Be A Neighbor - Serving Afghanistan

December is already upon us and Christmas is quickly approaching! This is such a special time of year.

Either sheepdogs are important to you and vital for something you have to do, or they aren’t important to you at all and aren’t vital for anything.

What’s Your Winepress?

Attending an online school can make it difficult to meet people and experience that feeling of being a part of the student body like you get at a brick and mortar school. But NorthStar provides a lot of easily accessible, not to mention, great ways for students to get plugged-in. One of these ways is through the NSA Connects.
