Burnett Elementary Looking for Alumni
Burnett Elementary is looking for you if you are a Barrett alumnus – the school will be celebrating its 150th birthday with an open house on May 18, 6:30 to 8pm. Principal Barbara Neal said the school would like to hear from alumni or former staffers before the event so they can be invited to the event. Neal said the school would also like pictures from the past. The pictures would be scanned and returned to their owners in order to create a photo gallery for the open house plus a permanent photo album to keep at the school.
Helping the Troops
Students at Barrett Elementary School wanted a project that would allow them to reach out and help others during the "giving season." The school's student council members decided a great way to give would be to show support for U.S. troops oversees. Students collected goodies - including lots of candy - to ship to a battalion in Iraq. The care packages were assembled last week and shipped out, hopefully reaching the troops by the holidays.
