Clown Around

Barrington PTO is proud to host Clown Around 2024 again this year! On Friday, May 17, 2024, we will have fun games and activities available to kids of all ages and invite the families of Barrington students to join the fun after school from 3-5 PM.

This fundraiser is so important to Barrington, as it is one of the school’s primary fundraising events, and 100% of our net proceeds directly benefit our amazing student population. Funds raised help provide resources to enrich the learning environment with tools and programming not covered by the regular School District budget such as field trips and guest speakers, so that all students can have equitable access to the same opportunities.

Our goal is to make Clown Around a FREE EVENT for all Barrington students and families so your support is greatly appreciated! In lieu of selling tickets to the event, we are asking each student to raise $40 or more to help in meeting our Barrington goal of $25,000. We are grateful for any level of financial support you are willing to offer our students. There is no required donation. Additionally, there are other great ways that you can help support!

Sponsorships! Families can also help by sponsoring an activity at the event. If you would like to sponsor the event or donate to Clown Around, please click here. Corporate sponsorships must be submitted by May 1st to be included on signage during the event.

Volunteers! We are in great need of volunteers for Clown Around! Volunteers will work in 1-2 hour shifts. Volunteers can be parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older siblings, friends.  If you are available to volunteer at Clown Around on May 17th, please sign up here.

Baked Goods! If you are willing to donate a baked good for the Cake Walk, please sign up here.

Each week up until the event, students will see how they are tracking towards the school goal of $25,000. If this goal is met, the students will enjoy a free recess full of fun and treats!

Thank you and we hope to see you at Clown Around on May 17!
