Whatcom Middle School’s community grand opening and ribbon cutting is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 1 at noon at the school, 810 Halleck St.
There will be tours offered right after the ceremony until 6 p.m. Parking is limited, so people are asked to carpool, walk or take public transportation as much as possible. Halleck Street in front of the school will be available for parking; people are asked to avoid parking in the Bellingham Municipal Court lot.
For more about the school rebuild and reopening, check Sunday’s Bellingham Herald (unless Hurricane Irene causes a lot of damage on the east coast, in which case the story will run Monday or Tuesday)
I hope their education is very good. The school is promising but it needs to prove itself first before we make predictions. But judging by the roster of faculty they have, they are solid. – Inga Freise Stahle
