Back in 2010, MAPS staff member Renee Grover brought her camera to a Spud football game to capture a few moments. Fast forward to today, Renee and her husband Bill photograph thousands of action shots, high-fives, and historic milestones across Moorhead Area Public Schools every single year!
In fact, it’s not unusual for them to capture over 4,000 photos in a single event to make sure our student-athletes and families have memories that last a lifetime.
Thank you, Renee and Bill, for your incredible dedication to telling the Spud story through your lens! 🧡🖤

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!
#BullyingPreventionMonth #ChooseKindness #KindnessIsASuperpower #SpotlightOnSuccess
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! 🧡🖤

DID YOU KNOW? 🥔💡
Our iconic mascot, Spuddy, was actually designed by a Moorhead High School student!
Way back in the late 1950s, MHS student Brian Coyle (Class of 1961) sketched out and created the very first concept for our cheerful, grinning potato mascot. What started as a creative high school art project grew into the ultimate symbol of Moorhead school spirit that we all know and love today! 🎨✨
From a student desk sketch to a field-side legend, Spuddy is proof that student creativity builds traditions that last generations! 🧡🖤
Drop a 🥔 in the comments to show some love for Spuddy and our MHS history! 👇

💡 Amendment Fact #2
The proposed constitutional amendment allows the state to increase the annual distribution limit from 2.5% up to 4.5% of the fund’s average value.
What does that mean for local classrooms? More resources for vital school programming without asking property owners for a dime!

💡 Amendment Fact #1: Did you know the Permanent School Fund was established back when Minnesota became a state in 1858?
Land was set aside to generate investment revenue and natural resource returns to support public education. This amendment modernizes an existing asset so our students can benefit more from revenues already generated—all with $0 added cost to taxpayers!
