Greetings Vikings!

What a great start to the school year! Viking pride is on display across the district and community as we celebrate Homecoming this week.

Homecoming activities are designed for our entire Viking community to come together and experience Viking pride. One of the things I just love about North Branch Area Public Schools is how students of all ages, families, and community members feel so welcome to be part of all the events that make up a Viking homecoming. Check out all the activities in the Homecoming Schedules below and don’t forget to sign up for Pickleball Palooza tomorrow night. Most events do not require signing up, just showing up!

Homecoming week culminates with our Homecoming Parade on Friday at 3:15 p.m., followed by tailgating at 4 p.m. that includes Viking community-building activities such as face painting, wacky hair styling, yard games, food trucks and more! Please note that the football game starts at 6 p.m. After rave reviews last year, there will again be in-game and post-game fireworks! Many thanks to the community sponsors that helped make the fireworks possible.

Looking forward to sharing the fun with you this week. Let’s go Vikings! SKOL!
