Last week, the Brookfield Square branch delivered its Teacher Appreciation Box to Tanya Schwartz at Brookfield Academy.

Branch Manager Mariella Zarb shared the note of gratitude they received for the gift:

The note said, in part: “Thank you so much for thinking of me and Brookfield Academy in receiving such a rewarding gift! I truly was surprised! The generosity and gratitude that you and your team at North Shore have shown is just tremendous and very welcoming.”

The box was part of the “Build a Teacher Box of Appreciation” Bank on Kindness® initiative to help teachers and students start the school year off right.
