Old Bonhomme is Building Community!
The Old Bonhomme artists are hosting a group project to build community!!!
The week of January 16, the Olivette Police, Fire and Mayor's Office Staff will be coming to Old Bonhomme to work on a large clay installation for the new Police/Fire/Administrative Building. Each artist at Old Bonhomme will make their own leaf for our Olivette Community Tree. We are very excited to work with our local community to create this permanent masterpiece.
Why are we doing this? We want to build community, communication, relationships and art together!!! Art Unites Us!!!
In addition, Olivette families will have an opportunity to create as well. We will open our Old Bonhomme doors to parents and neighbors on Sunday Jan. 29, from 12-3 and again on Saturday Feb. 4, from 9-12. If you would like to make art with us please mark your calendar and come!
All RSVP's will need to be sent to https://olivette-community-.eventbrite.com
Join Us To Honor And Celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Through Community Service!
Old Bonhomme students and families have started collecting socks and hygiene products for our first annual Stuff the Socks event!
Please help in some small way:
Buy a package of NEW tube socks for men, women or children.
Donate hotel soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotion.
Buy small travel size packages of: deodorant, germicide, lotion, wet wipes, toothbrush/ toothpaste, talcum powder, kleenex, cough-drops, vaseline, combs, and chapsticks.
Collection bins will be in the front hall, and we will stuff socks full of hygiene products for the homeless on January 16 (more details to come). Note: this event will take the place of our former Socks and Sandwiches event. Sadly homeless shelters are no longer accepting sandwiches.

As a part of the Ladue Horton Watkins High School renovation currently underway, inscribed bricks will be placed at the beautiful new south entrance to LHWHS.
The Ladue Education Foundation (LEF) is making bricks available to students and families, alumni and community members, with funds going toward LEF’s capital campaign for the high school.
You can be a permanent part of the LHWHS renewed campus by purchasing a brick to commemorate a team, honor a teacher, remember a loved one, give your child a lasting graduation gift or simply celebrate your own years as a Ladue School District student!
Participate in Ladue Horton Watkins High School history and help us create a meaningful welcome
with your words connecting our past to our present and our future.
