Mardi Gras
 

Bonjour Charlemagne Families!

The crisp autumn air (and rain) has officially settled in around Charlemagne Elementary! Just like the weather outside, sometimes a little chilly, sometimes bright with unexpected sun, our days together are full of changing moments.

This season is a wonderful reminder that while the air gets cooler, we have the chance to share warmth and kindness with one another. A smile in the hallway, a helping hand in the classroom, or a simple moment of patience can be like a ray of sunshine on a cool day for a classmate or a staff member.

We are truly grateful for the opportunity to share these days, big and small, with all of you and your children. Thank you for being such a supportive and engaged part of the Charlemagne family.

Warmly,

Mme Poppy

Closed during school hours.
Open after school until 11 p.m..
