Barnhart Parent Group

The Barnhart Parents Group (BPG) is a vital part of our school’s community and culture, built on a strong tradition of parent involvement. Volunteering is one of the most meaningful ways for families to connect—not only with one another, but also with our teachers and school leadership. Once you become a Barnhart parent, you are automatically a member of the BPG and an essential part of our community.

At Barnhart, we believe a strong volunteer spirit helps our school thrive. To support this culture, each family is required to contribute a minimum of 20 volunteer service hours per school year. These hours are essential—not just to keep things running smoothly, but also for strengthening our community and enhancing the overall experience for all students.

Volunteering is a meaningful way for our parents and families to stay engaged, show support for our students, and enrich the Barnhart school experience. It also sets a powerful example for our children to witness and teach them the value of commitment, service, community involvement, and shared responsibility.

There are so many ways to get involved—whether it's running a booth at the Carnival, assisting with the Gala, helping out on Sports Day, making decorations for STEAM Week, or supporting classroom activities. No matter your schedule or interests, there's a place for every parent to contribute.
