As the 2021-2022 school year comes to a close, I would like to thank the PTO and especially PTO President Laura Thomas for all their hard work this year.

Laura Thomas has led the PTO before, during, and after COVID-19. She has put in countless hours of volunteer time to ensure our North students have had the best events they could throughout her 4 years as PTO President. From Homecomings to Post Proms to the Senior BBQ's, Laura and her team of volunteers have helped create memories our students, staff and community will remember for a lifetime.

Laura is the parent of a current senior and as she moves into her next phase of volunteering, please join me in saying THANK YOU to her for her spirit, creativity, and her gift of time to Saint Charles North.

Everyone is invited to attend our 20th annual Jazz Showcase at the Q Center in St Charles on Friday May 20th. It's a fantastic evening that features all of SCN's Vocal and Instrumental Jazz Groups along with special guests the Chamber Orchestra! Tickets can be purchased here. Don't delay, get your tickets today!
