SCHOOL NEWS 

It's cold outside...
...Time to pull out all the warm weather gear so your kids are safe and comfortable when they go outside. If you need to restock or purchase different sizes of warm uniform items, FlynnO'Hara has some great options. https://www.flynnohara.com/School/ok004
See uniform policy for guidelines for appropriate winter uniforms. https://steugeneschool.org/uniform-policy

School lunch policy
Parents, please take a minute to review our school lunch policy from the Family Handbook. We want our students to have proper nourishment so they can concentrate and learn to their full potential. Halloween candy is not acceptable as either a dessert or snack during the school day. Leave the candy at home.
"If students bring their lunch from home, students should have a well-balanced lunch, including some kind of protein. Chips, cookies and candy should be limited. Due to varying health issues, trading food among the students is not permitted. The school must be informed in writing by the student’s physician of any life threatening food allergies. See Nutrition Policy for Early Childhood Students. (Please see nutrition policy)." http://bit.ly/2Pqlw2j

Veteran’s Day Assembly
On Monday. November 11th the 8th Grade class will be planning and hosting a Veteran’s Day Assembly.

The assembly will start at 8:00 am in the school gym.  Please RSVP by Thursday, November 7th to [email protected], if you have a family member or friend attending.

Saint Eugene Food Drive Continues This Week!
We still need your help to bring in food donations by November 8th as a part of our Students Against Hunger Food Drive sponsored by the 4th Grade Class.  All of the food collected will stay in the local community. Something that is new this year is that much of the food will be donated to our own parish Saint Vincent DePaul food pantry. A big thank you goes to Mrs. Borgert and Ms. Young for taking the extra steps needed to make sure our own parish food pantry can benefit from the student donations.
To make a food donation, bring in-date canned or boxed (no glass please) food donations to your child’s classroom. MOst needed items include: canned meat, canned vegetables, canned fruit, peanut butter, beans and rice. 
4th Grade is excited and eager to serve Jesus by helping feed the hungry this year! Our goal this year is to raise 4,000lbs of food. Please join us in this effort!0

Circle of Grace
During the week of November 18th-22nd, at your child’s regular religious education time, the Circle of Grace curriculum will be taught.  The aim of this program is to teach children how to be safe, protect themselves, and communicate any potential danger.  In the Church’s desire to help keep your children safe, the Archdiocese of  Oklahoma City requires that all children and young people participating in religious education in any parish or Catholic school in the Archdiocese receive this instruction.  If you have any questions, concerns or would like to review the curriculum, please contact Mrs. Ison at [email protected]

PTO Dues
It's never too late to pay your $35 PTO dues. By paying your dues, your family is helping PTO provide many fun activities for the students and teachers.  Grandparents Day, Donuts with Dad, Muffins with Mom, Treat Trolley for Teachers, Lunch on Last Day of School, Teacher Appreciation Week, & Teacher Christmas Luncheon are just some of the things that your dues help pay for.  You can drop off a check, made out to CSSE PTO, or cash in an envelope, labeled PTO Dues, in the school office.  An even easier way to pay your dues is by Venmo, @csse-pto-19.  If you have any questions, please contact Ashley Bass at 206-8906 or [email protected].

The Catechist materials lead the Catechist through the presentation. It is a beautiful way to engage young children in the Gospel message!
