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!

Putting in the work starts with simply being present. Every morning you walk through those doors, hit the field, or commit to a new challenge, you're taking the most important step toward your goals. Consistent effort compounds, and showing up is where momentum starts.
When our Spuds make the choice to show up and stay committed, great things follow. Let's start the week strong! 🧡

💡 Amendment Fact #3: Let’s talk taxes.
This constitutional amendment will NOT raise your taxes. 🛑💵
Because funding comes directly from the returns on state-held lands and investments, it provides dedicated support for education without impacting property taxes, income taxes, or local tax rates.

Let’s chat about the Permanent School Fund Amendment! 💡🏫
We’ve heard a few questions popping up lately, so we want to share the quick facts on how this helps support our Moorhead students and schools across Minnesota.
❌ MYTH: "The legislature can use this fund for other state projects."
✅ FACT: Nope! The fund is officially locked in by the Minnesota Constitution. By law, every single dollar is dedicated exclusively to supporting public school districts.
Even better? It’s set up as a perpetual trust with a steady 4.5% annual cap. That means our funding stays strong and protected for today’s Spuds and future generations to come! 🧡🖤
