Our Leadership Day began with a preshow. We had students audition to display their talents - from dance to tumbling to music. We also had a fabulous Cheer Squad, under the direction of Mrs. Taylor, help welcome each guest to our program. Parents watched videos written and directed by student leaders under the direction of Mrs. Humphries. Our 6th grade orchestra also provided music in the halls as they were led by their teacher Ms. Sandiego. Student lighthouse members greeted and handed out program and favors to those attending.

Fourth graders always look forward to their annual Mountain Man Rendezvous. Students participate in many fun activities, including target shooting with marshmallows, panning for gold, catching fish, feats of strength, and most importantly, the Trading Post where students can buy treasures with their Beaver Pelts they earned during the year.

We hope you can all come to our Leadership Day at the end of the month. There will only be 1 program this year at 1:30. Come celebrate leadership in our school. Each grade level will be participating in the program. See you on February 27!

Congratulations to our Leaders of the Month and Top Dogs! These students demonstrated excellence in behavior or academics in their classes for the month of January.

Also we celebrate our Doggone Great Parent - Brea Wentz! She is always helping in our school and willing to volunteer whenever she can. THANK YOU Mrs. Wentz! Our Alpha Dogs, voted on by teachers and staff, are Mrs. Kunz, our TK teacher, and Mrs. Ross, one of our Title I intervention technicians.

During our assembly, we also heard a song from our 2nd graders to help us remember the importance of Think Win Win.

Dr Christy Kane came to Barnett on Monday to teach families about being mentally strong and emotionally ready as it relates to mental health and being connected online. She stressed the importance of having a family media plan. She recommended for every hour you are online, have one hour offline (not counting sleeping)! We'd love to hear what you learned and what your takeaways were.

Today our school was able to host NetSmartz for 2 assemblies to continue learning during White Ribbon Week. The first assembly was for grades 3-6 and focused on safety online, as well as how to be a good digital citizen and use technology as a tool, not a lifestyle. The K-2 students heard the 4 rules of internet safety which included not sharing personal information and being kind online. Ask your children what they learned today!

These leaders showed great responsibility and effort to get to school everyday. Way to go Bulldogs!
