Moorhead High School staff hosted a student support event this past weekend! Students stopped by to get help with homework and prepare for future tests. Also, the Army National Guard provided donuts... which makes doing homework on a Saturday morning a bit sweeter! 🍩
Our students have been showing off their creative sides! A recent mobile app project had students brainstorming a concept, designing the logo and formulating a marketing strategy.
Here are three apps we heard about:
📚 BookTalk: For book lovers and writers, this app allows you to post on a social media feed, rate books, join a book club, and so much more!
🥇 My Gym Judge: Upload a video of your gymnastics practice, and the app will judge your performance. You will also get tips to improve and new moves to try.
🐴 Rodeo Outlet Company: Everything you need related to rodeos, all in one place. You can shop for your favorite products and brands.
