Let's Help Get More Kids ON THE BALL!
Ladue is working with Normandy School District to help make more great things happen in their schools for students. Mrs. K is specifically working with teachers at Washington Elementary. One of their teachers would like to implement the use of BALL CHAIRS in her room!
We know active sitting is good for our kids -- and other kids, too! If you are so inclined to spread the ball chair love this holiday season, you can read more about Mrs. Kostedt's class and contribute on her DonorsChoose page
at
Fidgets for Success.
LOST AND FOUND
Parents, don’t forget to stop by and check the Lost and Found for any lost items. The coats and jackets are quickly accumulating in there! Also, remember to write your child’s name in all outerwear so the character council can easily return items to your child. PLEASE NOTE: ANY UNCLAIMED ITEMS WILL BE DONATED TO AN AREA SHELTER OVER WINTER BREAK.
Thank you
Thank you to our amazing PTO and parents that contributed to the special Coffee Cart that came around before Thanksgiving Break the staff was very “Thankful” for the coffee and treats!
Also a special Thank you to Suzanne Epstein- Lang, Anne Leidenfrost, and all the parents that contributed to the AMAZING Teacher Appreciation Lunch this Thursday. Our parents really do ROCK here at Old Bonhomme! Our teachers and staff are lucky to have you all!

LEF Grant Approval
Congratulations to Miss Ladue, our Old Bonhomme music teacher! The Ladue Education Foundation (LEF) Allocation Committee and LEF Board approved her grant, Drumming for Diversity, to be fully funded for $3,719! Thanks to Miss Ladue for taking the time to submit this grant idea to help provide extraordinary learning opportunities for the children of the Ladue School District and for all of our families who have supported the LEF with financial support.
