Many thanks to…
…friends of NBS who donated to our preschool program in memory of Rachel Stowe, Maggie’s mother-in-law. Rachel was a long-time preschool teacher in New England and an avid supporter of North Branch School. Susan, Jeanine, and Celeste purchased a big set of colorful magnetic tiles with these donations with which our youngest students can create fabulous towers, pyramids, and geometrical patterns.
Did you know?
On January 23, students will be treated to “Oh Freedom!” presented by the Virginia Opera Company as part of North Branch’s celebration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The performance, which presents the African-American experience in song, is made possible through our fall bingo night and an additional donation from Wild Wolf Brewing Company.
Ways to help NBS…
…Invite any friends and acquaintances who may be interested in learning more about a North Branch education to our upcoming Open House on February 11, 9:30-11:30 AM and 5:30-7:00 PM.
