Clara Barton Elementary

Yesterday we celebrated our amazing 5th graders as they crossed the stage at promotion! 🎓✨

We are so proud of all they have accomplished during their time at Clara Barton and can’t wait to see all the incredible things they will do in middle school and beyond. Once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat! 🐾💙

Can you believe the excitement wasn’t over after the egg drop? 🥚✨

Today, we were thrilled to welcome graduating seniors from RHS back to Barton for our very first Grad Walk! These students joined us during their 5th grade year—the very first year Clara Barton opened its doors. 🥹

Seeing them return in their caps and gowns was a special reminder of how far they’ve come and the incredible impact they’ve had on our school community. We are truly touched that you chose to share this milestone celebration with us.

Thank you for leading our pack from the very first day we opened. We are so proud of all you have accomplished and can’t wait to see where your next adventures take you. Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓🐾

The fun continues at Barton today! 🥚🎉

This afternoon, our students put their creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork to the test during the Egg Drop Challenge. Using a variety of recycled materials and plenty of imagination, students designed containers to help their eggs survive the fall.

A big thank you to the Clara Barton PTSA for organizing this exciting event and providing volunteers to make it possible. We were thrilled to see many eggs make a safe landing—while others had a smashing good time! 😄

Way to go, Bobcats!

🎭✨ Our 1st graders took the stage and shined during their service learning project performance of Character Matters! Through their acting, singing, and storytelling, students shared important lessons about the Barton 5: integrity, empathy, grit, self discipline and embracing diversity.

We are so proud of the confidence, teamwork, and heart our young performers demonstrated as they brought these meaningful messages to life.

Way to go, 1st graders! 👏💙

🎨 Join us tonight for the PTSA Family Art Walk at 7:00 PM! 🎨

Take a stroll through the commons and enjoy a showcase of the incredible creativity of our Bobcats. Every class will have at least one piece of student artwork on display, making this a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the talents and hard work of our students.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the amazing art you’ll see tonight! 👀✨

In addition to the gallery walk, there will be fun, hands-on art activities for families to enjoy together. We hope to see you there for an evening of creativity, community, and celebration!

Our K–2nd grade students were captivated today as StoryBook Theater visited to present a wonderful play about the life and adventures of Jane Goodall! 🐒🌿

Through storytelling, music, and performance, students learned about Jane Goodall’s incredible work with chimpanzees, her love for animals, and the importance of protecting our world. It was an engaging and inspiring experience that brought learning to life for our youngest Bobcats!

A huge thank you to StoryBook Theater for sharing this memorable performance with our students, and to the Clara Barton Elementary PTSA for making this amazing experience possible!

Wow, Bobcats! You did an amazing job at today’s fun run! 🏃‍♀️🎉 Our students had an incredible time showing their energy, enthusiasm, and school spirit every step of the way.

A huge thank you to our amazing for organizing such a fun and successful event—we appreciate all the hard work that went into making the day so special! We are also so grateful to our wonderful community for your generosity and support.

What a great day for our school community!

What an incredible Talent Show on Thursday! 🌟 Our students truly amazed us with their courage, creativity, and dedication. From beautiful singing and energetic dancing to impressive instrument performances, every act was inspiring in its own unique way.

It takes bravery to step on stage and share your talents, and we couldn’t be prouder of each performer who did just that. Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, and cheered on our students—what a special day to celebrate the many talents in our community! 👏🎤🎶

We just wrapped up an unforgettable time at camp! 🌲✨

Our students showed incredible courage, kindness, and enthusiasm as they tried new things, built friendships, and made memories that will last a lifetime. From outdoor adventures to late-night laughs, it’s been an amazing experience for everyone involved.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our families for trusting us with your children and for giving them the opportunity to attend camp. Your support made this experience possible, and we are so grateful.

We can’t wait to hear all your favorite stories! 💚
