The Barrett Bulletin

Dear Barrett Russell Families,

🌅 RISE & SHINE! 🌅

At Barrett Russell, we believe every child has something special to share. Each morning is a new opportunity for our students to rise with confidence, curiosity, and kindness—and to shine by being the amazing individuals they are!

Throughout the year, we will encourage our youngest learners to:

☀️ Rise to new challenges
✨ Shine by trying their best
❤️ Be Respectful
🌟 Be Responsible
🛡️ Be Safe
🌈 Be Kind

Pre-K is the beginning of an exciting educational journey, and we are honored to take these important first steps alongside your children. Together, our families, teachers, paraprofessionals, and staff will create a joyful and supportive school community where every child can RISE, SHINE, and GROW!

Let’s Rise & Shine, Barrett Russell! ☀️✨

With excitement,

Miss Marybeth
Principal
Barrett Russell Early Childhood Center

WOW! Thank you SO MUCH to our wonderful school community for your generous donations. Due to your hard work, we are able to replace so much of our playground equipment and provide our students with fun activities! We raised OVER our goal of $5,000! Our fundraiser portal closes officially on Monday, October 26th, and I will announce the official student and classroom winners then!

Our annual Harvest Parade is on Friday, October 30th (9:15 for MORNING students and 1:00 for AFTERNOON students). Families are welcome to join us on that day to watch classrooms parade outside in their costumes. Please do not send students in with masks or anything that fully covers their face (preschool appropriate costumes only). If it rains that day, the parade will be held indoors for school staff only due to limited space. Thank you!
