New Haven Public Schools - Barnard Environmental Studies Magnet School

Pilobolus Institute Visits Barnard Pilobolus is a world-renowned dance company that performed during the 2007 Oscars. Two members of the Pilobolus Institute visited Barnard to work with the fifth grade. This page displays the messages Mr. Perrone's class wanted to send to our Pilobolus leaders. It was an experience the students won't soon forget. Thanks Matt & Emily!

Our Mascot: The Osprey (bird of prey) These pictures were taken on Friday, October 13 (yes, Friday the Thirteenth). The bird pictured recently killed the pigeon and decided that Barnard would be a safe place to eat his lunch. He munched for about 20 minutes on the roof outside the 5/6 grade hallway. What a lucky school we are to see our mascot without even having to leave the building - we're also lucky that none of us are small birds...
