Whitmore School has a room called the gathering place.
The gathering place is a room to meet with and provide information to families.
They started planning for the room last fall and started using it in the spring.
Lesia Jensen, Whitmore School Principal, talks about the Gathering Place.
“The Gathering Place is still a work in progress but is already an integral part of our school. Through community support and grants, a safe and caring environment has been created for Whitmore families. Meetings, sharing of resources, nutrition programs, and other programs run here. Most importantly, it’s helping build relationships and teamwork between family and school which fosters student success.”
On Wednesdays, they have Whitmore Wednesdays where they have a scheduled activity or presenter in the room.
The Gathering Place is located right next to Jensen’s office.
