Broken Bow Schools

🌟 SHINE On Staff Spotlight 🌟 Mrs. Mikyla Barnett School Counselor 💙 Celebrating School Counselor Week 💙 This week, as we celebrate School Counselor Week, we are especially excited to shine the spotlight on Mrs. Mikyla Barnett, whose heart for students and dedication to our school make a lasting impact every day. With 6 years in education, Mrs. Barnett is in her fifth year with Broken Bow Public Schools and her second year at Bennett Elementary. After coming from the high school setting, she has embraced the elementary world and truly enjoys being surrounded by the energy, excitement, and growth of our students. Her passion for building relationships and supporting the whole child is evident in everything she does. Mrs. Barnett loves working alongside an amazing and supportive staff, and she plays a vital role in helping create a school environment where students feel safe, encouraged, and ready to learn. Whether she’s offering guidance, lending a listening ear, or celebrating student successes, her presence makes Bennett a better place. She lives by the words: “Don’t let the hard days win.” — Sarah J. Maas “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” — Winston Churchill When she’s not busy supporting students, Mrs. Barnett enjoys a Pepsi and peanut butter M&M’s, grabbing a bite at Mi Ranchito, and planning her next adventure—she loves to travel! During School Counselor Week, and every week, we are so thankful for Mrs. Barnett and the difference she makes in the lives of our students. Thank you for being a steady support, a positive influence, and a true example of what it means to SHINE at Bennett Elementary! ✨
