This is just a fun concept and these are not real cards for purchase, but we want to know which design you love more! Our team put together two totally different styles and we need your help deciding which one has the best "collectible" vibe.
Either way, we think these cards should be in every collection. Go Spuds!

💡 Amendment Fact #9: Where does the money in the Permanent School Fund actually come from? 🌲📈
Revenue is generated through natural resource management, land leases, and state investments managed by state agencies. It is a self-sustaining endowment, meaning increased distributions come from fund growth, not taxpayer dollars.

The team earned top marks for their design innovation, stunning photography, graphic creativity, and commitment to capturing an inclusive story of our school community, packed with unforgettable "OMG moments"! 👏
This massive achievement comes during a landmark year for the publication, which transitioned into an after-school club and grew to 30 active student members.

Every school day, our buses carry our most precious cargo... our kids! School bus safety is a team effort that takes drivers, parents, students, and our entire community working together to keep everyone safe.
🚨Flashing Lights & Extended Stop Arm: STOP! Traffic in both directions must stop at least 20 feet away on undivided roads. It is illegal and dangerous to pass a bus with its stop arm extended and when the lights are flashing.
📵Stay Alert: Put away mobile devices and slow down in school zones and near neighborhood bus stops.
Let’s keep our streets safe for everyone. Drop a 💛 in the comments to commit to driving distraction-free this school year!

Our unique mascot dates back over a century to the late 1910s and 1920s! The Red River Valley was renowned nationwide for its potato farming, and one early Moorhead school was even built directly on a former potato field.
To honor our area’s rich agricultural roots—and the hard work, grit, and pride of the community—the name stuck! More than a century later, we’re still proud to be the only school around cheering on the mighty Spud! 🥔🔥🧡🖤

When our Peer to Peer students learned that our visiting Homecoming opponents had a tough experience at their own game recently, they wanted to make sure they felt welcomed, valued, and supported the moment they arrived at our building. Together, they created bright, encouraging posters to ensure a positive and respectful game day for everyone.
We are so proud of these students for proving that true sportsmanship goes far beyond the scoreboard. Thank you for showing us all what it means to lift people up! 🧡🖤

💡 Amendment Fact #8: Putting this measure on the ballot was approved with broad bipartisan support by the Minnesota Legislature.
Lawmakers from across the political spectrum agreed that modernizing the fund distribution is a sensible way to increase school funding using existing state assets—without raising taxes on Minnesotans.

💡 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.

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. 🥔🧡
