Our annual BTMES Carnival took place on Tuesday, June 4. This is a day that our students and staff look forward to. This year's carnival highlights included rock painting, sack races, capture the flag, yard games, karaoke, a kickball tournament, and more!

For their community service learning project, 8th graders Hope and Grace brought therapy dogs to our school. Students had the chance to meet the pups and Hope and Grace want to make these calming dogs a regular sight at our school

Logan Kelley, alongside his father and some student volunteers helped scrape the dugouts getting them ready to paint!  This was part of Logan's CSL project. Thank you to all that helped out on this wonderful community service learning project! 

On May 21st 6th graders presented their Google Virtual Reality projects at a conference called Dynamic Landscapes. Dynamic Landscapes is a conference that showcases the innovative use of technology in classrooms.

Grades K-4 worked on this collaborative project. We first studied the artist Dale Chihuly, whose medium is glass. We spent a couple of months collecting plastic drinking bottles. Students in grades K-2 peeled labels and then painted and cut the bottles into simple forms. Students in grades 3 and 4 cut more complex forms and assembled the bottles into their final configuration.

Jordan Romero, the youngest person to climb the seven summits, visited Barre Town Middle Schoolers on Friday, May 3rd. Jordan climbed Mt. Everest when he was 13, and finished his 7th summit at the age of 15.

"Congratulations to our Barre Town students for participating in the Vermont Statewide Mathematics Fair on Saturday, April 6. Grady, Grace, and AJ took home Honorable Mention for their project on whether we can save money by feeding food scraps from the cafeteria to our chickens."

On Friday, March 29 the BTMES 7th and 8th grade drama club presented Disney's Aladdin Kids! The audience was able to fly about to a whole new world with themes of tradition, storytelling, love, and music by our incredibly talented students. 

Congrats to BTMES 8th grader, Grace who participated in the state Geo Bee in Bennington, Vermont. She missed advancing onto the next round by one point but represented Barre Town very well!
