Thank you to our student, parent, and alumni volunteers! Thank you to our drivers and helpers - Mr. Paley, Mr. Hampton, Mr. Calorossi, Mr. Hepp, majors, captains, students who accompanied them, and a an extra special thank you to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Elston, and the students who helped them for fitting in extra pickups.
Thank you to our bake sale bakers, and all our donors of tag sale goods! Thank you to our NHS custodial staff for supporting every facility need we had!
Thank you to Mr. Eckhardt, Mr. Carley, and Ricky for stopping by with encouragement!
And last but never least, thank you to alumni parent Michele Buzzi for her tireless support and to our own Laura Taylor and parent band board members for their many hours of dedication to NHSB&G!
The sale was a tremendous success and we could not have done it without all of you!
