"Taste of 220" Food Truck Makes Debut!
Wednesday, May 20, marked the unveiling of “Taste of 220,” the new food truck serving Barrington 220! Thanks to the generosity of the Barrington 220 Educational Foundation, this is believed to be the first district-owned food truck in the state of Illinois!
5th graders across the district recently completed a food truck unit where they had to research menu items, set prices, explore truck design options, evaluate selling locations, and make financial decisions while working together as teams. Some teams, like El Churro Loco from Sunny Hill Elementary, pictured below, got to have one of their dishes featured during the truck’s debut!
Volunteers Are Still Needed
May 28: 5th Grade Recognition Let us know if you can spare a few minutes to help us decorate, cleanup, etc
All school library books are due!
