CSSE Families:

Fall is here, and it's going to feel like it for sure at Trunk or Treat this evening! Remember to send your kiddos to school with appropriate clothing for Oklahoma's changeable weather. Students will be outside everyday as long as it's not raining and the temperature "feels like" is above freezing. Warm weather items worn INSIDE the building must be our uniform logo items or unembellished as described in our dress code -- no hoodies, non-uniform pullovers, etc. Sweatshirt orders should be in and on their way home as early as next week!

Our first $5 free dress Friday was a success! The funds raised will benefit our safety efforts! We recently wrote a submission and were awarded the OK School Safety and Security Grant to help fund window security film for all of our glass entries. This is a HUGE award and we are thrilled to be able to add this layer of protection for our school.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, support, food, gift cards, emails, etc. Every bit of it is felt and comforts the pain I am enduring with my leg and the new way of living at the moment. I am going to be recovering at home a bit longer, likely through next week after I have my doctor follow up. I am working from home on operational tasks, upcoming parent meetings, and day to day things. I miss seeing our students and staff!

Mrs. Hall has been leading our team and school beautifully while I am home and consults with me often. Her school admin experience has been a true blessing to our school and comfort to me. My extended leadership team, Mrs. Hattaway, Mrs. Mason, Mrs. Ison, Dep. Dang, and the office staff, Mrs. Patrick, Mrs. Metz, and Mrs. Schoppa have really kept the school functioning as always.

We have rescheduled our OK Parental Choice Tax Credit meetings. Please plan to attend either meeting on Sunday, Nov. 12th at 3pm in Ross Hall or Wednesday, Nov. 15th at 8:15am in Ross Hall. Please note the application process now begins in December instead of November. Further information can also be found on the Oklahoma Tax Commission website by following this link: https://oklahoma.gov/tax/helpcenter/income-tax.html

Our SALT Food drive continues through Friday, November 3rd @ 9:30 a.m. Please join us in being the hands of Jesus that feed hungry people in our community.

Our goal this year is to collect 4,333 lbs. of food! The winning team will receive a free dress day, date TBA. Students should place donations in the bag marked with their team’s names. We are about a quarter of the way to our goal with about 1,068 pounds collected. Please stock up on items to donate if you are out and about at stores this weekend!

*50 lb. or similar giant bags will not be counted toward team goals this year.

*Most needed items are: peanut butter, canned tuna, chicken, salmon, beans, soup, fruits, and vegetables. No glass jars please.

Current Team Standings:

5th place - Kateri - 80 lbs

4th place - Drexel - 152 lbs

3rd place - Patrick - 252 lbs

2nd place - Aquinas - 268 lbs

1st place - Francis - 316 lbs

Thursday, November 9th - All Veterans and Active Duty family members of our St Eugene students are invited to attend 8:15 Mass and a reception afterward in Ross Hall. Our 8th grade students are hosting this very special annual event as part of their SALT focus study for the year. Please RSVP to Nathan Blagg at nblagg@steugeneschool.org by November 6th. Please RSVP with the guests name and the name of the Saint Eugene student (with grade level) they are related to.

CSSE alums, Alex Tran (senior), Oliva Metz (junior), and Kiona Wadmia (freshman) were a part of the Bishop McGuiness volleyball team that won the 5A state championship last weekend. Congratulations!

Mrs. Hall welcomed a new grandbaby last week! It's her first precious girl after having all boys herself, followed by three grandsons! The whole family is happy and doing well.
