Counselor Notes
April is Financial Literacy Month
How is your child going to pay for their postsecondary options? There are different ways to start saving a few are 529 and educational savings accounts. You can use
this
college cost calculator to see how much it will cost and what you need to save before your child enrolls. It is also important to start talking to your child about life after high school. Here are a few resources you might find helpful. It is Never Too Early - A resource to help Missouri students and their families prepare for college.
Helping Your Child With Career Planning - Because your children's career choices will affect not only them, but you, you have a right and responsibility to help develop their career plans. Career development is an ongoing process starting at birth and continuing through adulthood.

OB's Got Character
April's Character Word of the Month at OB is SUCCESS. Two big events are taking place this month that we need your help to make them a SUCCESS! Success Week will take place April 20-24. This is a week for everyone to reflect on their successes and gear up for what they still want to accomplish. The theme this year is Be an All STAR Everyday! We encourage everyone to show their spirit by dressing up according to the theme for each day. Theme dress up day information went home in the quarterly newsletter. To view the information again, please click here.
Also, this month is our annual Service Project, Fill the Barrel, taking place April 22-29. This is a district-wide service project to help our community. We are working with Operation Food Search to help collect 12,500 pounds of food. OB's goal is to fill 8 barrels (1,400 pounds of food). Together, we can make this a SUCCESS! Please be on the lookout for more detailed information about this project coming your way soon!
