Thank you Sophie and Amy Palatnick, Maya and Linda Varadachari, Grace, Anna and Heather Huewe, Alexandra Tsygankov and Edna Rodriguez, Peyton and Erika Bennack, and Madeline Awad for doing an amazingly kind act and representing Old Bonhomme.
Second Grade Social... Thank you Katie Scaggs for planning our second grade social this past Tuesday. The families had a great time with Serengeti Steve.
Trunk or Treat... Thank you to all the families and staff that participated in our first Trunk or Treat. The trunk decorations were fabulous and it would not have been such a successful event without you. A special thank you to the Dad’s Club for hosting and their committee of Mike Goellner, Nicole Ankele, Kelly Bock, Sydney Kaufman, and Xiaolin Wan. Congratulations to the Carpenter, Lang, and Rosen families, their trunk took “Best in Show!”
