LAST WEEKEND for Poinsettia and Wreath Sale!

LAST WEEKEND for Poinsettia and Wreath Sale!

Please share our poinsettia and wreath order form with local friends and family who may want to order! Orders and payment due by Monday 10/24. We have had several school families successfully take orders and payment from friends and family, then place one order to distribute later. Orders should arrive at the church for pick up late November or early December. All the profits will help fund our SALT program. If you have questions, contact Colleen de Keratry.

Time & Talent Ops!

Time & Talent Ops!

Fall Workday TOMORROW - If mums, pumpkins, and yard work are your thing, join us for a fall campus workday! We have several areas around the school that need a spruce up. Sign up to help tidy and plant, or sign up to bring items to help make CSSE lovely for the fall! Workday will begin at 9am on Saturday, Oct. 22nd.


Volunteer in the Lunchroom - We need a few volunteers to cover a shift in the lunchroom once a week on Fridays. Volunteer will help pass out lunches, monitor students, and clean tables between lunch periods. See available slots and sign up!


School Library Volunteer - There are also several opportunities to earn Time & Talent by helping with library tasks. Many tasks are flexible, and some can be done at home! Sign up if interested, and Mrs. Hattaway will contact you when an opportunity arises that may interest you.


Coach a CSSE Basketball Team - Our basketball season is starting up soon, and we need coaches! Please fill out the coaching form if you are interested in coaching or assisting with a team. If you do not yet have Safe Environment updated for this school year, please fill out the SE google form, and Jen Goodrich will get back to you with instructions.


Catechesis of the Good Shepherd - We need volunteers for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS)! In order to provide this beautiful Montessori-based approach to religious education, we need volunteers to assist teachers in the Atrium (you do not need to be a trained catechist) and to help prepare materials for the children. Materials making will take place at 9:30am on the following Fridays in the Bride's Room of the Church: Oct. 28, Nov. 18, Dec 16 and into the second semester. Please contact Christie Ardoin if you can help in either capacity or for more information: goodshepherd@steugenes.org.
