The Barton School Scoop

Our week at CBE this week stared off with a Halloween parade and lots of fun! Our first grade students went on a walking trip to the Cherry Hill Library. We also had our first recipient of Eagle Honor this week!

Congratulations to our 5th grade student who received an Eagle Honor for displaying kindness and respect to all students! He also welcomes new students to CBE and is a great student leader. We are very proud of him!

Our first Barton Gives Back project is a Food Drive in partnership with our Girl Scouts. Please see the information below.

WE have confirmed that Covered Bridge Road will be closed to all vehicles, including school buses, beginning Monday, 11/7/22 through Friday, 11/11/22, for repairs on the Covered Bridge.

Expect delays next week.

***Please take a moment to participate in the District school start time survey linked below.

Have a great weekend everyone!

The Board of Education and Administration are considering possible changes to our school starting times and ending times at all levels. We realize different grade levels have different needs. Please respond to all questions as they apply to your elementary school-aged child. The time changes listed in the survey questions are purely for gathering information and are not necessarily proposals for change.

Please take a moment to complete the brief survey found at the following link: https://tejoin.com/scroll/906311536

The food drive will run through 11/18. All donations will support the Cherry Hill Food Pantry!

Learning Growing & Giving Back

Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Cherry Hill Library for welcoming our 1st grade classes over for a special walking trip!

Items that are labeled and turned in are able to be returned to students! If something looks familiar students can access the lost and found table in the front vestibule.

Dear Clara Barton Elementary Families and Friends,

Our school is hosting a Pajama Day to help the kids at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia!We will be raising funds to support brain tumor research in honor of one of our own students Laney.

Laney is currently being featured in the CHOP Pajama Day Spotlight!

https://pajamaday.chop.edu/spotlights/

Laney has undergone five surgeries, two rounds of chemo,63 infusions and 25 rounds of proton radiation since being diagnosed. Clara Barton has been fortunate to have a miracle walking in our hallways everyday thanks to CHOP.

We Are Laney Strong!

CHOP is on the cusp of life-changing discoveries for children. They are transforming the well-being of children and creating healthier communities throughout Philadelphia and across the world.

Consider supporting us by making a tax-deductible donation as we say YAY to Pajama Day! Click the Donate button and add your child's name to the donation box. The classroom that raises the most money will be rewarded.
