Drop In on Vacation Week Recreation

We know. It's February school vacation week next week. But kids between 6 and 12 might want to swing by the Barrington Middle School anyway.

The Barrington Recreation Department is offering a variety of programs for four days -- Tuesday through Friday, Feb 19-22. Each day has a morning and afternoon session.

Morning sessions run from 9:30 to noon; afternoon session runs from 12:30 to 3 pm.

Michele Geremia, Barrington's director of recreation and leisure services, said there will be games, relay races, contests, arts and crafts, a Lego building contest, and introductory clinics in baseball, soccer and basketball.

Call Geremia at 247-1925 or email her at mgeremia@barrington.ri.gov with questions.

Registration forms can be downloaded online at www.ci.barrington.ri.us. You can stop by the Recreation Department office in the Peck Center as well from 9 am to noon.
