💡 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.

Hosted by our awesome friends in the Moorhead High School Key Club, this night is packed with face painting, carnival games, candy, and tons of fun! Come dressed in your best Halloween costume! 🍫🍬

On World Mental Health Day, we remind our Spud community that taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. It’s okay to not be okay, and reaching out for support is a sign of strength—never weakness.
Whether you need to talk to a school counselor, a trusted teacher, a friend, or a family member, know that you are never alone. Speak up, look out for one another, and let's keep building a culture of care across Moorhead Area Public Schools. 🥔🧡

October is Bullying Prevention Month
A powerful reminder that small acts of inclusion create massive waves of change. Standing up against bullying isn't just about stopping negative behavior; it’s about actively building a culture where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued.
3️⃣ ways to make a difference this month:
▪️Speak up: Be the supportive voice that steps in when someone is being mistreated.
▪️Make room: Invite someone new to sit with you at lunch or join your group.
▪️Lead with empathy: A simple check-in or friendly smile can completely change someone’s day.
Together, we can transform our schools and communities into safer, more inclusive spaces for everyone.
Drop a 🧡 in the comments if you're committing to choosing kindness this month!
