On Saturday, December 7, members of NBAHS Student Council volunteered at Miracle at Big Rock in St. Croix Falls, WI. Some members dressed up as popular holiday characters and posed for pictures with attendees. Others volunteered as photographers at the many popular backdrops. It was a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
Author and speaker Joe Beckman, of TILL360, is in the district this week, talking with kids of all ages about the importance of creating and maintaining human connections. Joe will also be doing a community event in February for people of all ages (see flier below). Thanks Joe, it's great to have you here!

Show your support by ordering exclusive event apparel. Each purchase helps us raise awareness and stand united in support of the individuals and families impacted by cancer. Together, as a hockey family, we can make a difference—one shift at a time.
Come to the game and honor who you fight for by completing a support sign as well.
COMPLETE THE FORM MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ADDITIONAL ORDERS. Full payment needs to be turned in by Sunday, Dec. 8 to Heidi Sanders or Alicia Overby. Checks made out to "Redliners" add $5 additional for PayPal.

Last Wednesday, the NBAHS auto program received a donation of a 2008 Chevy Impala from JPC Auto Sales. This car couldn't have been donated without the help of KNH Autos. The owner of KNH Autos (Mitch Laska) is a former North Branch student. KNH Autos did an inspection on the car the morning of donation to make sure the car was safe for the students. During the inspection they found that the car had a gas line leak. KNH Autos fixed the issue and paid for all parts and labor so that JPC Auto Sales LLC could get the car donated to the school. Thanks to JPC and KNH! Pictured are (l to r): NBAHS Principal Clint Link, Jason Trester (Co Owner of JCP Auto Sales), Joseph Cunningham (Co-Owner of JCP Auto Sales), Tylor Sorgert, NBAHS automotive teacher, and David Treichel, Director of Teaching and Learning.
SKOL! and thanks to Neighborhood National Bank staff and customers for their donation of two boxes of hats and mittens for students, just in time for the winter weather! Pictured are NNB staff Jessie Magnison (left) and Eddie Prigge.
