Barrington PTO is proud to host Clown Around 2026 again this year! On Friday, May 15, 2026, 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 $50 or more to help in meeting our Barrington goal of $30,000.
​
Each week up until the event, students will see how they are tracking towards the school goal of $30,000. If this goal is met, the students will enjoy a free recess full of fun and treats!
See below for fundraising and other ways to get involved.
