DARIEN, Conn. – The Darien Advocates for the Education of the Gifted will be holding a memorial tea in honor of Barbara Harrington. Harrington, who died in August, created the gifted education program in the Darien Public Schools in 1969.

In addition to creating the gifted education program, now called IDEA, Harrington was an active member in the Darien Advocates for the Education of the Gifted, the Science Education Center, the Darien Library, the Red Cross and the Darien Representative Town Meeting.
On Saturday, March 3 the DAEG will celebrate Harrington’s life with a small gathering to share memories of her. The memorial tea will be held at the home of Shyalma Menon and Arjun Krishnamachar at 7 Waterbury Lane. The event will last from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
