Dance-A-Thon Update
The OB Dance-A-Thon is next Friday, September 30! We are at 31% participation and we would love to see this number soar! There is plenty of time to turn in your pledges to the office or by visiting https://99pledges.com/fund/danceathon3/ in order to receive your prizes! Want to join our students and boogie to the beat? We are still gathering volunteers to assist in handing out treats, selling baked goods, and stirring up excitement on the dance floor. Daytime or evening shifts are available. Become involved by visiting Dance-A-Thon VolunteerOpportunities. Remember, this is not drop-off event, all students should be picked up at Stacy Park at 3:50 p.m. and then we hope to see everyone at the After Party from 5-7 p.m., for food trucks, dancing and dessert! Thank you, OB Community, for supporting our efforts and strengthening our school’s resources!
Six weeks of After-School Fun!
Planning of the After-School Classes is well underway and we are finalizing some exciting classes for students in all grade levels. The Fall 2016 six-week program will begin the week of November 1, and run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school. Please look for a registration packet to come home in your student’s Friday folder in mid-October. For more details about being a parent volunteer and earning a free class for your child or if you have any other questions about the After-School Program, contact Allison Brose at allison.brose@hotmail.com.

On Friday, September 30, there will be no parking allowed on the upper blacktop all day, due to set-up for the Dance-A-Thon. It can be used for student drop-off in the morning, but student pick-up will be at Stacy Park ONLY in the afternoon.

We Are Family
Our O.B. families kick-off event occurred on Monday, September 19. Old Bonhomme is one big family who cares about each other! The goal of our families is to build relationships with staff and other students in the building. So, during monthly family meetings, your child or children will meet with their designated family and participate in engaging lessons that center on building relationships and choosing to be nice. The groups include a head of family which is someone who works at Old Bonhomme and 10-12 other students from kindergarten through fourth grade. From year to year your child will have the same family in order to build relationships within their school family. When fourth grade students move on to the Fifth Grade Center at the end of each year the incoming kindergartners will join each family the following year. We are excited to embark on this new adventure with our staff and students, knowing that it is our strong relationships that support learning and being the best we can be!
