The Role of the School Counselor
Mrs. Arnold, our school counselor, presents lessons in the classroom every other week. Next week will be her first lesson on the role of the school counselor. As a parent, you can learn more about how to utilize the school counselor's services by visiting http://obschoolcounseling.blogspot.com/.
This year we are fortunate to have additional social emotional supports helping us at Old Bonhomme. This week we will feature SarahFlock, a licensed professional counselor, brought to us through the St. Louis Children Service Fund. She will be with us on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you are interested in learning more about Ms. Flock's click here. She can offer individual and group counseling. You can set up a time to meet with her and see if she would be a good fit for your child. A consent form does need to be signed and on file. We are looking at starting a group for students who have divorced or separated parents. Let Ms. Flock (sflock@jfcs-stl.org) and Mrs. Arnold (harnold@ladueschools.net) know if you are interested in your child participating in the group.

OB's Got Character!
Being nice will be Old Bonhomme’s primary
character education focus this school year-
inspiring, promoting and encouraging kindness
throughout our school community. All OB
students visited the Choose To Be Nice station
during the Big Rodeo. Ask your child to tell you
all about the promise banner they signed
to Choose To Be Nice.
