Congratulations, Barnes Bluejays Botball Team!
We are incredibly proud of our Barnes Bluejays for their outstanding performance in Botball. Students worked through nine different challenges, earning a completion button for every task their team successfully finished. Teams were required to complete seven challenges to earn the Botball Challenge Champion title — and our Bluejays went above and beyond by completing ALL of the challenges, earning Championship recognition! 🏆
Throughout the competition, students programmed their autonomous robots to complete a variety of complex tasks. Each challenge required careful coding, testing, teamwork, and problem-solving as students refined their robots’ performance.
A huge congratulations to Ms. Gena Wilkerson on her first year coaching Botball — what an incredible achievement! Her Bluejay team did an amazing job and represented Barnes with excellence.
Way to go, Bluejays! Your hard work and perseverance truly paid off, and we can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the future! 💙👏
Kindness Week at Barnes!
Our Barnes Bluejays had an amazing time celebrating Kindness Week! Each day was a fun reminder that small acts of kindness make a big difference.
We kicked things off with “We Can Work It Out” by wearing sweats and workout gear 🏃♀️, rocked the halls for “Kindness Rocks” in our favorite band shirts and rockstar outfits 🎸, dressed our best for “Picture Perfect Kindness” 📸, and wrapped up the week cozy in pajamas for “Dream of a Kinder Future.” 💤
It was a week full of smiles, encouragement, and Bluejay spirit. We are so proud of our students for spreading kindness throughout our school! 💙
