Bellingham Public Schools will host a Back-to-School Block Party, a resource fair for all district families, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24. The event will be onsite at Bellingham High School, located at 2020 Cornwall Avenue.
School and community partner tables will provide important resources for starting the school year. The event will include signups for Operation School Bell, a program of the Assistance League of Bellingham that supplies new school clothes for families, and child immunizations, sports physicals and haircuts.
The Bellingham Coding and Robotics Club is again offering van pick up at BFPP for homeschoolers on Thursday afternoons this fall. We'll pick up students at noon and transport them to our Club House where they can eat their lunches and have some STEM fun before our 2pm Coding and Robotics Class (for 5 year olds to 13 year olds).
Parent pick up is at 3:15pm at our Coding Club's new location at 3230 Meridian St. The cost is $100 per month for a full Club Membership (that HALF OFF price and includes weekly class, Club Nights and Saturday drop ins) and $25 per month for transportation from BFPP to our club. All this STEM fun starts on September 12th - sign up now to hold your spot!
