During the last school year, teachers and parents from Meetinghouse and Westminster Elementary Schools participated in over 500 donations of items into our classrooms through something we called Learning Vine. In this new website and newsletter format, people in Westminster can view items that are offered and wanted without having to login or remember any passwords. Everyone is welcome to participate. Browse the list of available items and email the person who offered the items. If you have something to offer, email a one-line description and we will add it to the list of what is offered. When you hear from someone that they'd like the item, put it in the green bin inside the entrance to Westminster Elementary School with the name of the intended recipient. For teachers at Briggs, Overlook and Oakmont, until there are bins in your school, simply arrange to get your items outside of school.
