Barnardsville Elementary School’s gym roared with excitement during Spring Arts Night on March 10.

Families watched and took videos as students showcased songs, movement, rhythm stick routines, and bucket drumming. Before and after the musical, families had the chance to view student artwork displayed in the art hallway and shop the book fair.

“The kids have been working so hard on this, and we’re really proud of them,” said Barnardsville Principal Bronson Honeycutt. “This is my first year here, and it feels like home already. The students and staff here are fantastic. It’s a great and welcoming community.”
