During #GivingTuesday NBS received 143 gifts. The breakdown is below. (The totals add up to more than 143 because some people fit into more than one category. Staff members who donated fit into one or more of the categories below, so are not listed separately.)

I give to NBS because I know that donation will give the same chance and experience that I had to other kids. There is a large amount of good in me that I can attribute to North Branch and the teachers and leaders that helped me become who I am today. The successes in my life were seeds planted while I went to school at NBS, and I contribute to let the legacy of the school live on and impact people in the way it has me. The world needs innovative minds to think through the complex issues we have ahead, and North Branch creates an environment which unlocks a way of learning not found in most places. Matt Thomas, ‘99
