North Branch Area Community Ed

Dear Community Members,

Welcome to November – A season of thanks!

As we enter this season of gratitude, the Community Education team would like to express our deep appreciation for our wonderful instructors and the vibrant community we serve. Your participation and enthusiasm are what make our programs thrive!

This month, we’re gearing up for one of our biggest events of the year – the Annual Arts Fest! If you’ve never been, mark your calendars for Saturday, Nov. 23—you won’t want to miss it! With over 200 booths featuring handmade crafts, it’s a perfect opportunity to get a jump on holiday shopping and support local artisans.

Whatever brings you joy during this season of giving, we hope you’ll find something exciting in our upcoming classes. In fact, some of our team members have recently taken up pickleball and can’t stop raving about the fun, laughter, and great exercise it offers! If you’re curious, come try it out at the North Branch Area High School on Monday or Wednesday evenings (details below). We’d love to see you there!

Warm regards,

The Community Education Team at NBAPS
