The Barrington School Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports and collaborates with our public schools. We aim to support educational initiatives and innovative projects in the Barrington schools. Our mission of enhancing learning opportunities beyond those typically provided by public funds and assuring the children of Barrington, NH reap the benefits of their public school experiences is made possible through donations and an endowment.

Jumpstart to Literacy PJ Party 2025 was a blast!
Jumpstart to Literacy PJ Party 2025 was a blast!
For the 25th anniversary of the Barrington School Foundation’s founding, we brought back the beloved Jumpstart to Literacy Pajama Party!
We gathered on January 29th from 6-7pm at the Early Childhood Learning Center for an evening of children’s literature and fun (56 kiddos and their grown ups came...over 100 Barrington residents excited about reading together!). Jess Linden, the 2024-2025 Excellence in Education recipient, read the Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boyton. The middle school Kindness Ambassadors guided the children through a number of activities relating to the story, such as giving their stuffed animals a bubble bath, designing pajamas for them, brushing their teeth, and rocking them to sleep. Every child went home with a book or two! The 7th and 8th grade band members played a lovely lullaby for the everyone.
Thank you to everyone who came and made this such a wonderful night! The BMS Kindness Ambassadors and band members were such a treat. We were delighted that so many families came to support reading with their little ones.
