Many families did not pay the $25 optional family fee for the BCIC during the student registration process, resulting in $3,000 gap in funding. This fee is the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts, supporting cultural events, advocacy, teachers, classroom resources, and more. If you haven’t had a chance to contribute yet, please consider making this small but impactful donation on infinte campus or on revtrak. Your support ensures the continued success of our program and benefits all our students!

We have all the volunteer slots filled. Thank You!

Barrington Area Library now hosts a Mandarin story time for the general public. They plan to hold these storytimes every other month. The next two dates are: Friday, November 8th and Friday, January 24 at 10am. BCIC hosted the first two of these storytimes and found a great Chinese teacher to continue hosting these events. 

This is a great opportunity for preschool families in our area to learn about the Chinese Immersion Program!

BCIC has some great winter spiritwear! Check out the selection as the weather gets colder.
