You should really go to the Leonardo Museum in Salt Lake City.  The 5th grade students at Barnett Elementary had the opportunity to go because of a grant that they received. When they first drove up and saw it they were amazed. Inside, the ceiling was beautiful with a helioic veil.

Barnett Elementary celebrated Red Ribbon week the week of October 15-19.  Thanks to the preparation of our school's counselor, Ron Jensen, each day had its own theme and focus. Monday started off with the theme of wearing red and “One School - One Goal - Bully & Drug Free!” Teachers took the opportunity to discuss the importance of being drug free and standing up against bullying.

On September 28, 2012, some of the students from Barnett Elementary were picked up by the fire truck and taken to the fire station.  They were able to enjoy lunch with a few of the Payson firefighters and EMTs.  The students were given pencils, erasers, stickers, and coloring books to remind them about fire safety.

Our class went to Southridge Farms and we had a fantstic day of fun and learning. We went on a hay ride through the apple orchard, wove our way through an apple crate maze, played with dump trucks in a sand box, slid down an enormous slide (or a shorter one if the tall one was too big), and got a pumpkin for our classroom. Then we rode back to the Red Barn, had some delicious donuts with sprinkles, and read a coloring book that taught us about how pumpkins grow, different varieties of pumpkins, the history of pumpkins, and what pumpkins can be used for.
