As we are currently under construction for our new STEM Wing (opening August 2026), this year’s Fund a Need will focus on building out an essential academic component to our STEM education: a Physics Tool Wall.
Every giving level presents an opportunity to fund the purchase of tools and equipment necessary to support not only our burgeoning Physics curriculum, but Science classes as a whole. Every tool gives NDB students the opportunity to grow in their pursuit of academic greatness, continuing to forge a path for female leadership in STEM!
Sponsors of the Tool Wall will have their names affixed to the wall in perpetuity in recognition of supporting this year’s Fund a Need.
Goal: $100,000

What’s a Physics Tool Wall? It’s where concepts move off the page and into real life — a dedicated space stocked with essential tools and equipment that allow students to do hands-on experiments and become physicists, scientists and engineers.
Why it matters:
- Gives Tigers access to professional-grade physics tools
- Supports hands-on learning
- Enhances our new STEM wing with a permanent, high-impact resource
- Invests directly in your student’s education and future opportunities
In the words of Regina George, “So you agree? You think supporting STEM education is important?” We knew you would.
Every contribution—large or small—helps us build a space where students can explore, innovate and gain confidence in STEM fields. Together, we can make something that will benefit generations of students.
Thank you for being part of a community that shows up, supports learning and knows that investing in education is always in style.
