Collaborations

In addition to collaborating with the Barrington’s schools, we team up with other town organizations like the PTO and End68 Hours of Hunger to do projects that support our town’s children and educators.  We collaborate with local businesses as well.

In early December we team up with the Barrington Parks & Rec Center, Library, ECLC, and Barrington PTO to create a Polar Express-themed event! Every year  hundreds of Barrington kiddos (and their families) come experience the holiday cheer .  We hand out winter/holiday books and activities and make sure families know about the Dolly Parton Imagination Library.  Such fun!

In the spring/early summer we collaborate with End 68 Hours of Hunger Barrington to provide children in our town with some summer essentials.  We provide a bag of reading materials, sunblock, art supplies, games, and bug repellent bracelets for Barrington kiddos who participate in End 68 of Hunger. We wish them a safe, creative, and fun summer! 

To kick of 2022, we started a rotating display of student artwork at Pond View Acres Assisted Living.  Each month a BSF volunteer coordinates getting fresh student artwork into the Pond View Acres common room. It's a wonderful collaboration between Pond View Acres, BMS and BES art teachers, and student artists.

We want to thank everyone who participated in the ECLC/BSF summer book swap.  Thank you to all who generously donated books.  Thank you to all who came to pick up new reading materials, we hope you enjoy them! Thank you to the ECLC for being such wonderful partners.
