Two outcomes in The Bellingham Promise particularly stand out with our state musicians - “we develop students and graduates who are artists and performers” and “we develop students and graduates who are confident individuals who continuously challenge themselves.”

Installed in 2023 by Northwest Rain Solutions, the garden is adjacent to the playground and field and hardscape. Native plants and trees in the ground will serve as a natural filtration system before runoff ends up in Lake Whatcom, the source of our community’s drinking water.

This first-time event was a strong showing of how our families value these events. We learned a lot and are already planning how to adjust to ensure access to opportunities and mitigating wait times/crowd sizes. Thanks for your understanding and patience at our first event.

📷 Scenes from the Winter Blast 2024 in February at the Bellingham Sportsplex! The evening offered free recreational games and activities along with performances by high school band and dance groups for BPS families - and was VERY popular as a first-time event.
