It's Give to the Max Day!
Today is Give to the Max Day (GtM), a statewide charitable giving event that benefits non-profits across Minnesota. NBAPS utilizes GtM to support field trips and provide classroom supplies and equipment the school district could not otherwise provide in the current funding system. Please share this opportunity with friends and family and help us raise the necessary funds to continue providing the finest educational experiences to the community! Here are the school district's giving pages:
North Branch Area Middle School
Chisago County School's Life Work Center/Norse Area ALC
North Branch Area Community Education
Every donation made to NBAPS creates another opportunity for the school district to win $100,000 in prizes to nonprofits and schools through Golden Ticket drawings throughout the day. Together we can make this a great day for NBAPS!
Inexpensive cybersecurity workshop
Sourcewell Tech has developed an online workshop for parents and family around cybersecurity issues including identity theft, cyber crimes and more. The cost is $1.99 per person taking the course. The course covers a wide range of topics, including device and application safety, and screen time, and provide resource for future reference. If you are interested in taking this course, it can be found at this link.
The world is run by those who show up!
NBAPS cannot stress enough the importance of attendance for both staff and students! Students with regular attendance have higher achievement, a stronger work ethic, and are more likely to finish school and be successful! In fact, school attendance may be the most important factor in academic success. By taking an active role in school attendance, parents/guardians can ensure their student(s) success!
Congratulations to Viking Volleyball!
Viking Volleyball competed in its third state tournament in as many years this November. The squad played strong and found itself in a position to defend its 2018 state title against Stewartville. Alas, Stewartville was able to pull off a victory in five sets. SKOL! and congratulations to Viking Volleyball on another fantastic season! For a look back at the Vikings in St. Paul, check out the district's Facebook page.
