Our Horizon West students have been busy spreading warmth this winter! Through our annual partnership with The Joy Project, our Spuds teamed up to hand-craft over 90 fleece tie blankets for our own students and community members experiencing homelessness.
This project was a major highlight of our school-wide Month of Service. Our students are learning that a little time and effort can go a long way—by creating these blankets, they are delivering more than just handmade warmth; they are sending "extra joy" to our community during some of the coldest months of the year! We are so incredibly proud of the compassion and hard work our students and staff showed to make this massive impact.
Way to go, Spuds! 🧡🖤

🌿 Honoring tradition through hands-on learning.
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. 🧡✨

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
