We also appreciate the support we got from Ms. Bergin, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Butz, Mr. Hearn, Coach Jander, Mrs. Lindsey Mayer, and Coach Prange with our plans. Keep on Soaring OB Eagles!
OB's Got Character
Thank you for helping make our annual district-wide service project to help our community such a SUCCESS! During the week of Fill The Barrel, Old Bonhomme's goal was to fill 8 barrels... and by working together we met our goal! As a whole, our district filled a grand total of 59 barrels!
Judy Coyman, Director of Community Relations at Operation Food Search, shared the following, "This food drive positively impacts our most fragile families throughout our community. Your food drive donations not only fill the shelves of our agencies, but also are used in our Cooking Matters classes, in adult job training programs, in after school child feeding programs, in food closets in schools, senior centers and crisis centers. You truly help us nourish our community. Operation Food Search is at its core nothing more than people helping people. We are nothing without your partnership and support. All of you are truly shining examples of what’s best about us in the St. Louis bi-state region. Thank you!"
