Big moment for our Barnes Bluejays! 💙✂️
Today, Barnes Elementary celebrated the completion of its new classroom addition and storm shelter, a space designed to support learning and provide an added layer of safety for our students and staff.
This project is a direct result of our community’s support of the recent bond election, and we are incredibly grateful. Because of you, our students have access to safe, modern learning environments where they can thrive.
The highlight of the day? Our very own Barnes kindergarten students helped cut the ribbon! These future first graders will be the very first to learn in the new classrooms this fall, and we can’t wait to see them grow in this space.
Thank you for investing in our schools and our future.

Our 7th- and 8th-grade teachers are doing incredible work through the Coach.Teach.Write Grant in partnership with Oklahoma State University and the National Writing Project.
Through this experience, they’ve deepened their understanding of writing instruction and are making intentional moves to reengage adolescent writers in meaningful ways.
What stands out most? Their commitment to growth. These educators are embracing new learning, taking risks in their classrooms, and strengthening the writing experience for every student they serve.
Their dedication is making a difference, and it shows.
