An update from the BHSAA: November 9, 2020 |

Dear Barrington High School Alumni,
2020 was not what we expected, but here we are!
First and foremost, we wish all of you safe and secure health during this difficult period in our world’s history. We encourage everyone to be positive, caring, kind, and supportive to all your family, friends, neighbors, community, and of course, your fellow BHS alumni.
Moving forward, we are hopeful and optimistic for a better future for all. With this optimism in mind, we are reminiscent of a childhood hero, Ernie Banks, the “Mr. Cub” himself, baseball Hall of Famer. He always carried a smile and was known for his genuine positive nature. He has a quote which fits for where we are regarding BHS Homecoming 2021. He said, "It's a great day for a ball game; let's play two!"
Homecoming 2021
For 2021, our rally cry, paying homage to the beloved Mr. Cub, is “Let’s Play Two!” Homecoming 2021 is scheduled to take place the weekend of October 2. Our goal for Homecoming 2021 will be to double up the homecoming class celebrations. If we get the opportunity, the 2021 Homecoming festivities could be our greatest of all-time in Barrington history. We will be encouraging the classes ending in 0, 5, AND 1, 6 to come home to Barrington for a wonderful reunion of our school years past. It will be time well spent and certainly a time where we could use a few laughs and some treasured companionship.
The 2021 Homecoming Parade, if so permitted, will have the Classes of 1970 and 1971 as the parade grand marshals, along with our valued BHSAA leader, Mr. Don Thompson.
We want to celebrate the many blessings we have in our community and the impressive legacies BHS alumni provide us throughout the world. The BHS Alumni Association will be reaching out to all BHS classes planning reunions. We want to learn about your plans, help with the coordination, share information of the other classes having activities, and advise all interested parties whenever possible. If you know what your class has planned for Homecoming 2021, please share that information with us.

Homecoming 2019...Oh what fun we had! |
|
We collected a lot of great life updates from our classmates over the past month and have compiled all of the information into our new "Class Notes" section of the BHSAA website. If you're interested in participating for the next newsletter, please remember to submit an entry. You can give updates on yourself or classmates regarding weddings, key accomplishments, birth announcements, and those who have recently passed. It is a great way to let people know about our alumni. It's always nice to get some news.

Join the BHSAA Board!
If you have a desire to help your fellow alumni, ask to join our Board as a voting Board member or a project committee member. Our primary function is to provide support to you, the BHS alumni, for reunions and other activities. Additionally, we are always looking for alumni to share their education, stories, and experiences in appropriate venues throughout the school year. The Barrington 220 School District loves to have alumni visit to share their knowledge with D220 students and the community.
Wishing everyone good will as we navigate these crazy times. The BHSAA will continue to promote your fellowship with your classmates. Let us continue to show Bronco Pride, be there for each other, and in 2021, “Let’s Play Two!”
