Dear Barr Middle School Families,
Tuesday, May 19th promises to be an exciting and meaningful day across the Nanuet School District, with several wonderful opportunities for our students and families to come together as a community.
The 2026-2027 Budget Vote and Board Election will take place from 7:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. in the Nanuet Senior High School gym. We encourage all eligible community members to participate in this important process and model civic engagement for our students.
That same evening, our talented Grade 6 musicians and singers will take the stage for the Grade 6 Spring Concert at 7:00 p.m. in the Nanuet High School Auditorium. We look forward to celebrating the hard work and accomplishments of our student performers.
In addition, from 3:00–7:00 p.m., Nanuet will host a district-wide Student Voting Experience at Nanuet High School. Providing students with opportunities to participate in voting helps empower them and builds a stronger understanding of civic responsibility and community involvement. These experiences directly connect to the New York State Portrait of a Graduate, which emphasizes the importance of developing informed, engaged, and responsible citizens.
Barr Middle School students will have the opportunity to vote on which organization should receive the proceeds raised through dunk booth ticket sales at our June 12 PBIS End-of-Year Carnival. Throughout the school year, our students have worked with and learned from organizations that support inclusion, mental health awareness, and environmental responsibility. The organizations students will vote on are:
- Beyond the Diagnosis
- Keep Rockland Beautiful
- JCK Foundation
- Therapy Dogs of Rockland
As an added incentive, all Barr students who participate in the student vote on May 19 will be entered into a raffle to win three free dunk tank throws at the PBIS Carnival!
May 19th is the perfect opportunity for families to spend time together while participating in events that celebrate civic responsibility, student voice, community engagement, and the arts. We hope to see many of our Barr families come out to vote, support our students, and enjoy an evening of music and community together.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Regards,
Mrs. O'Sullivan
