Kudos to Coach Kinslow on the successful ex*****on of his inaugural Field Day. Our students thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

If you attended, please share your favorite photographs below.

Special recognition to Blaire Dunn Zessin, Teddi Weber and Ms. Robertson for their early morning dedication to setting up the event.

Appreciation is also extended to Culver's for their generous donation of ice cream and to theKansas City Royals, My Kid's Dentist and Orthodontics, and Clay County, Missouri Government Parks and Rec for hosting engaging activities during Field Day. The PTA covered field day expenses, including lunch (thanks Casey's!) for our awesome Platte Purchase Middle SchoolNJHS volunteers!

It’s May… and life is BUSY 😅🧡🖤

We’re still looking for a few volunteers to help with Field Day set up & tear down on Wednesday, May 20th. Even helping for just 30 minutes or an hour would make a huge difference and help Coach Kinslow make this a great day for our kids!

If you’re willing and able to help, please sign up below. We truly appreciate the support! 🧡🖤

Throughout May, the PTA has been expressing its deep gratitude to Barry Elementary staff, made possible by the generosity of our families and business sponsors. Some highlights of our appreciation efforts (beyond the traditional teacher appreciation week) included:

☕️ partnering with Tucker Time Coffee, a Platte County family-owned business, to bring coffee and yummy drinks to staff
🎟️ organizing a raffle supported by Hy-Vee on Barry Road, Glory Days Threads, Hair Today, Nails Tomorrow, and parent donations;
🧁 deploying our beloved treat cart
💸 monetarily supporting individual teachers with classroom expenses associated with end of the year fun via reimbursement.

WE 💕 OUR BARRY STAFF!!

Wednesday = Fuel Your Teacher! ☕🧡🖤
Have your student bring a teacher or staff member a favorite drink, snack, treat, or gift card. It can even be something simple—like an act of kindness “gift card”!

Let’s show our Barry staff some extra love! 🧡🖤✨

Join us tomorrow night for our last PTA meeting of the school year. We’re gonna hear from our principles, pre-K teachers, as well as Mr. Brian Noller, regarding our title I status. We will have some light snacks available to finish out the school year. You don’t have to be a member to join us tomorrow night!

🚀 Got a little extra time tonight?

Help your student create a fun, space-themed bookmark to celebrate our amazing teachers and staff at Barry Elementary! 🌟📚

Let them get creative—rockets, stars, planets, aliens…anything space goes! Then bring it in tomorrow to brighten a staff member’s day.

It’s a small gesture that makes a BIG impact! 🧡🖤
