🎓BHS SENIOR SCHOOL WALK:
Students and staff in the District showed out to congratulate the Barrington High School Class of 2023 during the first annual senior school walk!
Dressed in their graduation regalia, BHS seniors visited Primrose Hill Elementary School, Nayatt School, Sowams School, Hampden Meadows Elementary School, and Barrington Middle School and walked through each school building to excited applause and cheers from students lining the hallways.
Seniors stopped often to high-five elementary and middle school students and hug their former teachers. What a fantastic send off for Barrington's next graduating class as they head into graduation weekend.
The graduation ceremony for the Class of 2023 is scheduled for 2:00 PM on Victory Field. Pending inclement weather, the ceremony will be moved into the large gymnasium with additional overflow seating (livestreaming the ceremony) in the auditorium.
🤖 MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU:
Did you know May 4th is Star Wars Day? Third graders at Sowams School recently got into the Star Wars spirit with a visit from R2D2!
Cameraman and audio technician, Joe Francazio, built and programmed the life-sized Droid. He talked to third grade students about coding, engineering, and blue prints and shared about his career operating robotic cameras.
Thank you, Joe, for bringing a galaxy far, far away to Barrington. And thank you, Mrs. Adamson and Barrington Education Foundation, for making this experience possible!
