After you enjoy chili, plan on cheering on the girls basketball team. Each school will have a banner hung up for you to sit with your school. We are excited to bring the whole Ladue community together. Look in your child’s Friday folder for more details and sign-up sheet.
Socks and Sandwiches!

Thank you
Thank you to Kelly Becker and her committee for coordinating and serving a wonderful Holiday lunch for our teachers and support staff!
Winter Break
We hope you all have a fabulous winter break and spend the two weeks spending extra time as a family and celebrating all that is special to you! We’ll see you bright and early on Monday, January 6.
Old Bonhomme Eagle Mascot
All this week classes have been meeting our new eagle mascot! This gave us a great opportunity to practice some important social skills - like waiting and introducing yourself. Each child had one-on-one time with the mascot in their classroom and then the OB Eagle visited the winter parties on Friday afternoon. Thank you to our PTO for this terrific addition to the OB family!
Love the Bus Campaign
Start the New Year right! Save gas and help the environment by taking the bus to school. We are encouraging all our bus riders to take the bus next semester! All bus riders will be entered into a special drawing every time they ride the bus to school. The more you ride, the better your chances to win a lunch date with Mrs. Kirchgessner. The names of five students from each bus will be drawn on January 31 to have lunch the following week with Mrs. K! Special drawing tickets will be sent home with each bus rider and there will be a special tub on the bus for students to drop in a ticket each time they ride in the morning and another ticket in the afternoon.
