Dear BB&N Families,
The Parents’ Association is pleased to announce an online gift-giving campaign in response to an overwhelming number of inquiries regarding how to thank BB&N’s faculty and staff during the holiday season. As such, we would like to offer parents and caregivers an avenue to recognize each person of our almost 350-member staff. We are especially grateful for their dedication to ensuring that our students returned to campus this fall.

Beginning today through December 14th, the Parents’ Association will oversee an online collection for holiday gifts. 100% of the funds collected will be distributed equitably to all faculty and staff across campuses, based on a rate consistent with each employee’s full-time equivalency. Faculty and staff will receive their gifts on the last paycheck of 2020. Donations are anonymous and voluntary -- please give what is comfortable for your family. Gifts are tax deductible as allowed by law and can be made by credit card or check.* This will be the only gift collection this academic year, and we hope everyone can participate in some way.
We are so thankful for the school’s support in helping us develop this new approach. We encourage everyone to adhere to BB&N’s gift-giving policy that highly discourages individual gifts to faculty and staff other than notes of gratitude, which are always appreciated. Please consider writing a note of thanks on this kudoboard, which we will share with faculty and staff prior to Thanksgiving break. 

We hope that this effort, which is unique and separate from The BB&N Fund, will provide a meaningful opportunity for the parent community to recognize BB&N’s faculty and staff in a way that is equitable across campuses and further supports our efforts of being a uKnighted community. 

Warm wishes as we begin this unique holiday season.
