Recently, the North Branch School District activities office was awarded with the annual Viking Coca-Cola "Powerade For Schools" check. The money is earned from the Activities Office purchase of Powerade to sell in concession stands. All profits from concessions sales are divided among the teams and clubs that work events throughout the year.  Approximately 20 of the high school's teams or clubs use this opportunity for extra funds for their programs. The check is added to those funds.  Over the past five years, the Activities Program has received $18,183.39 from the "Powerade For Schools" campaign.  North Branch is the top earner in the region for this program.   Pictured (L-R): Viking Coca-Cola North Branch Rep Lindsey Doolittle, A.D.
