July/August

ABOUT THIS ISSUE: As with last summer's issue, Quintessential Barrington turned its pages over to the younger set. Our guest editor, Courtney Griffin, will be a senior at Barrington High School this fall. This spring she led a team of  journalism students from BHS, as well as a few from Lake Zurich High School, to create stories that cover what's important to our younger readers. We know you'll enjoy their perspective and the result of their hard work with QB!
