Birthday Treats
We know how much our students look forward to the birthday treats each month to celebrate all of our student’s birthdays in the classroom during their birthday month. Unfortunately, there were many families that did not turn in their $10 at the beginning of the school year, and the funds are running low for this special celebration. Any contributions to this fund can be turned in to the school office and would be greatly appreciated so we can continue this tradition for the remainder of the school year.
Self-Guided Motor Lab Tours
Next week you can check out the Motor Lab and walk through the stations before or after your Parent-Teacher Conference. The Motor Lab is located in room 206. Don't miss this opportunity to see how engaging both your body and brain make a big academic difference. Be looking for information about the Smart Moves book study in the PE section of the Quarterly Newsletter.
OB CHAMPIONS
We will be celebrating “Success Week,” formerly “Map Kickoff Week,” the week of March 31. Our theme this year is: “I am a champion, you’re going to see me SOAR!” We would like to have pictures of all of our students being a champion to display in the hallways. Please send in a picture of your child being a champion by March 28, to the attention of Mrs. Arnold. Some examples might be of them participating in a organization like girl scouts, a sport, playing an instrument, painting, volunteering, dancing, the possibilities are endless!

Old Bonhomme parents and guardians,
please tell us what you think!
!
Your input is always appreciated, but
sometimes finding time to pick up the phone or
write a note is not always possible. Each year
we use Survey Monkey, an on-line tool, to
gather your input. Last year we only collected
27 responses. Your input is helpful and we’d
love an even greater response this year!
The survey can be accessed from any computer since it is internet-based. If you would like to use our computers at school, you may stop by the Computer Lab when you are here for your Parent-Teacher Conferences next week.
You can access the survey beginning Friday, March 7, at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OB_Parent_Climate_Survey_2014 or from a link on the Old Bonhomme School website. The survey will be available until March 31.
Your time and input is valued! Cheryl Kirchgessner, Principal

SOAR Recognition
We had a great turn-out at our February SOAR Recognition Celebration on Tuesday, March 4. A total of 226 students chose to participate! Students really enjoyed meeting and getting to know a Chill hockey player, Shiver, their Polar Bear mascot, and Mr. Troop, spokesperson for the Chill hockey team, and our very own Nurse Comen's son! All participants were excited about receiving 4 tickets to a future Chill hockey game! March Eagle's Nest menus have been dispersed to classrooms. Ask you child about them! Our March SOAR Recognition Celebration will be based around showing kindness to others through a service project. The celebration will be 5 tickets. Details of the celebration will be announced when we return from Spring Break.
OB's Got Character
OB's character word of the month is KINDNESS. Thank you to those of you who have KINDly donated canned items this week. We will continue collecting cans until our Fill The Bus project comes to a close on Wednesday, March 12. We will be the last school the bus comes to before it heads to its final donation destination, so we wanted to send it off in an especially KIND way!! Students and staff will be recording a random act of kindness they have done, on a paper heart, and the hearts will be connected to form a large chain that we will wrap around the bus, to fill it with kindness, as it heads off.
