First grade and Kindergarten had a special visit from Miss Shelby County Volunteer, Jewel Bodkins. She spoke to the students about kindness and each student made a special Valentine for a friend or loved one as a way to show kindness. Students practiced identifying kind and unkind behaviors and helped brainstorm ways they could show kindness every day.

Celebrating Shelly Russell at Bargerton Elementary School ~ I am Shelly Russell. I am a graduate of Lexington High School and the University of Memphis. I taught English Language Arts in 7th and 8th grade for twelve years before moving into the counselor's office this year. I have been blessed beyond measure to be back at my alma mater, Bargerton.
My parents are Tyrone and Sue Smith. I have one son Hunter, daughter-in-law Brihanna, and two grandsons Royce and Noble, along with 6 bonus grandkids thanks to Rodney Reynolds.
My favorite thing to do is to travel, and my favorite place is the beach. I love coffee, cats, and chocolate. A little known fact about me, I was once bitten by one of Earnest Hemmingway's six-toed cats.
Bargerton Beta Club is excited to announce they will host a penny war this year to help raise money for their end-of-the-year trip. Each grade will have a milk jug outside the office to drop their pennies in. Classes will be able to sabotage each other by dropping silver coins in other class jugs. The class with the most pennies will receive an ice cream party.

We want to send a special thank you to our school counselors in the Henderson County School District. We appreciate everything that each of you do!
National School Counseling Week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association, is celebrated February 5-9, 2024, to focus public attention on the unique contribution of school counselors within United States school systems and how students benefit as a result of school counselors. National School Counseling Week highlights school counselors' tremendous impact in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
This week honors school counselors for being actively engaged in helping students examine their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents; for working with parents as they encounter the challenges of raising children in today’s world; for focusing on positive ways to enhance students’ academic, career, and social/emotional development; and working with teachers and educators to provide an educational system where students realize their potential and set healthy, realistic, and optimistic aspirations for themselves. School counselors are certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling. The combination of their training and experience makes them an integral part of the total educational program.

Pre-K made 100 glasses to wear while celebrating 100 days of school.
2nd graders celebrated the 100th day of school by participating in several fun activities! They made 100-year-old puppets, made a snack mix with 100 goodies, colored a mystery picture, and guessed how many licks it would take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop!!
These students were great problem solvers each day and were nominated by their homeroom teacher.
