Nate is introduced to you by North Springfield Betterment Association. Recognizing and rewarding students’ outstanding attendance in the early years leads to respectable and responsible people shaping our community in the future.

The North Springfield Betterment Association is proud to sponsor many community projects (which are listed below).

Ann Reed Memorial Scholarship Fund and Wade Williams Scholarship Endowment Fund. NSBA awards scholarships to selected graduating seniors of both Central High School and Hillcrest High School.

Elementary School Attendance Program. This program motivates children and families, at 14 schools, to place an emphasis on attending school. Fundraising has included the sale of "Unleash Your Power: Stay in School" prints by Scott Hepper.

Sponsor a Child is the special project that funds the quarterly incentives and our year-end celebration, The Attendance Party, for our 14 Northside shcools. This program allows you to choose your level of sponsorship, be it one child or a dozen, at the affordable donation of $5.00 per child.
Sponsorships may be obtained by contacting Kim Yocum at 417-619-4830, Debbie Bogner 417-837-5460, or any board member.

North Springfield Beautification Award. Every month, the NSBA recognizes the efforts of an individual, family, organization, or business in improving the appearance of the northside.
