A huge THANK YOU to Guthrie Green for your generous donation!

Whitman is so excited about this new partnership, and we can’t wait for our Baby Hornets to enjoy these amazing bean bags. After seeing how much fun we had testing them out yesterday, I know our students are going to love using them for reading, learning, collaborating, and relaxing.

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like Guthrie Green who invest in our students and help make Whitman an even better place to learn and grow.

Thank you for supporting our Baby Hornets!

Yesterday morning, our Community Engagement Specialist, Anna, and our summer intern, Marissa, had the pleasure of donating 14 bean bags to Principal Ray at our partner school, Walt Whitman Elementary School.

We are grateful for the opportunity to support our partners. We hope these bean bags become a favorite spot for learning, reading, and relaxing.

Two elementary schools. Hundreds of students and teachers. One community showing up for them. 🤝✨
