Who is Ms. Barnes??? |
 Ms. Barnes is a 1995 graduate of Waterville Central School. She then attended the State College at Oneonta to major in Elementary Education. In her junior year, after taking an Intro to Geology course, she discovered her love for the Earth Sciences and changed her major to Geology.

While in college she was the vice president of the Geology Club, secretary for the Association of Secondary Educators, a member of GSA, the USGS, the National Honor Society for Earth Science, and the National and State Science Teacher Associations.

 Ms. Barnes started teaching here at Madison in 2001, and since that time she has taught numerous classes including, Earth Science, 7th Grade science, 8th grade natural disasters, Integrated Science, Environmental Geology, Advanced Earth Science, Intro to Astronomy and Independent Art . Her favorite part of working in Madison is her students and working with her best buddies, Mr. Burdick and Mr. S (even if they love doing experiments that put her life in danger). |
