A big Spud Shoutout to Moorhead High School FCCLA members who set up a drop-in babysitting room during conferences last week! This thoughtful effort allowed parents to focus on supporting their high school students while younger Spuds played and created with some of MHS’s most qualified babysitters. Many members have taken Child Development 1 and 2, and this was a wonderful way to put their skills into action while giving back to our Spud community.🧡 #FoundationsForTheFuture
