Library News
Calling all overdue library books!! Hang a note on the fridge, write it on the calendar, tie a string around your finger...do whatever it takes to get these books turned in as soon as possible! If a library book is lost, please contact Mrs. Kelley about the replacement cost.
Don't forget that the OB library will be open from 10-12 Wednesday mornings this summer (June 1- August 3). Make plans to stop by the library to replenish you summer book supply!
Finally, check out the St. Louis County Library summer reading program. Registration for the program starts May 23 and runs through July 30. Reading progress can be recorded online; be sure to send Mrs. Kelley a copy of your student's summer reading log so she can recognize him/her as a distinguished reader in August.

Hopefully your OB student(s) shared with you about our April Class Buddy Time last week. Students met with fellow students in their buddy classes and Chose To Be Nice to others by showing their appreciation. Buddy Groups chose to show appreciation for our bus drivers, local firefighters and police officers, staff in our building, our superintendents, our cafeteria workers, our teachers' lounge and school garden. It felt great to Choose To Be Nice to others together! If we haven't yet, please consider asking us to tell you all about it! We enjoyed our Class Buddy Times this year!
