The Catholic School of St. Eugene is selling Christmas poinsettias and wreaths to help raise money for our school service program, SALT. These flowers and wreaths are just gorgeous! Place an order online at bit.ly/christmas-salt-24. Poinsettias (red, pink, or white) are $16 each and wreaths are $46 each.

All orders and payment are due to the school office by NOON October 28th. Many families collect payment from their friends and family via Venmo or CashApp, then place a single bulk order (listing themselves as pick up contact) and write one check out to the school. Poinsettias and wreaths will be available for pick up at St. Eugene church late November/early December. We will contact customers with the exact location and time. If you have questions, please contact Colleen de Keratry: cdekeratry@gmail.com
