The holiday season is here, and it’s the perfect time to celebrate the amazing teachers and staff at New Berlin Eisenhower who work tirelessly to support, educate, and inspire our children. Their dedication deserves our heartfelt appreciation, and we’d love your help in making this holiday season extra special for them.

We are asking families to donate $5–$10 gift cards to popular stores, coffee shops, or online retailers such as Starbucks, Target, Amazon, or any others of your choosing. These small tokens of gratitude will be combined to create festive and meaningful gifts for each member of our hardworking staff.

How you can participate:

Gift Card Drop-Off: Purchase a $5 or $10 gift card and bring it to the school office by Wednesday, December 17th. Please place it in an envelope labeled “Attention: Courtney Fredericks.”

Monetary Donations: If you prefer, you may send a cash or check donation, and we will use the funds to purchase gift cards on your behalf. (Checks should be made out to New Berlin Eisenhower with the memo - Staff Appreciation) Every donation—no matter the size—helps us show our staff how much they are valued and appreciated during this special time of year.

Thank you for your generosity and for being part of a community that truly cares for its teachers and staff. Together, we can spread holiday cheer and let them know how much we appreciate their hard work and dedication to our students.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at courtney.fredericks@nbexcellence.org.

Information sessions provide prospective students an opportunity to learn more about a college/university’s academic and student life by meeting in a small group setting with the admission’s representative. In addition, students will gain insights into the admission, financial aid and scholarship process. The goal of each session is to provide a comprehensive overview of the school and answer any and all questions students may have. Generally, each session lasts approximately 45 min. Students can pick up a pass to attend in the Student Services Department the day before or morning of the visit. Please report to Student Services, #231, at the time of the visit.
