« Whatcom Middle School on fire — students and staff stay home Thursday and Friday– UPDATED 2:40 p.m.
Whatcom students and staff heading to 3 schools »

Ways to help Whatcom Middle School staff and students — updated 2:30 p.m.

Several people have been asking about ways they can help with this morning’s devastating fire. As I get information, I will post it.

  • Former Whatcom Middle School teacher Sara Strommer, has started an account for the school at Scholastic Books online. People can donate gift certificates towards getting new books for the classrooms, or can simply order books that they know middle school classes might need. Go to www.scholastic.com/parentordering and sign in using the following:

Class User Name: Books4WMS
Password: booksforteachers

  • People interested in making donations can also call the Bellingham Public Schools Foundation at 671-6150. They are working to set up a Whatcom Middle School fund, according to Tanya Rowe, district spokeswoman.
