A Note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
Hello St. Eugene families,
Here we are at the end of the school year. Your children have grown so much this year, physically, academically, and spiritually. We are looking forward to a full last week of school!
Our 8th grade class will be graduating this evening and marking the occasion with a traditional graduation celebration and mass. This 8th grade class has been such a joy to know over the past six years. They each embody qualities that exude love of Christ and love of others. Their families have also been such a wonderful group of people to know and partner with at CSSE.
Remember to wear red to mass this weekend for Pentecost!
Faith Forward,
Mrs. Goldsworthy

Teachers and staff have also added items to this task list. If there is something you would like to help with on the task list, please enter your name and email, then contact the staff member listed for task details.

Yearbooks
If you ordered a yearbook for your student, your charge was added to your FACTS account this past week unless you already turned in cash or check. Yearbooks will go to classroom teachers this coming week, and will be distributed prior to the yearbook signing on Thursday. There are a very limited number of extra books, and it will be first come, first served with $25 payment in hand. To purchase one of the extra books, students should bring money to Mrs. Hattaway. Students who do not purchase a yearbook will be offered a signature page for gathering signatures during our yearbook signing on Thursday.
Chromebooks for Sale
We have decommissioned some of our oldest student Chromebooks and are offering them for sale. They are being sold as is, no tech support. The models for sale are Dell Chromebooks 11 - 3180 from 2018. These models no longer receive updates, and while they function, there is evident wear and tear. May have keys that stick a little and decreased battery life. May function better with a USB or Blueooth mouse. Will come with a charger. Still good for basic internet browsing and accessing Google Drive. You may reserve one for $25 cash or check to CSSE. Email Mrs. Hattaway - media@steugeneschool.org.
