WOW! CSSE Collected 3,625 Pounds of Food for Food Drive Thanks to all who donated food for the food drive! The school collected a total of 3,625 lbs of food, and it took the food bank two trips to collect all of the food.

Special thanks to the 4th grade students, who helped coordinate and promote the food drive as a part of their SALT service project! Also, thanks to Mrs. Borgert, Mrs. Kositzky, Julie Pham, Ashlei McMahill and other parent volunteers for helping make the project a success!
Green Team Zero Waste Lunch Day - Wednesday Nov. 28th In order to bring attention to everyday waste, Green Team is encouraging students to bring their lunch from home Nov. 28th, and to try to do so in a way that results in nothing being thrown in the trash.
Instead of single serve chips or cookies in a plastic bag, pack sandwiches and snacks from family size containers in a smaller reusable container or bring whole fruit.
Use reusable silverware and cloth napkins.
Bring your own reusable drink bottles.
Forego plastic straws.
Try to pack right-size portions to eliminate food waste.
Google "Waste Free Lunch" for more ideas.
Every student who brings a waste free lunch will have their name put into a drawing for a Zero Waste Lunch prize! We will do a drawing for each lunch period. Our hot lunch program will also try to reduce waste as much as possible on this day.
Thanks for Going Green at St. Eugene!
