Pat Karon, Executive Director of Barrington Day, got lots of help from “Elves” with
holiday shopping for Seniors invited to Giving Day. Her helpers are: James and Ryan
Baumgartner and Franki and Carli Parenti, all from the Chippendale neighborhood. See
the “Elves” in action.
Kudos to all our young volunteers!
The wonderful 8th grade students at Station Middle school raised cash donations totaling $955.46. This money will be used to purchase food for Barrington Families. Ahuge thank you to the students, teachers and parents. We could not run Barrington Giving Day without your continued help. Great job.
Thank you to Mr. Donald Montgomery and the Station Middle School Orchestra for collecting cash donations totaling $384.44.
This is indeed a wonderful day for Barrington Giving Day!
I just received an e-mail from Kathleen Rankhorn, a Counselor at Station Middle School. She had great news to share: the teachers at Station have purchased 310 Cans of Coffee and Teens for Teens collected 50 cans of coffee!
If they had not collected money for coffee we would not have been able to provide to the families as the cost of coffee is very high.
The Station Middle School teachers have always supported Barrington Giving Day. THANK YOU ALL!
