A gridiron story

While most of the "gridiron" coverage these days seems to center on a certain number 4, North Branch Area High School made a little football news this week too. This wonderful and heart warming story appeared in a local newspaper this week:
Kevin Seekon is a North Branch third grader diagnosed with Pervasive Development Disorder (on the autism spectrum).

Kevin loves football.

The following story, with Kevin at the center, will show you there’s more than one way to win on a football field.
Is there ever!

When I read stories like this I am filled with pride in NBAPS staff and students. And I think it is wonderful when people notice their willingness to go the extra mile.

I hope you will take the time to read the whole story.

    I truly believe that many of the staff at North Branch Area Schools not only go the extra mile but they run the entire marathon. We have very dedicated teachers who spend many, many personal hours and dollars providing an education for our children. THANK YOU!
