The holidays traditionally are a time when many like to thank and recognize their child's teacher. The Barrington 220 Educational Foundation's Teacher Tributes are a quick and thoughtful way to do so! The money raised helps the Foundation fund progams and grants for the district. Honorees will receive personalized cards to commemorate your thoughtful donation. New this year, you can also add a short message. Tributes will be delivered to your child's school by December 22nd. Honorees will also be acknowledged on the Foundation's website. Click here to make your Holiday Teacher Tribute donation today.
