Will you join us to celebrate Kim's service?

School board chair Kim Salo has been serving students and families of the North Branch Area Public Schools (NBAPS) community since 1998 as a board member and as chair for over 13 years. At the November school board meeting Salo announced her intention to resign her seat at the end of December.

NBAPS would like to invite anyone and everyone in the community to a social hour planned from 6 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12. The social hour will be held in room 126 of the North Branch Area Education Center, and include snacks, refreshments, cake, and time for reflection. Please be encouraged to bring children to this event, as the children of this community are Salo's passion.
