Congratulations to our North Branch Girls' Tennis Team on an outstanding season, finishing the Section 7AA Runner-up! We're so proud of the way these athletes competed and represented North Branch with grit, class, and heart. SKOL!

Thanks to the City of North Branch, Chisago County SHIP, the NBPD and the NBFD, and all the students and parents for joining us this morning for a rather brisk Walk and Roll to School! It seems like the event gets a bit bigger every time and it's great to see so many faces familiar from previous events.

Today we celebrated the completion of the CR30 project, including new sidewalk from Maple St. to the library, and new crosswalks across CR30, made possible through Safe Routes to School funding doggedly pursued by the city. Many thanks to Community Development Director Nate Sondrol for his work to secure planning and construction funds!

Two fun events are happening this Wednesday!
Join NBAPS, the City of North Branch, and Chisago County SHIP for the fall Walk and Roll to School, starting at St. Gregory's Church at the intersection of CR-30 and Maple St. It's a great way to get outside, get some exercise, and make new friends! We'll see you there on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 7:05 am.

Then, Vikings football players and coaches are again hosting Viking Victory Day from 5:30 - 6:30 pm at the high school stadium. All special needs students, grades K-12, are invited to come spend some time with the team!
