Principal’s Message
Wow, another amazing year is over for Old Bonhomme School students and there is much to celebrate! It is with great pride that we can say this school and our students are something special.
From the focus and enthusiasm they bring to school each day as they rush in to class every morning or the creativity they use in the classrooms, they bring a smile to our faces! With engaged parents and high quality staff who collaborate so well, I’m a lucky principal indeed. Enjoy your summer break!

OB Garden Help Wanted
Your help is needed to maintain the OB Vegetable Garden over the summer! Please sign up for a week (or half a week) when you would be able to weed, water, and harvest the produce that is growing in the garden. Whatever is ripe during your assigned time is yours to enjoy- strawberries, peas, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, lettuce, kale, and more!! No green thumb required- the garden team will provide you with an orientation so you know what to do and how to harvest. Help us keep the garden looking great through the summer and sign up today!!
Contact Kate Hellmann at ktpichon@yahoo.com or 510-316-3151 with questions.
Here is the link for the sign up genius 
Summer Maintenance Schedule
OB Library
Unfortunately, there will be no summer library hours this summer. The library will be closed to install new carpet. Don't let that stop your child from reading, though! The St. Louis County Library has a fabulous summer reading program that offers incentives for students to reach reading milestones. A librarian from the St. Louis County Library visited with each grade level this week to promote the summer reading program--please consider signing your student up!
PTO NEWS
As we come to the end of the year, the PTO board members would like to thank our chairs, volunteers, and community for making this year so successful. All of our events could not be possible without your time and energy.
Please help us to make next year even better by taking our End of Year Survey using the link below. It will help us plan for the next school year.
