Toy Drive for Alexian Brothers Hospital
The BHS FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics Team is holding a toy drive to benefit kids who are patients at Alexian Brothers. There will be a box in our office vestibule to collect new toys in their original packages. (No clothing, stuffed animals or violently-themed toys please.)
The box will be available between 12/6 and 12/20.

Next PTO Meeting is December 10th
Join us on Tuesday, 12/10 at 9:15 at Prairie. We’ll try to help you decode the grunts, eye rolls and shrugs of this joyous pre-teen/teen era - and at the very least, give you the high five you very much deserve. Register ahead of the meeting and we’ll have your VIP access pass ready to go when you get here.
Winterfest at BHS
Come on out to Winterfest at BHS to enjoy the sights and sounds of the season. Organizations, clubs and activities from throughout Barrington 220 will be featured at Winterfest on December 13th and 14th. Our very own Prairie students have been hand-crafting decorations for our Prairie tree - be sure to check it out on your way into the festivities! Tickets can be purchased here.
