OB's Got Character!
OB's Character Word for the month of January is FAIRNESS. Consider talking with your family about what it means to be FAIR. FAIRNESS isn't about everyone getting the same thing. FAIRNESS is about everyone getting what they need.
We hope to see everyone at the MLK Celebration! We are excited to share a special video looking back at all the different SORTs of activities we've participated in centering around the theme of UnSorted.
