Our library’s fundraiser, the Scholastic Book Fair, returns November 13-18! While we intend to keep shopping limited to students and staff during the school day, Mrs. Hattaway will offer opportunities for parents to visit the book fair outside of school hours in addition to offering online shopping. Be on the lookout for sign up links to come in ClassTag and the EE. Don’t forget to set up an ewallet for your students to limit the need to send cash to school! (Or contribute to a teacher's or the library)! It’s incredibly easy, and Mrs. Hattaway loves it so much more than counting change. Looking forward to growing our students’ love of reading!

Help support our St. Eugene 8th Grade Class by purchasing CSSE spiritwear eagle hats and the ever-popular, super durable trash bags! Proceeds from this hat and trash bag sale will help the CSSE 8th Grade Class pay for their year-end trip to Camp Classen as well as the traditional class gift to the school and/or parish.

Orders and payments are due by Friday, November 19th.

Calm Waters Counseling: If your student is going through any of the following losses: Death, Divorce, Foster Care & Adoption, Military, Deployment, Incarceration, and Deportation, they are eligible to receive counseling services through Calm Waters. Families must sign up on their own using the school address, and we must reach a certain number of student service requests for Calm Waters to contact us to set up a school group at our location. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Goga - tgoga@steugeneschool.org. The continued goal of all student support groups is to teach children coping skills that they will utilize for the rest of their lives. Register here (or Spanish version).

Our 4th Grade SALT program is hosting their annual all school food drive now through Friday, Nov. 5th. Please help the 4th grade reach their goal of collecting 4,000 lbs of food by bringing non-perishable food items to help stock the shelves for the OK Regional Food Bank. As of this Friday, our team totals stand at:

Kateri: 328.6 lbs
Francis: 277.6 lbs
Drexel: 98.6 lbs
Patrick: 97.2 lbs
Aquinas: 82.9 lbs ... Total: 885 lb!

We have one more week to meet our goal! All food must be in team boxes by 9:10am on Nov. 5th to be counted as part of the competition for a free dress day! Please make sure that items will not expire soon, and make an effort to send food that you would also like to eat. No glass or homemade items. Thank you!

Upcoming Eat & Earns - Always mention St. Eugene when you order so we get a donation back to the school. Thank you, and don’t forget to spread the word to family and friends! Have an idea for an Eat and Earn or school fundraiser? Email us at pto@steugeneschool.org!

• November 3 at Ted's on N. May from 5pm-close
