ART GRATITUDE!!
A big shout out to the parents who helped make this week's art events a huge success!
The City Center Mosaic Tree is installed and ready to view. If you missed last Saturday's ribbon cutting please go by and see the tree when you can. The City Center is open for business. This piece would not have been possible without the help of Stacy and George Jurgiel. Thank you both for lots of gluing and organizing!! I could never have finished in time without you both!!

The Art Show was amazing! So many families were able to come and view the work on display. This show would not have been possible without the help of these super helpers!! Thank you Kelly Bock, Cathy Moore, Jen Jim, Qi Lu, Jenny Kissel, Summer Roberts, Marianne Wolken, Allison Brose, Gul Batool, Mohsina Batool, and Nicole Addison. I appreciate each of you, thank you!!!
The art show will be up through next week. If you weren't able to come on Tuesday evening drop by before or after school to see your students work. Love, Mrs. Roth.

OB Family Tech Week
Students at OB are using technology to develop their Super Skills (Connect, Create, Communicate, and Critically Think) to becoming lifelong learners. Our classrooms are using technology each and every day! What a wonderful night at our OB Interactive Art Show on April 25. Mrs. Brown teamed up with Mrs. Roth to help our students share art reflections through QR codes. Check out the show https://goo.gl/b93vF5
Save the date for OB Family Tech Week May 8-12. This week highlights all of the wonderful ways we integrate technology in our classrooms. Check with your child's teacher to find out what time your child's class is scheduled. We invite you to come and share with us. Are you on twitter?

Scholastic Book Fair
Thank you to Jamie Steinbach and all of the volunteers who helped to make the Book Fair a success. Thank you to Stacy Jurgiel for running the Book Bucks. Every student at Old Bonhomme came home with a free book!
Spring Fling
We hope everyone is getting excited for this year's Spring Fling on Friday, May 5, from 5-7:30p.m. This year we are shaking things up a bit! We will NOT have games with prizes. There will still be bounce houses, a dunk tank and face painting. New this year is a talent show. Come support your friends as they wow us with their talents. We can't wait to see everyone there!
Wristbands and pizza can be preordered through Friday, April 28. Please contact Lizzie Berman with any questions at lizzierberman@gmail.com

Your input is always helpful to our planning and we'd love an even greater response than the 72 we got last year!
