Hello! My name is Sheri Robinson.
I’ve lived in Bellingham with my family for over 21 years. My two children are in their twenties, with one still living at home. I grew up in North Vancouver, B.C. and went to college at WWU and Portland State University to study teaching. I enjoy reading, writing, walking and dancing. I also love Italian food and chocolate and watching British mystery programs.
Please welcome Sheri as she settles into her role as our new Office and Library Assistant!
**Change in date! Due to the weather, this fundraiser has been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 24th***

The Bellingham Coding and Robotics Club is now offering Van Pick Up at BFPP for homeschoolers at noon on Thursday afternoons for our 2pm class! We will pick them up at noon and take 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 3:15 at our Coding Club's new location at 3230 Meridian St.
The cost is $100 per month for a full Club Membership (that's HALF OFF price and includes weekly class, Club Nights and Saturday drop ins) and $25 per month for transportation and care. All this STEM fun starts on January 12th, so sign up now to hold your spot!
