DID YOU KNOW? 🥔💡
Our iconic mascot, Spuddy, was actually designed by a Moorhead High School student!
Way back in the late 1950s, MHS student Brian Coyle (Class of 1961) sketched out and created the very first concept for our cheerful, grinning potato mascot. What started as a creative high school art project grew into the ultimate symbol of Moorhead school spirit that we all know and love today! 🎨✨
From a student desk sketch to a field-side legend, Spuddy is proof that student creativity builds traditions that last generations! 🧡🖤

💡 Amendment Fact #2
The proposed constitutional amendment allows the state to increase the annual distribution limit from 2.5% up to 4.5% of the fund’s average value.
What does that mean for local classrooms? More resources for vital school programming without asking property owners for a dime!

💡 Amendment Fact #1: Did you know the Permanent School Fund was established back when Minnesota became a state in 1858?
Land was set aside to generate investment revenue and natural resource returns to support public education. This amendment modernizes an existing asset so our students can benefit more from revenues already generated—all with $0 added cost to taxpayers!
