There have been several updates to the building since then bringing it to its current state. The school was named after the popular train station, Barretts Station. The area around the school was sold to the Missouri Pacific Railroad by J.R. Barretts and his wife.

There are times when I look at the picture that I am going to snap and I see how lucky I am. This happened to me at Barretts Elementary School. Seeing my grand children in some of these pictures shows me that there is hope for the future and the present is bearable. Playing the card game war, building a Lego house or watching Sponge Bob reminds me that younger generation is smarter and quicker than I am and that is the way it is supposed to be. If my grandson can give me the definition of a balloon as an inflatable rubber device and spell every word correct right off the top his head, that leaves me in the dust. As the song says teach your parents well. The fresh face of the future is our most valuable resource care for it with love.
