Our Mission

Our mission is to give our Barnwell Bears the tools and resources they need to reach their full potential, both in school and out. We are the parents and teachers who advocate for our children. We strive to use our voice to make a difference for the education, health, and welfare of Barnwell students and families.

Why Join PTO?

Get Connected

There’s no better way to know what’s happening in your school

Discover Great Resources

The PTO offers a variety of programs designed for parents as well as students.

Tap into a Network

PTO functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, building rapport and discussing issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences.

Speak Up

PTO can be a way for you to more effectively suggest change at your child’s school.

Watch Yourself Grow

By volunteering with your PTO, you put your skills and hobbies to use for a noble cause—your child and all children in the community.

Witness Improvements

By getting involved at your child’s school you’ll be part of the solution, helping make positive changes. PTO play an important role by supporting building improvements through advocacy and play an important role in fundraising for curriculum based programs and social events.

Hello!  My name is Lauren Limbaugh and I am proud to serve as PTO Co-President.  I have fifth and second graders this year, and another future Bear who is excited to be at Barnwell soon!  One thing this past year has taught is just how important school community is to us all.  I believe that when our children see us giving back to and serving our school, in both big and small ways, they take more pride in their education.  Even from home, I look forward to planning enrichment for our Students and support to our Staff, and can't wait to return to our home away from home soon!
