Everyone at Barron Park made a handprint for a flag in memory of the tragedy
on September 11, 2001. We hung our
flag by the MP Room and gathered together for songs and a moment of
silence.
October 20, 2002: Fall Work Day
Barron Park parents and students pitched in to complete many tasks to
improve our school. Volunteers set up the book faire, built a platform
for our reading garden, cleaned the sandboxes, pruned roses, organized
the emergency supplies, laminated materials, built planters, and constructed
an impressive squirrel
guard to protect Room 17’s tulip bulbs.
October 21-25, 2002
This year’s Book Fair
was a huge success. Thanks to our wonderful parent organizers and our
supportive Barron Park families, we raised money for our school and added
to our classroom libraries.
October 31, 2002: Halloween Celebration
We celebrated Halloween by dressing up in costume and parading around
the playground. Our new Student Council Officers (Presidents Jordan, Vice
President Jasper, Co-Recorders Sam and Natasha, and Historian Ellen) organized
the parade and announced the classes. This year the Barron Park staff
decided to bring their favorite books to life by dressing up as storybook
characters.
December 11, 2002: Crazy Hair and Hat Day
Our first spirit day of the year was a great success and there were lots of silly hats and crazy hair at Barron Park!
December 16-20, 2002
It rained and rained and rained the week before Winter Break. A huge
branch crushed part of the fence next to the creek behind Rooms 17
and 18. And our poor field looked so much like a lake that a
sea gull decided to move in!
January 22, 2003: Clone Day
The Barron Park staff looked a lot alike on Clone Day. Luckily most
of them were back to normal the next day!
