Today is World Oceans Day! 🌊 Horizon fifth graders recently had the opportunity to take a trip to MSUM's Oceanarium and learn more about the life it sustains. 🐠🌏🐚 #WorldOceansDay #SpudPride


On May 11th, Horizon West hosted a Multilingual Family Night. Those in attendance enjoyed a pasta dinner and a short program about summer learning opportunities. Each family left with a brand new Lego set and deck of Uno cards, and an evening of connecting with the community! 🗺️




We are proud of Ondrea Cook, PEER teacher at Horizon West, and Mollie Moen, PEER teacher at Robert Asp, who have completed their Catalyst demonstration project, the highest achievement within the Catalyst program. Moorhead teachers are trained in Catalyst practices to promote safe and equitable classroom learning environments. Throughout this demonstration process, both teachers invited several colleagues to observe their instruction helping to create a larger culture of learning within their buildings. Ondrea and Mollie are teacher leaders and serve as outstanding examples for colleagues. #SpudPride
