Have you noticed some of the landscaping improvements at the high school and middle school?
Students in Mrs. Cook’s Agmazing class have been working hard on pruning the shrubs near the front office and replacing the mulch to freshen up our schools!
Students in the horticulture and landscaping class also completed a renovation on the south side of the school. Students each drafted their own plan for the space and voted on the best concept, then spent the past two weeks installing new edging, weed barrier, and plants. Great job!!!
Our softball stars are heading to state! The team was greeted at each building for a celebratory walkthrough that created awe inspiring moments, motivating our youngest Vikings. Congratulations & Good Luck!!

Wow! SKOL! and thank you to all those who took a few moments to complete the Staff Appreciation Form over the last couple of weeks. If you missed it, here is further explanation and a link:
NBAPS alumni and current families, we want to hear from you! Most of us can look back on our time in school and identify one or more staff members that had a positive influence on us, or helped us find our way in the world. If you or your child have had such an experience at North Branch Area Public Schools we'd love to hear about it. Tell us about it and we will pass it along to that special person: https://forms.gle/UtJ7ikvCvaRYraST8
