A Note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
We will begin our 2nd-5th Enrichment Clusters next week! This week, students got to view a menu of cluster slides, then vote for their top 3 choices. Every student will be placed in one of their top 3, and we guarantee that they will have the opportunity to dive into a new area of interest. When you student comes homes after clusters next Wednesday, talk to them about theirs, and ask them what they think they can discover!
Thank you PTO!
Thank you for hosting another fun event, PTO! Our campus was such a joy to behold as friends had fun trick or treating at all the awesome trunks our parents put together!
You may view photos from the event here. For privacy's sake, please refrain from sharing or posting any photos that include students other than your own children.
Veterans Day Assembly & Reception
Our 8th grade SALT is hosting an assembly for St. Eugene veterans and active duty members on November 11th. Please RSVP with Nathan Blagg. There will be a short reception for veterans and active duty members following the assembly.
Donuts with Dad - Save the Date!
Students Against Hunger Food Drive!
Dear Parents,
This coming Monday, November 4 will be the beginning of 4th grade’s SALT project: the Students Against Hunger Food Drive. This project will allow each of us to take a turn to be the hands of Jesus that feed hungry people in our community.
One in four children in Oklahoma go to bed hungry each night. Our goal this year is to raise 5,555 pounds of food in two weeks. Some of the most needed items are bags of rice or beans, canned meats, and canned vegetables. Please no breakables, perishables, or 50 lb. bags of food.
We ask you to help us in bringing food, starting Monday, November 4 and ending Friday, November 15th. The team with the most weight at the end will receive a FREE DRESS DAY!
Coffee Conversations
Please sign up to join us for a talk about Screenagers on Wednesday, Nov. 13. RSVP bit.ly/csse-coffee-conversations. We will watch the elementary school age edition of the film, then have a short conversation. The movie is 55 minutes long, so we will get started closer to 7:50am. If you need to walk in a little late or leave early, that will be ok! We will be working to bring more screenings from this series to the community throughout the year.
Thanksgiving Lunch With Your Student!
Lunch schedule and RSVP coming soon!
The Book Fair is Coming!
Book Fair opens soon! Please be on the lookout next week for flyers and information about loading e-wallets for cash-free spending. We will have a preview/soft open on Friday, Nov. 15th, then shopping Saturday morning and during the school day Nov. 18-22 until one hour after dismissal.
EC Building Update
The new Early Childhood Center is coming along well! Brickwork around the building’s exterior is nearly complete, and the entry roof is insulated and protected with an underlayer. Major systems are being put in place, including rooftop heating and cooling units, electrical wiring, plumbing, and fire sprinklers. Inside, drywall work is progressing, especially in high-use areas.
Some adjustments are being made to ensure everything is secure and properly finished, such as trimming the roofing around the main entrance window and securing protective covers on the brickwork. We look forward to sharing more updates as the project moves closer to completion!
Eagle Excellence!
Have some good news to share about a student, alumni, or school family? We want to celebrate all your proud moments with you! Share your Eagle Excellence for inclusion in the EE!
