This is just a fun concept and these are not real cards for purchase, but we want to know which design you love more! Our team put together two totally different styles and we need your help deciding which one has the best "collectible" vibe.
Either way, we think these cards should be in every collection. Go Spuds!

💡 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!

💡 Amendment Fact #8: Putting this measure on the ballot was approved with broad bipartisan support by the Minnesota Legislature.

💡 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.
