Join us Saturday, May 11 from noon until 2 p.m. at Thompson Park for a great family event featuring a discussion with the illustrator and author of Just Roll With It, Veronica Agarwal and Lee Durfey-Lavoie.

Clown Around
Barrington PTO is proud to host Clown Around 2024 again this year! On Friday, May 17, 2024, we will have fun games and activities available to kids of all ages and invite the families of Barrington students to join the fun after school from 3-5 PM. Our goal is
to make Clown Around a FREE EVENT for all Barrington students and families so your support is greatly appreciated! In lieu of selling tickets to the event, we are asking each student to raise $40 or more to help in meeting our Barrington goal of $25,000. We are grateful for any level of financial support you are willing to offer our students. There is no required donation. Families can also help by sponsoring an activity at the event. If you would like to sponsor the event or donate to Clown Around, please click here. Corporate sponsorships must be submitted by May 1st to be included on signage during the event. And, each week up until the event, students will see how they are tracking toward the school goal of $25,000. If this goal is met, the students will enjoy a free recess full of fun and treats!
Lost & Found
The lost & found is filling up again. Please have your children take a minute to carefully look for anything missing in our lost and found, which can be found in the stairwell closest to the office. We have nearly 100 items of coats, sweatshirts, gloves, mittens, hats, lunch boxes and water bottles. Thank you in advance for helping us keep this area tidy.Teacher Appreciation Week
