Dear BNS Families,
Happy New Year!
There has been a chill in the air these past few weeks, one that has made me even more grateful for the warmth, joy, love, and compassion I feel every time I'm in the building at BNS. Our children are learning that the world is full of wonder, goodness, and possibility—and that we all have a responsibility to make our society the best it can be.
