🎉 INTERNATIONAL HONOR ROLL RECOGNITION! 🎉
Huge congratulations to our incredible Moorhead High School yearbook team! 📸✨ On Oct. 14, the MHS yearbook staff was officially presented with the Pictavo International Honor Roll award for the 2026 school year! 🏆
Selected from more than 200 publications across Pictavo's international network, our students were evaluated by a panel of professional journalists, designers, and photographers. The team earned top marks for their design innovation, stunning photography, graphic creativity, and commitment to capturing an inclusive story of our school community, packed with unforgettable "OMG moments"! 👏
This massive achievement comes during a landmark year for the publication, which transitioned into an after-school club and grew to 30 active student members. Under the guidance of Advisor Grayson Griffin and student editors, these high schoolers are gaining real-world, hands-on experience in journalism, photography, design, and leadership.

Behind every healthy, happy student is a dedicated team of school health professionals working tirelessly behind the scenes! 🩺🧡
Looking back at the 2025–26 school year, our Moorhead Area Public Schools Health Services team was busier than ever.

From the daily care to conducting thousands of vision and hearing screenings and partnering with the Family Health Care mobile unit to bring accessible care directly to our schools, this team does it all.
Join us in thanking our incredible Health Services staff for their unwavering care and dedication to our Moorhead families! Drop a 🧡 in the comments to show your appreciation!

Every school day, our buses carry our most precious cargo... our kids! School bus safety is a team effort that takes drivers, parents, students, and our entire community working together to keep everyone safe.
🚨Flashing Lights & Extended Stop Arm: STOP! Traffic in both directions must stop at least 20 feet away on undivided roads. It is illegal and dangerous to pass a bus with its stop arm extended and when the lights are flashing.
📵Stay Alert: Put away mobile devices and slow down in school zones and near neighborhood bus stops.
Let’s keep our streets safe for everyone. Drop a 💛 in the comments to commit to driving distraction-free this school year!

Our unique mascot dates back over a century to the late 1910s and 1920s! The Red River Valley was renowned nationwide for its potato farming, and one early Moorhead school was even built directly on a former potato field.
To honor our area’s rich agricultural roots—and the hard work, grit, and pride of the community—the name stuck! More than a century later, we’re still proud to be the only school around cheering on the mighty Spud! 🥔🔥🧡🖤

When our Peer to Peer students learned that our visiting Homecoming opponents had a tough experience at their own game recently, they wanted to make sure they felt welcomed, valued, and supported the moment they arrived at our building. Together, they created bright, encouraging posters to ensure a positive and respectful game day for everyone.
We are so proud of these students for proving that true sportsmanship goes far beyond the scoreboard. Thank you for showing us all what it means to lift people up! 🧡🖤

💡 Amendment Fact #8: Putting this measure on the ballot was approved with broad bipartisan support by the Minnesota Legislature.
Lawmakers from across the political spectrum agreed that modernizing the fund distribution is a sensible way to increase school funding using existing state assets—without raising taxes on Minnesotans.

We are CHILI-NG out with a comforting favorite in the cafeteria today! ✨For School Lunch Week, we're highlighting something delicious!
What better way to celebrate Minnesota Fall weather than with a warm, made from scratch lunch lineup?
Today’s menu was packed with flavor:
▪️ Made from scratch Chili, cooked with love 🥣
▪️Warm baked potatoes 🥔
▪️ Crisp butternut squash & cherry tomatoes from Farmer in the Dell 🎃
▪️ Fresh bread from Pan-O-Gold & cold milk from Cass Clay 🍞🥛
▪️ A sweet Johnny Pops treat to top it off 🍦
Chef Kim over at Robert Asp Elementary was especially fired up to cook today’s massive batch of chili! Her enthusiasm in the kitchen was totally contagious, and the prep was a true labor of love.
The verdict from our students? Out of this world! 🌟 The reviews were amazing, and some students even licked their bowls clean! We'd say that's a pretty successful start to Farm 2 School Month!
Drop a 🧡 in the comments to give a big shoutout to Chef Kim and our incredible nutrition rockstars for making lunch so delicious!

💡 Amendment Fact #7:
Did you know? In Minnesota, leaving a constitutional amendment question blank on your ballot counts as a "NO" vote! 🗳️
Under state constitutional rules, an amendment requires a majority of all voters participating in the election to pass, not just a majority of those who answer the specific question. Make sure to turn your ballot over and cast an informed vote on every question!
Inform yourself before voting at our ISD 152 Permanent School Fund Webpage.
