Fill the Dome 2021 is upon us!
Help us collect food for the hungry in our community. Please consider sending non-perishable food items with your child to school. Fill the Dome makes a tremendous impact on our community and we couldn't do it without your help. Items that are most needed at the food pantry are foods high in protein and other canned items (ie. peanut butter, soups, and vegetables). Please send these items to school with your child by Thursday, November 18th. Thank you!

It's the little things for us! 🤗
Recently a parent posted on social media thanking one of our drivers for going above and beyond. We want to highlight John Rasmussen, bus driver at Moorhead Area Public Schools.
He noticed a first grader was running a minute behind. John made an extra stop down the block in front of their house, to make sure the student didn't miss the bus. These little acts of kindness are what make our school district and community the best place to be!

Mrs. Tareski's class helped us open our boxes of new books donated by the Moorhead Rotary. The Rotary gave $2,000 in new books to all the elementary buildings in Moorhead! What a wonderful donation to our school! Thank you Rotary!
