Good morning,

On Tuesday, June 21st, students will spend the morning outside participating in several fun activities with their classes (think relay races, parachute games, etc.). Outdoor Day will culminate with a barbeque for lunch before students return to their classrooms for the afternoon. We need volunteers to help with setup, running the stations, and cleanup (June 21, 8:30am-11:30am). We are looking for more volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up. If you are interested and able to volunteer (set-up, run a station, clean up), please submit your name and email address via this Sign Up Genius and PTO volunteers will be in touch with the details.

You will need to know your username and password for Aspen in order to access your child’s. If you do not have this information, you should email x2help@barringtonschools.org to request it. We do not have this information at the school.
- Moving?: If your child is not coming back to Sowams School because you are moving either out of the neighborhood or out of Barrington or your child will be going to a private school, please let us know. We want to make sure records are ready to be shared with your child’s new school. If your current third grader is not going to Hampden Meadows next year, you may also let us know. Please email either Mrs. Kotsiris (kotsirisc@barringtonschools.org) or me (callahanj@barringtonschools.org) to let us know.
- Community Notices: Hampden Meadows School has their play (Heroes vs. Villains) this weekend. You may find out more information about tickets and showtimes here.
Have a wonderful day and weekend.
Best,
