Fall 2002
The Friends of the Bellingham Public Library assisted in purchasing 200 copies of the book, When Cats Dream by Dav Pilkey. Every Bellingham public school K-5th grade classroom received a copy of this book.
On Tuesday, November 19th at 9:15 A.M., the Bellingham community listened to KAFE Radio 104.3 FM as Governor Gary Locke read When Cats Dream. Each class received a packet of follow-up activities . Many classrooms participated in activities producing art and literature projects that were displayed at their school and also on some school websites.
In February 2003, classrooms were matched up citywide for a sister classroom exchange of letters, photos, and projects.
