Since 2003 an educator from one of Barrington's schools has received school-wide recognition and a personal check.
On May 6th, we were delighted to present Excellence In Education awards to three deserving and outstanding educators. Amanda Ludwig (BES music teacher), Jenn Readel (BMS special educator), and Courtney Irivine (ECLC special educator/behavior coach) received recognition for their dedication, creativity, and willingness to to go above and beyond for their students and school communities. Each educator received a plaque, $500, and a special pizza-sized cookie. Thank you Amanda, Jenn, and Courtney!
On January 19th, 2021, we delivered 42 books to BMS, BES, and the ECLC to honor the recipients of the 2019-2020 Excellence in Education (awarded all teachers and staff in the Barrington schools to recognize their extraordinary efforts in the spring of 2020). Classroom teachers were invited to select a book about social justice, diverse perspectives, and inclusion; books were also presented to the school libraries to honor the staff. Twelve generous community members joined BSF to acquire the books, making this a community collaboration to thank our town's amazing educators.
