October 19–23 is National School Bus Safety Week! 🖤
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! 🥔🔥🧡🖤

💡 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.
From cheering under the Friday night lights to riding the bus with friends, being a Spud comes with so many great moments! Take a look at the board and tell us in the comments: How many did you get and did you get a BINGO? 👇🥔

💡 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!
