Choir - Mrs. Duffy
Greetings, Barry Choir Parents and Families!
I am excited to share with you that Barry will be hosting an in-person spring choir concert. I am so proud of all of the hard work that students have put into choir this year, and I am looking forward to your students having the opportunity to share their work with you. Please put the spring choir concert on your family calendar for May 18th, 2021. Please read the attached letter for more information.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Computer Literacy - Mrs. Delaney
Students were given a choice between learning JavaScript OR designing a Dream Home in at Homestyler.com. Both groups are well into the work, and learning the one they chose. I'm learning lots of JavaScript along with them, and the dream homes are looking really creative!
