Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at the Blue Eagle Market on Saturday!

CONGRATULATIONS to Victoria Lau who was the winner of our door prize - the Go Trojans porch signs made by Reilee Schenck!

The Barnesville Area Community Fund has always supported Barnesville Public Schools in so many ways. Grants, scholarships, special Giving Hearts Day projects and the Hall of Honor just to mention a few.

With the 1st Day of School just around the corner we thought it would be fun to LIFT UP up all of the Barnesville teachers with a giveaway! We have a special canvas bag, book published by West Central Initiative and WCI journal.

In the comments, name what Barnesville teacher you think should receive this special gift package. The winner will be randomly selected from those nominated and announced on Wednesday, September 2.

THANK YOU to all the Barnesville Public School teachers as they begin another school year. The role you play in educating our youth is so critically important.

The Barnesville is proud to have provided financial support to this project providing a great new activity for Barnesville Elementary students!

Barnesville Elementary physical education teacher Jacob Grosz and Principal Todd Henrickson thank Erwin Miller for building and donating a new Gaga pit to the school as his Eagle Scout project.

This wonderful addition will provide students with another fun way to stay active during physical education classes, recess, and after-school hours. Thank you, Erwin, for your hard work, generosity, and commitment to Barnesville Elementary!
