OB's Got Character!
December's Character Word of the Month is PEACE. Consider talking as a family about what PEACE means to you. Does everyone have a PEACEful place where they like to hang out at home? Discuss what makes that area a PEACEFUL place.
Students have been participating in an UnSorted post-performance classroom workshop presented by Metro Theater Company. Thank you to the OBPTO and LEF for funding this extraordinary learning opportunity for all OB students! Be sure to ask your kids about their workshop experience!
BASK Reminder
Parents, don’t forget to email Levise Eddins (BASK director) at leddins@ladueschools.net if your child will not be attending BASK or let the school office know so unnecessary phone calls are not made. Thank you!
