Today we revealed our OBOB book...Og the Frog! 🐸📚 We are SO excited to kick off this reading adventure together!

We hope your family will hop right in and enjoy the journey of learning, laughing, and reading alongside Og. Information came home today, and we’d love for you to be part of the fun! Please share your photos and moments with us throughout this week and beyond! 📸💚

A HUGE thank you to our amazing sponsors for making this experience possible for our students and families: Geoff & Bobbi Gordon, Preston Cars, Putt Street Social, Meijer, and Barr PTO.

And don’t forget, students will wear their OBOB T-shirts every Monday as we celebrate our reading journey together! 👕✨

Let the reading fun begin! 🎉📖

As we wrap up our 2026 Read-A-Thon, we want to extend our sincere thanks for your incredible support. This event was a huge success because of your encouragement, participation, and enthusiasm for reading.

Before we officially close things out, we have a few important reminders:
All students should be sure to spend their RAT Bucks in the prize store. Any RAT Bucks not used within 10 days after the Read-A-Thon ends on May 2nd will expire and will no longer be available. Please note that once the prize store closes, it cannot be reopened. All prizes will be shipped directly to the school for distribution.
To access the prize store, please use the following link:

We are pleased to share a video that captures what Barr Elementary represents! Our students, staff, families, and the strong sense of community are what make Barr such a special place.

This video highlights the many things that make Barr unique and celebrates the relationships, opportunities, and experiences that help our students grow each day.

A special thank you goes to Matt Patron for creating this video and helping bring the Barr story to life! Also, thank you to all who share their stories of Barr! We greatly appreciate the time that went into making this project possible.

We hope you enjoy watching and celebrating all that makes Barr Elementary such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and SOAR! 💚🦅💛
