On Thursday, February 12th, our students will have their annual Friendship Party from 10:15-11:00. On this day, many students exchange traditional "Valentine's Day Cards." To help us keep all students safe, and to avoid any allergens, we ask that cards do not include food or snacks. Thank you for your help with this.

If you plan on attending the Friendship Party on Thursday from 10:15-11:00, please RSVP using the link below. This will expedite the check in process.

This week we will focus on sincerity. We define sincerity as being genuine and meaning what you say. There are times when kids say something just because they believe it is what they should say. This often comes when they apologize for something. When we talk with students and have them apologize, we help them understand the "why" behind the reason they need to apologize. We also talk with them about how we change our behaviors so it doesn't happen again. It is important that, as adults, we model for them what sincerity looks like in our words and actions. If you get a chance this week, take time with your child to show them how to be sincere in your words and actions.

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!
