💡 Amendment Fact #9: Where does the money in the Permanent School Fund actually come from? 🌲📈
Revenue is generated through natural resource management, land leases, and state investments managed by state agencies. It is a self-sustaining endowment, meaning increased distributions come from fund growth, not taxpayer dollars.

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! 🧡🖤
