YEARBOOK ORDERS
The Old Bonhomme Yearbooks are selling out fast, if you have not ordered yours yet extra order forms are available in the office and the cost is $15. Get yours before they are gone!

OB Birthdays

Next year, OB student birthdays will be celebrated differently. The PTO will be providing a birthday button to each child on their birthday or half birthday. We'll continue the birthday announcements in the morning, but the goal is for each child’s birthday to be recognized throughout their special day by more people! The exciting part is that it is a custom button designed by third graders through a design contest at the end of the preceding year. Each year's button will be designed by one of that year's fourth graders.
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? Check out our twitter handle @obeagles to get up-to-date classroom experiences live from our classrooms.
Spring Fling
We hope to see everyone at the Spring Fling tonight from 5-7:30p.m. Come support your friends as they wow us with their talents at the first ever OB Talent Show! If you did not pre-order your wristband they can be purchased at the door for $7. Please contact Lizzie Berman with any questions at lizzierberman@gmail.com
From the Principal
Old Bonhomme Parents and guardians, please tell us what you think! Your input is always appreciated, but sometimes finding time to pick up the phone or write a note is not always possible. Each year we use Survey Monkey, an on-line tool, to gather your input. Your input is always helpful to our planning and we'd love an even greater response than the 72 we got last year! The survey can be accessed from any device . You can access the survey until May 12 at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OBParentClimate2017 or from a link on the Old Bonhomme website. Your time is appreciated!
