On Friday, November 16, Erik Olsen, author of the Flin's Destiny series, visited the third through sixth graders at Barnett Elementary.  Olsen had the students' attention right away with his slideshow of drawings from his books, laser pointer light show, and telling them the story behind his stories--how he got his inspiration for the Flin's Destiny books.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Student Neighborhood Access Program (SNAP) is a fun and comprehensive program for walking and biking safely to school that engages and educates students, parents, school administrators, crossing guards and communities. The Barnett PTA had students participate in Walk More in Four, a program by SNAP encouraging students to walk to school or around their neighborhood for four days of the four weeks in September. One student, Andrea Plascencia, participated in the program and won a new bike from UDOT.

Students at Barnett Elementary have been working hard this month to earn Brag Notes. When a student earns a brag note their name is added to the Principal’s 200 Club Board. Brag notes can be earned by making good choices, working hard in school, and being a good friend or helper just to name a few things. Once the board is full of student names we have a drawing for books and prizes. Here are the winners for the month of October. Thanks for making so many good choices Barnett Bulldogs!
