America First Credit Union Donates Shoes to Barnett

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

Some lucky students from Barnett Elementary received an early Christmas present thanks to America First Credit Union. For the second year in a row, America First Credit Union chose Barnett Elementary to donate brand new shoes and socks to 50 students. The lucky kids were brought altogether along with their families and on the count of three opened their gifts to find a sparkling, brand new pair of shoes and comfy socks. The students, families, and Barnett staff are very thankful to America First Credit Union for the joy they brought to our school that day.

Becoming "Stuck" on Reading

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

The responsible students who turned in their reading calendar for October were privileged to take part in a taping event.  Mrs. Angela Stoddard and Mr. Austin Cope became stuck to the wall as each child who had turned in a calendar was given a piece of duct tape to tape to those two.  Since this was a slightly laborious task, the students who waited all brought books and most students read throughout the waiting period.

Annual Gobble Off

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

Every year students get to compete for the best turkey gobble in the school.  To prepare, each class did a competition to decide on a winner from each class. Then each of those winners got to compete with the rest of the student winners in the school.  The judges for this year's Gobble Off were Mr. Don Applegate and Mrs. Shalynn Murdoch.  After narrowing down the 20 or so candidates to five gobblers, Justin Reynaud from Ms. Robyn Curtis's class won the all-school Gobble Off!  Justin won a turkey to take home; the other contestants took home a large candy bar.

Parents & Pastries

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

The second to last week in November was an exciting week! Not only did SEPs take place that week and a week-long book fair, but Tuesday was the day of Parents and Pastries! The halls of the school echoed with the noise of parents and students eating their donuts, buying books, and reading in the hallway.  It is a wonderful tradition that we're grateful we were able to continue this year thanks to the PTA!
