Ms. Maggie's friends are "PEEKING" into the new school year with smiles! :-)
At the September 14 school board meeting, the district and its architect, ATS&R, received an Outstanding Design award from American School and University for updates made to the North Branch Area Education Center. Highlighted was the "ubiquitous" use of color, secure courtyard, furniture variety, media center learning tree, and energy efficient upgrades.
