Old Bonhomme Promotes Cultural Diversity
by Sponsoring a Passport Night

Travel the world at Old Bonhomme Elementary on Friday, February 25 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Old Bonhomme Parent Teacher Association is sponsoring a Passport Night for students and their families to promote cultural diversity within the school and community. Participating families will enter the school through a "Customs" registration station where children will be issued passports and bags.

These "travelers" will then be directed to booths where children can collect a stamp or sticker for each country they visit and take part in a wide variety of activities.

The event will include:

* More than 20 entertaining and educational booths hosted by Old Bonhomme families celebrating heritage from countries and religions across the globe including Brazil, Thailand, Kenya, Scandinavia, Israel, and China.

* A performance by GRUPO ATLANTICO, an educational, artistic group whose goal is to teach the history, legends, and traditions of African, Indian, and Hispanic heritages from the coast of South America.

* A booth hosted by the International Institute, non-profit social services agency working with immigrant families in St. Louis since 1919, where families can learn about volunteer opportunities to help immigrants become secure and successful Americans.

* A USO booth in which children may write letters to service men and women stationed overseas.

Ladue School District has 3,200 students and serves all or part of ten communities including Creve Coeur, Crystal Lake Park, Frontenac, Huntleigh Village, Ladue, Olivette, Richmond Heights, Town & Country, unincorporated St. Louis County and Westwood. More information about the Ladue School District and its individual schools can be found at www.ladue.k12.mo.us.
