The Barnum K-Kids showed their respect as they marched in East Meadow's Memorial Day parade to honor and remember veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The second graders turned Barnum Woods into a Living Museum on V.I.P. Day! Students completed research projects on famous people, past and present, and showcased their research to the V.I.P.s, while dressed head to toe as these well-known figures!
Legislator Tom McKevitt visited Barnum’s 5th graders to present and explain Nassau County's local government, the history of East Meadow, and the great state of New York. He had everyone participating and kept them engaged as they learned these important facts!

CRAZY HAIR DAY AT BARNUM WOODS!

It was an EMERALD CITY CELEBRATION! The Barnum Woods PTA outdid themselves by providing a WICKEDly delicious luncheon for the BW staff! The gymnasium was decorated so wonderfully that it felt like we were stepping into the Land of Oz! Thank you, BWPTA, for a spectacular feast!
The East Meadow School District partnered with LICADD to provide a presentation to raise awareness about the dangers of vaping, inform our 5th graders about the risks to their health, and provide them with strategies to avoid using e-cigarettes and other vaping products.
The teachers and staff have been welcomed each morning with "Wicked"ly delicious sweets and treats in honor of Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! Thank you, Barnum Woods PTA, for making us feel so "popular" and special! 🩷💚
HAPPY 70th ANNIVERSARY BARNUM WOODS! Students and staff joined in a Parade of Decades with each grade dressing up to represent a different decade, ranging from the 1950s to the 2020s, while staff members represented the 1970s! Each grade voted on their favorite song from that decade to march to while their present day favorite songs, candies, games, collectibles, shows, and outdoor activities were announced as they proudly walked down the parade route! A beautiful tree was planted in the front of the school to symbolize Barnum’s growth and longevity and in honor of the school’s history and bright future. A time capsule was created containing each class’ favorites and class letters to the future that was buried by the new tree. When Barnum reaches its next big milestone, this time capsule will be excavated and read to the future students of Barnum Woods. A special thanks to the Barnum Woods School Spirit Squad for organizing this amazing event. It was a wonderful day of remembering, honoring, (and even some dancing) to celebrate 70 years of Barnum Woods!
