Nativity is a very special place.  My kids have always felt safe and at home when they walked in those doors.  I am grateful that we had the opportunity to send our kids to such a place and wanted to make that available to as many others as possible. Volunteering for the NCF was another way that we could give back to this special community. I must admit, it was a bit selfish as well, in that I became even more connected to this place that I value. I met so many great and generous people working for the Fair over the years. These connections and friendships will no doubt last a lifetime. Knowing so many wonderful people made every other experience at Nativity even more meaningful. Most importantly, I believe the time spent serving at the NCF sent a very powerful message to my children about the value we placed on their education. I am confident that this had a significant impact on them, and they did not take their education and experience at Nativity for granted.
