To All Gardeners!!
This weekend while you are digging in your gardens and dividing perennials for full sun, please think of our school garden. We are needing more flowers, and our student garden club members will be happy to plant. If you have any left over bags of potting soil, please send this too.
Also needed are the small plastic rectangle Gerber baby food containers.
Hummingbirds will be returning to our garden around April 25!
THANK YOU! Please see Roxanne Comens, or Margaret Shockley for any questions.

Thank You to Mrs. Roth and our Amazing Young Artists
The Art Show certainly demonstrates that Old Bonhomme is an especially creative place! The work of Mrs. Roth with our young artists is exceptional and we are lucky to have someone who believes in self-expression through the arts. Our school climate lives and breathes creative expression through the art created in our studio!
Student pick up & Drop-off
Parents, please be considerate and obey the signs out front which state “BUS ONLY ZONE 8:15-9:00 and 3:00-4:00.” This is for our students safety and we appreciate your cooperation. As a reminder, students can only be picked up after school on the upper blacktop. Parents may not wait out front by the buses for their child. The children know the rules and read the signs too so think of the example you are setting when you disregard the posted signs.
Thank You from Mrs. Roth
A special thank you to Mrs. Brown for creating all the QR codes for our students. The QR codes make the art show interactive and help viewers understand what the artist intended when they created their masterpiece. Every artist has one QR code! That's over 374 codes created, gadzooks, that's a lot!!!
Additional thanks goes out to Cathy Moore and Corey Miller for the countless hours of organizing portfolios, sorting, matting, labeling and even hanging artwork! The show could not have happened without your support, thank you, Ladies!
Portfolios will be sent home the week of May12.
Weather Man
MP3 noticed the weather in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper was in color some days and in black and white other days. They took data on this for nine weeks and sent their results to the editor. They asked how the newspaper decided when to use color. The editor wrote back with an explanation and included Weather Bird puppets, tattoos, and coloring sheets. The best part was an original painting of the Weather Bird made especially for our class!
