Our Barton V5 Team - “Measure Once, Cut Twice” - embodied our school's mission of exposing our students to “Advanced World Studies” as they competed in Dallas at the Vex V5 Worlds Middle School Competition. In their final qualification match, our #bartonexplorers were paired with a team from Jiangxi, China. They used Google translate to strategize. Congrats to Mrs. Bolton, Mrs. Leousis, and our entire Barton Robotics Team on a phenomenal year! A special thanks to the Barton Academy Foundation and Barton PTO for supporting our students as they represented us on the world stage.
Congratulations to Mrs. Nicholson who recently received exciting news concerning three professional development grant opportunities! This summer, Mrs. Nicholson will be participating in a two-day workshop on integrating the science of modern food production into her classroom - soil & water quality, high-tech science careers, biotechnology in agriculture, and biofuels. Mrs. Nicholson also received a scholarship to participate in the “Mountains to the Gulf” expedition, learning about the ecology of Alabama. Additionally, she received word that she has been selected to be an X-STEM Fellow 25-26 for the Gulf Coast.
