Barnett 6th Grade receives a "one-of-a-kind" field trip grant to educators from Target. In October, Mrs. Leach submitted an application to be a recipient of this grant and in January was informed that they were awarded the funds, which in turn allows all the 6th grade classes at Barnett to go to the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City.

The students experienced the Foucault Pendulum, looked at moonscapes, touched meteors, and observed seasons and planets in the Hansen Dome Theatre. It was a whole day of exciting fun and learning!

Barnett Kindergartners celebrate 100's day. Adorned in self-crafted hats, these Kindergartners are proud of the fact that they are "100 days smarter." This is one of the ways that the kindergarten students at Barnett Elementary celebrated completing 100 days of school!

Barnett fourth-graders get hands-on Science experience at Diamond Fork Canyon.

On February 18 all of Barnett Fourth Grade observed the wild in Diamond Fork Canyon on snow shoes. The Forest Service put on great presentations that were both educational and fun. The students learned about wildlife and their winter patterns, adaptations and the effect of weather on animals. They learned so much that they all want to go back!

The annual 3rd Grade Spelling Bee took place at Barnett on February 5th, 2010.  The students competed in a class spelling bee first and from there the top three spellers moved on to the final round where they competed against the other classes.  All 12 finalists did a great job.  Grace Haskell and Jordan Mathews came in 2nd and 3rd place and Adam Call won with word "enemies."  Congratulations to all who participated!  

Barnett PTA throws a GROOVY party for the upper grades and their families. This fundraiser had everything from disco dancing to games. Students won prizes and ate great food; everyone in attendance had a "far out" time. Thanks PTA!

Red Rock Orthodontics came to visit the second graders at Barnett on January 28, 2009.  They talked to the students about things they need to do to keep their teeth healthy. It was a great presentation and the students really enjoyed learning more about how to keep their teeth healthy. Thank you Red Rock Orthodontics for a great presentation!

Great things are happening at Barnett Elementary. Students are reading, reading, reading. They can now take home books in English accompanied with the same book in Spanish. For many parents who read only Spanish, this has been the first time that they have been able to sit and read with their child. One parent excitedly shared that he and his daughter are "reading together every night." The check out library has been organized by fifth grade students: Diana Guillen, Alejandra Sanchez, Jonathan Cordova, and Mario Cruz.

Upper grades at Barnett Elementary were fortunate to attend an assembly featuring the author of the popular Far World series, J. Scott Savage. He dazzled the students with magic tricks and stories and inspired them to use reading to "find the magic within."

Good behavior is rewarded at Barnett Elementary.

Barnett fourth and fifth-graders were rewarded for good behavior with a sledding and hot chocolate party. Those students that had exemplary behavior and citizenship for the month of January enjoyed a break from their studies and had fun in the snow. Great job Fourth and Fifth Grade!
