Hello North Barrington Families!
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this past weekend! Thankfully, the weather also looks good for our Outdoor Fall Family Flick Night! Please join us at NBS this Friday evening for a free concert at 7pm and an outdoor film starting at 8pm on the soccer field! NBS students will be voting on the movie this week at school. Pizzas are also available to order. A BIG thank you to Jackie Kardesh for planning this event!
Please check out several "mini fundraisers" that are going on! More information is included in this newsletter, but our popular mask sale is back! Also, we have partnered up with Charleston Wrap for our Fall Product fundraiser! Such cute and functional products! The PTO is always so appreciative of every dollar raised!
Wishing all of you a wonderful week and I hope to see you this Friday evening!
Amy Vandenbergh

Letter from the Treasurer
We are looking forward to a great school year.
Due to changes within the district portal, we made some adjustments to our accounting process. This year, you can now pay your NBS PTO Membership Dues through Infinite Campus as part of your registration fees OR via the following link (membership, yearbook and help another student): https://barrington220.revtrak.net/b220-pto-menu/pto-nb/nb-pto-membership/#/list
The PTO Membership Dues are $15.00 per family and are optional. Membership dues help to pay for field day, assemblies, author visits, family nights, interactive habitat and much more. Fundraising dollars make up the balance. As we kick off the new school year, we are excited to host events and provide support to the students, teachers and staff at NBS. Our first two events of the year (Popsicles with the Principal and the Kindergarten Playdate) were so much fun and we look forward to hosting many more fun events throughout the school year. These funds help support our school and your child(ren)!
The “Help Another Student” donation helps provide school supplies, yearbooks and other necessities to students at NBS.
If you have any questions about PTO Membership Dues, Helping Another Student, etc., please reach out to Courtney Olson at courtney@elevatedsolutionsgroup.net
Thank you!
Courtney Olson
