Thank you for visiting our website and staying informed. Knowing is half the battle! : )
As always, volunteers are necessary for us to carry out our many programs and events. We hope that you will consider stepping up in whatever way you are able. Your support and participation have a great impact!
*We currently need volunteers to help with the 8th Grade Masquerade Ball. We need people on Feb 24th for set up and decorating. We also need volunteers for set up, chaperoning, and clean up on Sat, Feb 25th from 5 – 9pm.
*We also need parents to serve on the PTSA nominating committee to help vet and select the slate of candidates for next year's board. This commitment requires some independent organization and reading, and just a few meetings over the next two months.
*If you are interesting in serving on next year's board, please let us know so we can forward your name and contact info to the nominating committee. You can read more about serving on the board at our new subpage: http://barberptsa.com/ptsa-board-election-info/
If you are interested in any of the above opportunities, or have questions please contact us by email at bmsptsa@gmail.com You may also leave us a note through the office staff by calling the school.
Our custom RazerDeals portal is located here for those who have not yet signed up to get daily deals with 20% of each purchase you make through the site returning to the school: http://www.razerglobal.com/ms/barber
Please sign up for our e-newsletter if you have not already. It is the quickest and easiest way for us to keep you informed. It is not always cost effective or efficient to send printed notices to our close to 980 students!
***The KidStuff Savings Books fundraiser has ended. If you have not yet returned or paid for the book you received, please do so immediately. Our coordinator would very much like to close out this fundraiser and move on to other things. Individual notices about books still unpaid/unreturned will come home on Monday.
Sadly this fundraiser fell well short of our expectations and goals for the year, but we would like to thank those families that participated and gave us their support. Also a big thank you to those teachers who did their part to distribute and track the books. We couldn't have done it without you!

COIN WARS FOR HEROES-
Our Coin War for Heroes was a huge success! The 6th Grade won the award day with a final total of $94.38 in their bottle.
The students at Barber should be very proud of themselves. The final total raised was $222.56. All proceeds will benefit local police, fire, and rescue heroes to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
