ALL BARRY FAMILIES
Character Strong - Family Dares
I hope you all had a chance to participate in last week's family dare: Walking Trash Pick Up.
Please consider joining us in this week's family dare: Family Walk. We asked our Principal's Advisory Team to help create family dares that they would like to participate in with their families. With the upcoming great weather this week, they indicated they would love to go on a walk with their family. Leave your technology behind and enjoy some time on a family stroll in your neighborhood or at a nearby park!

Archery State Competition
The Barry School Archery Team had the opportunity to compete at the state level over spring break in Branson, Mo. Barry was one of 170 schools who participated in this much anticipated event after being cancelled just days before the competition last year. We are now looking forward to competing at the national level in hopes of making it to the Open Championship which will be held in Myrtle Beach, SC. in June. Shout-outs go to Brody Hawk (6th grade) who ranked 22nd and Charlie Forrester (8th grade) who ranked 78th out of 568 archers. Our entire team of 24 kids did great and we look forward to continuing the journey.
