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!

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!

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! 💙

🍩💙 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! 💙
