PTO will be collecting extra candy in case trunk hosts run out---if you would like to donate (for Time & Talent hours!), please drop off bags of candy in the front office.
Class Halloween Parties - Parties will be held on Friday, October 29th. Due to Covid safety precautions, parents are not allowed to attend parties (except for the homeroom parent). Be on the lookout for communication from your homeroom/house parent or teacher if you signed up to bring supplies for the party. Details will follow soon.
Upcoming Eat & Earns - Always mention St. Eugene when you order so we get a donation back to the school. Thank you, and don’t forget to spread the word to family and friends! Have an idea for an Eat and Earn or school fundraiser? Email us at pto@steugeneschool.org!
