What a fun time at our Barnes Carnival! Our Bluejays had a great time enjoying the games, activities, and all the fun that made this such a special event! We love seeing our school community come together to make wonderful memories for our students and families.
A HUGE thank-you to our Barnes PTA and everyone who helped plan, organize, set up, volunteer, and make the carnival possible. These events take lots of time and hard work, and we are so grateful for everyone who pitched in to make it an amazing carnival!










Our PreK, kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade Bluejays had a blast at Touch a Truck! The students loved getting an up-close look at the vehicles, exploring, and learning more about the people and equipment that help our community.
A HUGE thank-you to everyone who pitched in, brought vehicles, volunteered their time, and came out to make this special day possible for our students! We appreciate everyone who helped create such a fun and memorable experience for our youngest Bluejays!










Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Bluejays had a great time exploring different career opportunities during Career Day! It was a wonderful chance for our students to learn about future possibilities and discover new interests. ✨
A big thank-you to Mid-Del Tech Center for taking the time to visit Barnes and share with our students! We appreciate you helping our Bluejays learn about the many opportunities available to them as they think about their futures.








Our Bluejays had a great time at this year’s Color Run! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🎉
We had another year filled with colorful fun, big smiles, and plenty of Bluejay spirit! We love seeing our students enjoying time together and making fun memories here at Barnes.
What a fun day! 💙









Mr. Becker and Mrs. Paris brought some special snacks around to our teachers today, and it was definitely appreciated! 🍪😊
A little treat and a little extra appreciation can go a long way. Thank you for thinking of our teachers and helping brighten their day!


Mrs. Shubert’s classes had some bubbly fun while learning about mixtures, solutions, and the density of water!
Our Bluejays got to see science in action as they created their own lava lamp experiments and watched the different substances interact. What a fun way to take what they’ve been learning in the classroom and turn it into a hands-on experience!
We love seeing our Bluejays learning, experimenting, asking questions, and having fun with science!
Way to go, Mrs. Shubert’s classes! 👏





We are so thankful for these two members of the Mid-Del Maintenance Department who went above and beyond to help take care of our school!
While they were at Barnes checking on the school’s windows, Mrs. Wood mentioned some rocks behind the school that needed to be cleaned up. They told her to put in a work order, but instead of waiting, they found time the very next day to come back out and take care of it themselves! 👏
We truly appreciate their willingness to pitch in and help make our school a better place for our students and staff. It’s these little acts of going the extra mile that make such a big difference! 💙
Thank you both for taking the time to help out at Barnes! We appreciate you! 💙

We are excited to recognize some of our Bluejays who have earned the most Dojo points in their grade level so far this school year! 🎉
These students have been making great choices, showing positive behavior, being responsible, and demonstrating what it means to be a great Barnes Bluejay. ⭐
We are so proud of the effort and positive choices these students are making each day! Keep up the great work, Bluejays!
Congratulations to our Dojo Point Leaders! 👏








We are so proud to recognize our September ABC Award recipients! These Bluejays were selected for demonstrating Academics, Behavior, and Character throughout the month. 📚✨
We love celebrating students who work hard, make positive choices, show kindness, and set a great example for others. These students are a wonderful reflection of what it means to be a Barnes Bluejay!
Congratulations to all of our September ABC Award recipients! We are so proud of you! 🎉





🍩💙 Donuts for Grownups! 💙🍩
We had such a special time this week celebrating Grandparents Day with our Donuts for Grownups! It was so sweet seeing our Bluejays enjoying time with their grandparents and sharing a special morning together. We loved having so many grandparents join us at Barnes!
A big thank-you to everyone who stopped by the School Book Fair after enjoying their donuts! 📚 Your support is helping us raise money to purchase new books for our library for our Bluejays to enjoy.
All of the profits from our book fair go directly back into the library, so every book purchased helps us add more exciting books and resources for our students. 📖
Thank you to all of our grandparents for spending part of your day with us, and to everyone who supported our book fair and our Barnes library! We are so grateful for our wonderful school community! 💙📚









Our Bluejays had a great time on Friday with The NED Show! NED taught our students some important lessons through an entertaining and engaging assembly centered around three simple messages:
⭐ Never Give Up
⭐ Encourage Others
⭐ Do Your Best
We loved seeing our students laughing, participating, and learning while being reminded that these three ideas can help them both in the classroom and in everyday life.
Thank you to The NED Show for bringing such a fun and meaningful message to Barnes! We hope our Bluejays keep NED’s message with them and remember to Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best! 💙










Sometimes you just have to pitch in where you’re needed! This week, Mr. Becker was happy to lend a hand in the cafeteria and help serve lunch to our Bluejays. 🍽️😊
We appreciate our principal being willing to jump in and help wherever he can. Our students loved seeing a familiar face helping out at lunchtime! 💙
Thanks for pitching in, Mr. Becker! We’re lucky to have you! 💙

🎉🎂 Birthday Bags for Our Bluejays! 💙
Our Barnes Student Council has been busy spreading some birthday cheer by putting together birthday bags for our Bluejays! 🎈🎁
We love seeing our students take the time to do something thoughtful for their classmates and help make their birthdays a little more special. What a great example of kindness and caring for others!
Way to go, Student Council! We are so proud of you! 💙✨

Our Bluejays showed their support for the Carl Albert Titans today by dressing in their Titan cheerleader outfits and bringing lots of school spirit to Barnes! 📣✨
We loved seeing our students show their Titan pride as they get ready to cheer on the Carl Albert Titans at tonight’s football game!
Go Titans! 💙🏈📣

Our first graders are having fun while practicing their addition facts with Play-Doh! 🤗 Using hands-on learning makes math even more exciting as students create, count, and solve addition problems. 🔢✨
Who knew practicing math facts could be so much fun? Great job, first graders! 👏💙








Mrs. Shubert’s 5th graders took advantage of these hot days to dive into physical changes in matter!
Students designed and built their own thermal conductors, then put their creations to the test by using the heat of the sun to make delicious s’mores! ☀️🔥🍪
Who says science can’t be fun (and tasty)? These 5th graders are learning that the best experiments are the ones you get to eat! 😋
Great job, Mrs. Shubert’s class, for turning a hot day into a hands-on science adventure! 👏




We created this tool to help families plan and schedule vacations during school breaks whenever possible. Enjoy the upcoming days off, and remember, every school day matters!
