OB's Got Character
Did your happen to notice the big red hearts hanging up around school, in the main hallway? Hopefully your OB student(s) shared with you about our February Class Buddy Time! The objective of the lesson was for students to understand that words have a powerful effect and can be used to hurt or heal, and students can Choose to Be Nice by controlling their voice and by thinking about the words they use. Please consider asking your child to tell you about it, and to explain the bandaids they taped to the heart.

Career Presentations - Thank you!
Thank you to the following people who made career presentations to our students in February: Terra Barnes, Dawn Rossetti, Shawn O'Shaughnessy, Frank Francone, Kamlesh Patel, Sharon Rosenberg, Cynthia Kerman, Shabaana Khader, Karen Loiterstein, Amy Moore and Stefanie Shelton. We appreciate you taking the time.

Click here to check out our OB families’ pets. If you still want to contribute a picture to the bulletin board you can send one in or email it to harnold@ladueschools.net.
Class Lists
Later this Spring, we will begin working on class lists and teacher assignments. We anticipate four sections each in all grade levels except for a possible fifth section of first grade. Staffing decisions have not yet been finalized so teachers may be changing grade levels.
The staff and principal build the class lists together, in a series of meetings, considering each student’s achievement level, motivation level, special program needs, strengths/talents, and learning style. Our goal is a balanced classroom that will enable a teacher to meet the needs of all the students in the classroom. If you wish to provide input to the process with your perspective of a child’s learning preferences and learning style, or previous school experiences a letter or email to Mrs. Kirchgessner must be submitted no later than March 25. Input that requests specific teachers is not accepted and input based on a teacher’s reputation, or other parents’ opinions will not be considered since each child’s learning profile and school adjustment is unique.
If you choose to provide input, send your letter to the office before March 25. If received by that date your input will be taken into consideration when the final decision is made; however, it is not possible to honor specific input.
Hopefully this explains how your input will be made a part of the process. As you can see from the many things considered when class lists are built, it is not a process done quickly. For this reason, it is not possible to honor parent input as the sole determiner of a classroom assignment. It is a thoughtful process that balances classrooms, considers the needs of all students, and provides a successful learning experience for each of them.
LEF Thank You
Ms. Ladue and the students are excited and thankful for the new drum set we received through the Ladue Education Foundation grant. Check out this video at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxVrys_N9k_aUExWZ05qV2pDZFk/view?usp=sharing to see for yourself.

Parenting well is hard, but not impossible. This semester we are hosting a Strong Parent group at Old Bonhomme. We will share coffee and treats while using a program called The StrongParent Project to facilitate our conversations, learn, and share parenting tips and strategies. Upcoming meetings are on Saturday, March 5, April 2, and April 16 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m in the OB Conference Room. You can commit to one or all of the sessions.

March Madness
In honor of March Madness, students and staff are encouraged to wear a college shirt and/or colors to school on Wednesday, March 9. This is a great opportunity to talk to our kids about all the different activities you can participate in while at college.
Parent Guide to Student Appraisal
It is important to analyze and evaluate your child’s abilities, interests, skills, and achievements. Assessment data including results from formal testing as well as informal evaluation information form a basis for developing short-term and long-term plans. At the elementary level, parents/guardians can use this information to match their child with appropriate experiences and opportunities outside of the school setting. The emphasis should not solely be on the assessments, but looking at the whole child. Click on this link to find assessment descriptions and the reason why students take these assessments.
PTO News
The OBPTO Board would like to thank co-chairs Jami Cohen and Jamie Steinbach, and also Mrs. Kelley, for their leadership and hard work putting together and managing the great Book Fair last week that successfully raised funds for our treasured OB library.

The segment aired on KMOV last evening regarding Old Bonhomme's support of their crossing guard was an outstanding reflection of how the students and staff at Old Bonhomme took a horrible situation and turned it into a teachable moment on many levels. The link is below. Enjoy!

LOST AND FOUND
Parents, don’t forget to check the Lost and Found for any missing items. The coats and jackets are quickly accumulating in there! Also, remember to write your child’s name in all outerwear so the character council can easily return items to your child.
In Other News...
"News 4 Schools" KMOV came yesterday to film for a segment on the Peaceful Protests coordinated in response to the racial slurs being yelled at one of our crossing guards. They interviewed several teachers and students for the segment. At this time, they are planning to air it on Tuesday, March 1 during the 5 p.m. newscast. The News 4 Schools segment generally is toward the end of the broadcast -- so maybe closer to 5:20. Of course, this is always barring some other huge breaking news story bumping it.
Safety in the Hallways
Parents, just a friendly reminder that if you are dropping your child off in the morning, please do not walk through the hallways with a stroller. The hallways can get very busy and this not only adds to the congestion, but can become a hazard to other students. Thanks for your cooperation.

OB's Got Character
Did your OB student(s) share with you about our January Class Buddy Time? The objective of the lesson was for students to “Choose To Be Nice” by respecting their space, as well as other people’s spaces. The lesson started with students learning about their kinesphere. Your kinesphere is like your own personal space bubble. There are three different types of space; personal space, shared space, and outer space. Outer space may not be what you think it is.... ask your child(ren) to tell you about it! Just as bubbles can pop, so can your kinesphere. Kinespheres can be "popped" by running into/touching the furniture, running into/touching other people, or by our voices. Please consider asking us to demonstrate how to move while keeping our kinesphere, and the kinesphere of people around us, from popping. Then consider trying it out as a family by moving around your home while everyone keeps their kinespheres intact. We are looking forward to our next Class Buddy Time later in February.

Once the buses have left the front circle, a staff member removes the chain and parents can use the front circle for student drop-off and pick-up with the understanding that students should ONLY be let out at the sidewalk and not in the middle of the road/ driveway.

SOCKS AND SANDWICHES EVENT
This year we gathered once again in the cafeteria on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to do community service together. As many of you know Mrs. King requested that his day be a day of service to others, not a day of rest. Our community is so amazing, we always rise to meet challenges!
This year we made 981 sandwiches and collected 621 pairs of socks for area homeless shelters in less than 30 minutes!
Our next challenge is ahead. The homeless shelters are no longer requesting sandwiches for various reasons but still need our support. The Diversity Committee is looking for another hands-on project to help the community on Dr. King's Day.
If you have ideas for ways our families can be involved together please send ideas to
