Envelopes are coming home in backpacks today to place orders for Class Pictures. We will have Class Picture Day on Wednesday, April 14th. PreK and 8th grade get to dress up. Kinder-7th grade need to be in Dress/Mass Uniforms. The plan is that each class will take their group picture in Ross Hall with masks off for the 1-2 minutes it takes for the photographers to capture the photo. Students will be posed with a little more space between them than normal, and doors will be open in Ross Hall to provide more ventilation and fresh air. If you do NOT want your child to unmask for the photo, please let your student AND your student's teacher know ahead of time. Envelopes for orders are due back to the teacher by April 14th.

Our St. Eugene Catholic Church & School Annual Gala is NEXT WEEK! Check out the invitation, register for your bidder number or a sponsorship, and prepare to “camp” out with us during the online auction on Saturday, April 17th! Register by April 16th.

ATTEND: Invitations have been shared via ClassTag, social media and Flocknotes. Please share the link with anyone you know who might want to help support St. Eugene and get a chance at winning some awesome items!

WINE: Donate bottles of wine for the wine pull. Please make sure the value of the wine is $25 or more! Bottles may be dropped off at the church office anytime during office hours until April 15th.

RAFFLE SALES: While we held onto last year’s raffle tickets, we still have more to sell! Students brought home raffle tickets to sell a few weeks ago. For every 10 tickets sold, their name goes into the pot for a drawing held right before the Gala. Top drawn name wins a Nintendo Switch, Top seller gets $100 cash and random drawn name for 3rd place gets $50 cash! The drawing will take place on April 17th, so all stubs, money and unsold tickets must be returned to the church/school office or classroom teacher by April 15th

After Easter, we will begin allowing parents/guardians to sign up to attend school masses in limited numbers. Because our school mass is closed to non-school related guests at this time, you MUST sign up on the sign up link by 5pm the day BEFORE the mass you want to attend. We will have someone checking off names and taking temperatures in the narthex before mass.

School mass guests MUST sit in the central back rows behind the students. If you would like your student to sit with you in the back, that is fine. Wait at the narthex door for the class to arrive, and let the teacher know your student is sitting with you.

Parents whose children have a part in the mass that day must also sign up using the slots marked “Reservation for class parents”. Your child must sit with the class. Parents who attend mass should stay and participate in the mass. Please follow all COVID-19 protocols.
