On Friday, December 2, 2011, Barnett’s 6th grade classes participated in their own version of the Greek Olympics. There were six teams all representing Greek city-states including the Athenians, Spartans and Minoans. Students were split into two different teams within their own classroom. They made up their own cheers and flags for their teams corresponding with team colors.

These first graders at Barnett Elementary had good behavior for the entire month and earned POPCORN DAY! During Popcorn Day the students were able to eat popcorn and watch a movie. It was a lot of fun and a great reward for those students that made great choices and worked hard.

Barnett Elementary showed respect on Veteran's Day by hosting an assembly for the whole student body. It was open to the public and featured the musical talents of the Barnett school choir. It was heart warming to hear classic, patriotic songs like, "My Country, ‘Tis of Thee," sung by over a hundred students. The assembly became even more moving when the faculty showed a Veteran's Day tribute video.

Halloween was so much fun in the Kindergarten classes!  Besides the costumes and yummy treats, we made ghost hats and necklaces with the numbers and their tallies from 1 to 10.  The numbers 1-5 were on the hats and the numbers 6-10 were on our necklaces.  We were all so proud of our work.
