🐄Thank You, Southwest Dairy Farmers! 🥛
A big thank you to Southwest Dairy Farmers for coming to Barnes today and helping make the last day of school even more memorable! Our Bluejays had such a great time and were excited to see a live cow right here at school!
Students learned all about the characteristics and anatomy of dairy cows, the importance of dairy foods for good health, the modern milking process, and modern environmental and food safety practices. One of the highlights of the day was getting to watch a live milking demonstration!
Thank you for providing such a fun and educational experience for our Bluejays. It was a great way to end the school year with learning and excitement!

Today we loved welcoming back some very special visitors for the Senior Walk at Barnes! Our former Bluejays returned to their old stomping grounds to celebrate how far they’ve come and reflect on memories made here at Barnes.
The seniors visited with former teachers, enjoyed donuts, played basketball in their old gym, and even spent time on the playground with some of our current Bluejays. It was such a fun and meaningful morning filled with laughter, memories, and school pride.
We are so proud of these students and can’t wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish in the future. Once a Bluejay, always a Bluejay! 💙👏
