next week.

Most modern browsers other than Internet Explorer 6 (IE 7, 8, any version of Firefox, Safari or Chrome) should work fine on the site.

We have posted some photos of the 2009 Basket Auction.  As with all photos, you will need to login to the site to view them.  Click on the Photos button in the menu bar to see them once you have logged in.

All accounts as of today have been approved.

Do you need a night out away from all the hustle and bustle?  Would you like to spend some time with your girlfriends shopping, talking and just catch up on things?  

St. Charles Home & School Association is hosting a “Mom’s Night Out”

Vendors such as Avon, Mary Kay, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef, Lia Sophia, Silpada and many more will be selling their goods in our auditorium just in time for you to do some Christmas shopping or maybe even get something for yourself!

We hope you’ll join us on

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Last evening, the Democratic Members of the House Rules Committee, along party lines, adopted an amendment to HB 1531 that proposes an enormous cut to Pennsylvania‘s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) including a specific cut to the vital scholarship portion of the Program of $17.38 million.

It is essential for the House of Representatives, which may consider the legislation as early as today, to understand the impact of this legislation on more than 15,000 needy families and children attending non-public schools and to overwhelmingly reject this unconscionable piece of legislation. 

House Bill 1531, as amended, will cut the entire EITC Program by $24.75 million and will reduce scholarships for children enrolled in K-12 by $14.74 million as well as scholarships for children attending Pre-K schools by an additional $2.64 million. In total, this proposed $17.38 million cut in EITC scholarships, if adopted could devastate the lives of many low-income families and children throughout Pennsylvania. 

In contrast to the amendment only reduces the public school portion of EITC Program by less than half of the proposed cut to the non-public scholarship portion of the Program. In light of the enormous increase agreed to between budget negotiators for public subsidy, this proposed allocation of pain is made even worse. 

Parents and Guardians, we need your help NOW. Please go to this link www. legis.state.pa.us/index.cfm Put in your zip code in the top right hand corner and you will find your local legislators.  Please call, e-mail or write a letter telling them we do not want to see this House Bill 1521 passed.  We deserve to have this monetary help for our children.

Thank you for your support and help, 

Sister Kathleen
