At the heart of every vibrant neighborhood is a thriving school. NICE is dedicated to ensuring that the heart of our neighborhood, GW Childs Elementary, is beating strong.
Our Story
In April 2012, NICE founder Megan Rosenbach, former GW Childs art teacher Maria Pandolfi, and school parent Kim Smith, teamed up to produce a student art show. The momentum gained from this event led Megan and Kim into a library revitalization project, and soon NICE held its first meeting, in August 2012, to get more community members involved in supporting the school.
