Parent Town Hall Advisory Meeting
In November, we started a very important and meaningful discussion about diversity at our Old Bonhomme Parent Town Hall Advisory Meeting. We want to continue to provide opportunities to have these courageous conversations, reflect on them, and educate ourselves and the community about what we can do to make this a better place for all of our students. Next Tuesday, February 21, from 6:30-8 p.m. we will hold another OB Parent Town Hall Advisory meeting in the Library. If you can join us, click here to RSVP. If you have questions, contact Hayley Arnold at harnold@ladueschools.net or 314-983-5546.
