It’s National School Counseling Week, and we want to give a massive shoutout to the incredible Ms. Stuhaug! 💙
Ms. Stuhaug, thank you for being a fierce advocate for our students and providing a safe space for them to grow. Whether you’re helping with academic goals or offering a listening ear, you truly "Amplify Student Success" every single day. We are so lucky to have you in our school family! 🌟🍎

🥤 Pop That Top for a Great Cause! 🥫
Dorothy Dodds Elementary is excited to announce we are officially participating in the RMHC Pop That Top program! This simple act of saving aluminum pull tabs makes a massive difference for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House while their children receive medical care.
Our Student Leaders have set a big goal this year: to fill the large collection bin in our main hallway area!
What to Save (It's not just for soda!):
Beverages: Soda, sparkling water, ect
Food Cans: Soup, canned fruit, vegetable cans.
Pet Food: Cat and dog food cans.
How to Participate:
Collect: Start a jar or bag at home.
Bring to School: Students can bring collected tabs to school.
Turn In: Give the tabs to your classroom teacher.
Why tabs? Aluminum tabs are high-quality, high-grade aluminum that are easier to store and more recyclable than the entire can, turning "trash" into significant funding for RMHC programs.
Every tab counts toward filling our house! Let's show our community spirit and generosity!

🍎 100 Days Smarter & Leveling Up! 🎓
Hard to believe, but the 100th Day of School is officially arriving Wednesday, February 11! We are so proud of how much our students have grown, and it’s time to celebrate this major milestone in style.
Want to join the fun? Here are three ways students and staff can participate:

🏁 Pattern Play! Wear anything with a repeated pattern—stripes, polka dots, or plaid!
We can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity! Tag us in your photos so we can celebrate together! ✨ #100DaysSmarter #SchoolMilestones #CentenarianStyle

An awesome winter tradition for students at Horizon Middle School East is the Honor Band Holiday Tour: members of this ensemble spend the day traveling to MAPS elementary schools and other locations to share their music during the festive season. This year, the Honor Band visited Ellen Hopkins Elementary, Robert Asp Elementary, Dorothy Dodds Elementary and Serenity Assisted Living in Dilworth. Great job, Spuds! 🎶❄️🧡 #FoundationsForTheFuture

In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, elementary schools across the district hosted Drum & Dance events where Native American drummers and dancers from Moorhead High and Horizon Middle School—plus their own elementary classmates—visited and performed a set of traditional songs and dances. Each event was emceed by Matthew Johnson, the Indian Education Liaison for S.G. Reinertsen Elementary. For the final song of each show, the audience was invited to participate, leading to gyms full of Spuds dancing along to the beat of the drum. Many youngsters were even seen dancing out of the gym on the way back to their classrooms! #FoundationsForTheFuture
Our students are talented. Art work decorates the halls at Dodds
