Huge shoutout to the Northland Pines Cheer Team for the generous donation of sweet treats. Our members have been extremely busy these last few days and the sweet treat was just the pick me up they needed. Good luck with your future fundraising ladies, we hope to see you at the Firemen Festival on August 8th. Northland Pines School District PS. They dropped off a lot more but it didn’t last very long.
