Allergy Reminder
This is just a reminder to parents that all food served in the classrooms must first be approved by both the teacher and the school nurse. This is to ensure that it is safe for ALL students in the classroom. If a treat cannot be eaten by all children in the classroom, then it will not be allowed to be served. PTO Room Parents organize treats for holiday parties and have them approved in advance. No treats can be brought by parents or kids to be distributed at the party unless they have been approved by the Room Parents and the Nurse. We appreciate your kindness, but must put the safety of our students first.
Please contact the school nurse with any questions:

PTO SURVEY
As we are coming to the end of 2016, the Board would like your feedback on events that have occurred this school year as well as any comments, suggestions, or concerns we can address for 2017. You may answer the survey anonymously, but if you leave your name and e-mail, we will enter it into a raffle for a free ticket to our Adult Fundraiser "Boots and Bling.” Please click the link here to access the online survey. 
FREE TICKETS!
As part of their community outreach program, Saint Louis University Athletics would like to offer OB complementary tickets to a few of their women’s basketball games. The tickets are for the following dates and will be handed out on a first come first serve basis:
January 15- Blue-Out vs. Dayton
January 28- Pink-Out Breast Cancer Awareness Game vs. Fordham
Last year they saw a record crowd of nearly 10,000 people at our annual Pink-Out game, and hope to beat that record this year!
If interested please email
lrowe@ladueschools.net with the # of tickets and which game(s) you would like to attend. There are plenty to go around!

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 are 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.
