OB Collects Boxtops!!!
Boxtops are small coupons on many products! Look for them on cereal, taco mix, kleenex, diapers, copy paper, ziploc bags and more!Send the coupons to the art studio. OB will collect 10 cents for every boxtop! They add up fast! Mrs. Roth has collection sheets outside her door. If your family collects 25 boxtops your child will receive a crayon eraser as a thank you! We collect all year so don't stop collecting!!!
FRONT CIRCLE DRIVE
There are no parent cars allowed in the front
circle drive from 8:30 until the buses have left
the school. Morning drop off for school is on
the upper blacktop. If you see a bus in the lane
keep driving or wait at the park until you see
the buses leave.
There are no parent cars allowed in the front circle drive since it needs to be open for the buses. Do not park along the entry to the circle drive at any time during dismissal. The only place to park a vehicle during dismissal is the upper blacktop or Stacy Park.
Picture Day
Picture Day is Thursday, September 3. You can order portraits now at mylifetouch.com using Picture Day ID JO015099Y0.
OB's Got Character!
It's time to SOAR into the new school year! What is one way YOU could help US spread good character? Please consider playing the part of our eagle school mascot. Our school mascot, ObI (pronounced like OBI-Wan Kenobi) generates excitement and energizes our school spirit, fostering a sense of unity and pride among our students, staff, families and community as a whole. Please email lhumphrey@ladueschoools.net to share your interest in volunteering to be OBi this school year.
On another note... did your OB student(s) stay cool this summer while showing good character? Did they participate in a character building activity each week in June and July? If so, please be sure to return to school the bright orange SOARing Into Summer character calendar that went home at the end of the school year!

OB New Signage
You may have noticed the upgrades to our signs around the building. This has been in the works for awhile now and the district is updating signage district-wide. Sometime this year we’ll unveil our new front brick marquee to replace the one falling apart along Old Bonhomme Road!
THANK YOU
Thanks to the OB 4th grade class of 2015, we have added to our benches on the upper blacktop and new plantings around the front walkway! They hope to add one more bench under the canopy later this fall with a combined effort with the PTO beautification efforts.
