– Students and families from Barnard Mandarin Magnet Elementary School celebrated the start of the school year at the PTA’s third annual Day at the Bay event. In what has quickly become a favorite school tradition, the Day at the Bay brought friends old and new together at the Catamaran Hotel for a fun day of playing in the hot sand, swimming in the beautiful bay, and bouncing on a floating lily pad.
“This is my favorite day of the year because I get to see all my friends from school at the beach,” said third-grade student Simone M. “Most of my friends live all around San Diego, so it is nice that we get to meet at the beach and spend the day together in the water. Plus, the lily pad is really awesome!”
While these students hate to say “good bye” to the summer sun, the enchantment of autumn is just around the corner. The Barnard community will welcome the fall season at the Balboa Park Moon Festival on Sept. 22.
