Barber Has Come Home

 

In January, 2008, the last classes were held in the old Barber School building on Garry Rd.   Beginning on February 4 of that year, Barber students began bussing to their temporary home in the old Mason School.   The last classes at the old Mason building were Friday, December 18, 2009.

Nearly two years after the first busses arrived at Mason, Barber students and staff are back again on Garry Rd., but this time in a brand new building.   The new Barber Community Learning Center opened its doors to students on Monday, January 4, 2010.

 

Opened in 1930

Demolished in 2008

 

Construction begins in 2008

Opened in 2010

 


Students Explore the Past
 
Barber fourth graders became amateur explorers of early Ohio on the afternoon of November 4 when the Summit County Historical Society visited presenting a lesson from its fourth grade outreach series entitled A River Through Time.

Led by Society educator, Mrs. Mary Conley, the students traced the history of native people in Ohio beginning with the Ice Age, through the Paleo period, on to the rise of the Mound Builders, and finally studying the Woodland tribes.

Students learned about and handled artifacts, tools, and clothing from those eras.
