A Note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
Thank you for joining us at our Curriculum Nights this week. We appreciate your taking time out to partner with us to ensure your child has the best education, and that we as educators, families, and students, all feel supported.
We will be starting fall assessments this coming week. It is vital that your student be present, well-rested, and has had a good, healthy breakfast.
Eagle Run
The Eagle Run is a huge fundraising opportunity for our school, as well as a fun community event! How can you help?
CREATE YOUR FUNDRAISING PAGE: Currently we have only 65 students registered for the fundraising portion of our Eagle Run. Remember, there is no registration fee for students and families to attend this year, so please sign up your child for a fundraising page, and share with family and friends! Every donation helps our school! There are prizes for students and classes who raise the most money!
ORDER EAGLE RUN SHIRTS: bit.ly/EagleRunShirt24 (Orders close SUNDAY, August 25th)
SEEKING SPONSORS: We are also making one last call for sponsors. If you, your family, or any business owners you know might want to sponsor the run, please have them reach out to our Eagle Run chair, Connie Heinen, by August 26th!
The Eagle Run is Saturday morning, September 7th at CSSE!
3rd-8th Academic Bowl
Academic Bowl is a great opportunity for 3rd-8th students to pull from all their knowledge and compete in a quiz show style setting through OAAC (OK Assoc. for Academic Competition). 3rd-4th grade will compete online while 5th-8th grade teams compete in person at local schools. Teams will begin weekly practices with volunteer coaches in late September/October. Click AcBo Registration for more details and to sign up or volunteer!

Time & Talent Opportunities
Use your GREEN Thumb for Time & Talent!
Sign up to be a part of the St. Fiacre Society at St. Eugene! Pick a spot to beautify this fall or spring. Your volunteer time and every $10 spent counts toward family Time & Talent requirements.
Turf the Ga-Ga Ball Pit!
We need some help repurposing our old playground turf for the ga-ga ball pit. The old turf is currently sitting in the SE corner of the parking lot (near basketball goals). It needs to be moved into the pit, tucked under the walls, then trimmed. If a team of dads would like to do it this weekend, please let Mrs. Hattaway know. Otherwise, we will schedule a morning during the week.
Check Your School Status Settings

2) Check your Settings (click your profile icon, then the gear) and Communication Preferences
3) If you have multiple students, but you aren't receiving the same types of communication, check that you have the same communication methods for all students (same phone numbers, emails, etc).
