Weekly Update 2/20

February 20, 2026

Dear Oak Brook Families,

Oak Brook will have our back playground replaced this summer. In addition to replacing some equipment, the mulch will be replaced with a poured surface. To help plan for the new playground, our students were able to vote on some of the pieces of the playground. This included choosing some slides and climbing features. We look forward to seeing our new playground later this year.

Don't forget to order your child a yearbook. Ordering information is below.
There is information below about a night at the Magic House. This free event is being sponsored by the Magic House. Please RSVP if you plan to attend as space is limited.

We hope you have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Katie & Chris

Online Auction

February 27 & 28

Save the Date! Our annual ONLINE AUCTION will be Friday, 2/27 - Saturday, 2/28! We have tons of amazing items to bid on this year!

Do you find yourself driving around West County? Do you visit local restaurants and other businesses? If so, we could use your help!

It's super easy! You don't have to do anything except take the donation letter inside the store or restaurant, say you're from Oak Brook, hand the letter to an employee or manager on duty, and then make note of where you've stopped so that we know where not to send people. I am dividing locations we need to visit by strip mall or section of the Ballwin/Manchester/Ellisville/Chesterfield area, so if you help, any locations you visit will be close together and limited in number.

Please reach out to Julie Bode (juliembode@gmail.com) or Meagan Gray (meagangray610@gmail.com) to get more info!
