Our students harvested red willow today — saving the bark for medicine and the inner green layer for traditional tobacco.
So grateful for our new Indian Ed Liaison, Kathy Benjamin, for sharing knowledge and supporting our students. 🧡✨
Happy 67th Day of School, HZNE!

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
