Wall of Appreciation for Our Volunteers and Donors
With the generous support from each and every one of our dedicated volunteers and donors, we are able to help many of our families not only to meet essential daily needs but to work towards a brighter future. This is why contributions from our donors and volunteers make an incredible difference in what is available to our students. On behalf of the Greater Brunswick Charter School community, we would like to thank you.
