Hough’s Star Spangled Student

Congratulations to Hough third-grade student, Eric Tavarez, for being recognized as Hough’s Star Spangled Student. Eric was recognized for his ability to go above and beyond to help other students when they are in need, helping his classmates to feel included, and his persistence and determination. Eric will be celebrated at the upcoming school board meeting on Tuesday, December 6.

See Something, Say Something

Barrington 220 is now partnering with an Illinois school safety helpline aimed at providing students a place to report information that might prevent bullying, suicide, and campus violence. Safe2Help is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It allows students to confidentially share school safety issues via a mobile app, text, email, or phone call. You will notice that the "See Something, Say Something" button on our district and school website now links directly to the Safe2Help contact page. We are asking that all students, parents, staff, and community members now use this platform to report safety concerns.

Holiday Market

December has arrived and Hough’s annual Holiday Market is the perfect event for festive, family fun! Hough students will enjoy the thrill of choosing their own special holiday gifts for family and friends. The children shop in the Hough library, along with a fifth-grade helper. Gifts are moderately priced with most under $5 and a few items up to $10. Families will also be able to enjoy the spectacular Holiday Market Bake Sale taking place in the gym. All proceeds go to the Hough PTO. Please direct questions to Ali Laumann at allisonlaumann@gmail.com or Anne Baumfeld at anne.e.abbott@gmail.com.

#WeBelong220

The Hough Hawks had opportunities to demonstrate their exceptional communication skills during gym class, as students took turns being blindfolded, and a partner had to verbally guide a classmate from one end of the gym to the other, navigating obstacles along the way.
