SCHOOL NEWS 

Toys & School don't mix:  a note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
Toys have been appearing at school quite a bit lately and causing quite a distraction. Beginning immediately, no toys will be allowed at school and may not be stored in backpacks for Aftercare. Mrs. Blevins provides plenty of toys at in Aftercare. Please check your child's bags and talk with them about the purpose for school and that they may see their toys, cards, etc when they get in the car or home. Thank you for your cooperation.

Special Student Choir Performance
Choir parents: The St. Eugene’s Children’s Choir will be singing the beautiful song “Panis Angelicus” with the adult choir on Sunday, Nov. 10 at the 9:30 a.m. Mass.

Aftercare to Close Early on Oct 25!
Due to Trunk or Treat being held in the school parking lot,  aftercare will close at 5 pm on October 25th. All children must be picked up by 5 pm that evening

NEW! Walk & Talk
You may have noticed something new we tried last week in the gym during drop-off.  Walk & Talk is a chance for students to get moving in the morning by walking the "trail" around the gym. They can meet up with buddies to chat while talking. Students need to come in and find their class cone, place their bag in line, and join in the walk. They may opt out and choose to sit in their line and visit with classmates there. Middle school students have been moved to the bleachers which they love and they may also choose to Walk & Talk! We are super excited to get kids up and moving and enjoy each other's company before class!

Donuts with Dad is on Thursday, Oct. 17th!
Dads, join your kids in Ross Hall from 7:00am-7:55am for a donut. Stay for Mass at 8:15am.

Children's Liturgy of the Word Volunteer Needed
A volunteer to serve one Sunday a month during your regular Mass time as a Catechist for Children's Liturgy of the Word is needed! Two Catechists take the children, ages 4-7, to the chapel after the Opening Prayer to present and discuss that Sunday's Readings, especially the Gospel. The Catechist materials lead the Catechist through the presentation. It is a beautiful way to engage young children in the Gospel message! October start date will depend upon gathering enough volunteers. 24 are needed to present Children's Liturgy at all the Masses once a month. Please contact Judi Wilkinson at [email protected] if interested.  
Training meeting September 26, 6:30 pm. Location TBA

Confirmation Volunteers
If you have a heart for young people or sharing your faith, we have opportunities available on either Monday nights.  Confirmation meets twice a month from 6:30 PM to 8:15 PM in Ross Hall.  
Please contact Patty Dearden if you would like to be a part of this very rewarding and important ministry - leading our young people into a life of discipleship. 
We have been asking the Holy Spirit to raise up helpers.  The harvest is plenty and the laborers are few!

We need more families to take the Vocare Chalice home for a week and pray for Vocations. We especially need people after Saturday and Sunday 5:00 pm Masses.  If interested or have questions, please email Susan Givens at [email protected] or call her at 751-7115.
