North Branch Area Public Schools

NBAMS 6th grade Spanish students spent a week creating games to teach Kindergarten Spanish students basic conversation words. The 6th graders then visited the Ed Center and spent the class period teaching and playing their games with the younger students. Sounds like fun!

🎉 What a BEARY special night! 🎶🐻 Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Teddy Bear Band event at the North Branch Area Education Center on Wednesday, May 28th! Families brought their favorite teddy bears and enjoyed an evening filled with music, dancing, laughter, and community fun. From sing-alongs to picnic blankets, the smiles were endless—and even a few teddy bears got in on the dancing! 🧸 A huge shoutout to our food trucks for keeping everyone well-fed, and to the weather for giving us the perfect evening. 🌤️ Couldn’t make it? Don’t worry—this won’t be our last family-friendly event, join us this summer for Concerts in the Park beginning June 17 (flier included in photos).

A Warm Welcome at Sunrise River Elementary! 🌞📚 Last Friday, kindergarteners experienced something truly special—a joyful welcome from the first graders and staff at Sunrise River Elementary School! 💛 As they arrived, our students were greeted with cheers, handmade signs, and plenty of smiles from the first-grade friends and teachers. The excitement was contagious and set the tone for a wonderful visit! Each kindergarten class was paired with a first-grade buddy class. Students listened to a story read by a first-grade teacher, asked thoughtful questions about what to expect next year, toured the school, enjoyed snack time, and had a blast on the playground. It was a day filled with connection, curiosity, and confidence-building—making the transition to first grade just a little less mysterious and a lot more exciting.

Today the Class of 2025 continued a NBAPS tradition of walking through all district sites. Graduates get to experience the congratulations of students for their incredible accomplishment while the graduates provide inspiration for younger students. Here are some photos from NBAMS and the Ed Center: https://www.facebook.com/nbapschools/posts/pfbid02fPPCwm6BPAB9fEMAwSc4Zjv8Wuks1WNRnpEqqyzeruiYFvzDrCPRwgyFutvPfGYRl

7th Grade Spanish students picked one of 21 Spanish speaking countries to become an expert on. They researched the food and culture of their country to create an authentic menu. When all the food trucks were complete, students took turns "selling" food from their trucks to food critics who wrote reviews based on what they learned about the different countries.
