Hough's Lucky Horseshoe Scavenger Hunt is this Saturday!

Register your family for a St. Paddy's Day-themed scavenger hunt around downtown Barrington. Pick up materials at Hough's front door starting at 1pm on 3/18, and return by 3pm for a prize! The scavenger hunt is self-paced/guided and an adult must accompany your group. All family members are welcome! Please contact Abby Bellgrau with questions at abigail.bellgrau@gmail.com.

Lost & Found Items

We have asked all students to check the Lost & Found over the next few days. All items will be on display outside of the Library during Parent Teacher Conferences. Any remaining items will be donated over Spring Break.

Big Playground Closed March 24 - 25

Hough’s rooftop mechanical HVAC units will be replaced during Spring Break. This will require a crane to remove and position all equipment. The crane will need to be placed on the large playground beginning Friday morning, March 24th through Saturday evening on the 25th. In order to maintain safety, the large playground will be closed these two days.
