Many thanks to…

Did you know?
…Maggie’s math class measured every senior, then averaged those measurements to create Esmae R.A. Harler, the Average Senior. Currently residing in the Science Room, the Average Senior will probably show up at assembly soon!
Ways to help NBS…
…There are many fundraisers that come home. We invite you to participate in as many as you wish. There is an array so that everyone has choices. One of the biggest is coming up on December 3rd, #GivingTuesday. This is the nonprofit world’s answer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Look for more info in the weeks leading up to this day.
…New items on the Wish List include visual measuring cups, a great fraction-teaching tool, and baking equipment. https://north-branch-school.org/fundraising/wish-list/
…If you have Boxtops that you’ve clipped, please bring those in by the end of October. We’ll turn those in to add to the credits we are getting from scanned receipts via the Boxtops App.
