Hello Eagles. Just a couple of housekeeping items to keep in mind for when we return from Spring Break. I told students this morning that we will be cracking down on the non-uniform compliant socks and gum chewing. I have purchased uniform compliant socks, and when we see a student wearing non-uniform compliant socks, they will be handed an approved pair to change into, and families will be billed $3 per pair. Spring break gives students time to organize their sock drawers into non-uniform compliant and uniform compliant socks, which are unembellished white, gray, black, or navy OR CSSE logo socks that have been sold by the school in past. No brand logos permitted.

In regard to gum chewing - it shouldn't happen on campus at all, but two warnings will be given. A third violation will result in suspension. We have far too much gum in mouths during mass and stuck to the floor when gum chewing is not permitted.

When we return to school on Monday, March 24th, we will be heading in the last quarter! This is a time to finish strong. Spring events to look forward to include Fine Arts Night, CGSAA Track Meet, 8th grade graduation events, and more. Our annual SALT Day of Service comes up first on April 4th, and it's one of my favorite days of the school year. Please make sure that if you have not turned in your child's permission slip for their SALT trip (2nd Grade+) please do so as soon as school resumes on the 24th.

Please pray for the strength and healing of Kindergarten teacher Jen Taylor as she begins to receive treatment for her cancer diagnosis. | Please pray for Mrs. Hutchison's husband, Joe, who is home and continuing to heal. | Please pray for Mrs. Smith's mother who is ill. | Please pray for Nora Blevin's aunt, Jennifer, who is receiving treatment for cancer. | Please pray for Coach K's niece, Saylor, as she continues to fight through a rare muscle disorder. | Please pray for Coach K's dad who is battling cancer, and approaching the end of his chemo treatments.

Blessed Stanley Rother, pray for us now, and intercede on behalf of those in need of God's healing.

If you would like to include something in the Prayer Requests section, please contact Kim Hattaway at media@steugeneschool.org.
