CSSE Food Drive and Competition - Next Week!
CSSE is hosting a Food Drive event and competition from October 29 through November 9! The 4th grade class is leading the food drive as their SALT service project to help feed the hungry. Houses and grades will be combined to form teams. Each team will be collecting non-perishable food items to be donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. For the competition, the team with the most donated items will win a Sonic drink party! Examples of items to donate are:
-canned protein like chicken, tuna, chili, beans, etc.
-dry white or brown rice
-canned vegetables and fruit
-dry pasta and pasta sauces
-boxed cereal
-boxed dinners (mac and cheese, hamburger helper, etc)
-granola bars
Nearly 50 million Americans, including 13 million children, are food insecure. Food drives are an excellent way to make a significant impact in our community!
Dad's Club Scotch & Cigars Event
The Dad's Club from the Catholic School of Saint Eugene Parish will hold our annual Scotch and Cigars event on Friday, November 9th in the backyard of the parish rectory. The event starts at 7 pm.
The primary goal of the evening is fun and fellowship with our parish priests and others who can appreciate a nice dram of Scotch and a cigar.
We are asking for a gift of $25 per participant to help cover the costs of the event. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Principal's Discretionary Fund so our new principal has some extra-budgetary funds to enhance the school and educational experience.
Jeff Simpson from Provisions Fine Beverage Purveyors and Sean Tilly from Sean's Wine and Spirits will be providing a variety of scotches for us to sample.
For those who came last year, I am going to bring a bottle of 2017 favorite - Glenmorangie Milsean
Please go to steugenes.org/scotch and register today!
Then, please promote the event with your friends!
If you are unable to come but would still like to support the Principal's Fund, please go to the same website to make a tax deductible gift.
Thanks for supporting the Catholic school of Saint Eugene!
