One small step for Kindergarten, one giant leap for Spud Pride. 🚀🌕🌌🧑🏽🚀🌟🛰️



We turned the lights down and the fun up! 🌟Mrs. Wothe’s 4th graders were beaming with excitement during their Glow Day—because learning should always shine! ✨🤩





How do you make school lunches fun for kids? Let them dress up! 😎
Moorhead Area Public Schools will celebrate School Lunch Hero Week April 28 - May 2. 🦸🏽💥
Staff and students have the option to dress up and administrators have the opportunity to serve lunch to students. FUN! 👏🏼
The goal of the week is to recognize the important role that food and nutrition staff play in the life of students. 💯✨
We are so grateful for the dedication of the staff who serve our students their breakfast and lunch each day! 🧡


🌟Happy Occupational Therapy Month! 🌟
We want to take a moment to celebrate and recognize the incredible work of our amazing OTs—Mrs. Sluke and Mrs. Getscher. Your dedication makes such a profound difference in the lives of the students you work with. Whether it's helping a child master a new skill or creating a space where every student can thrive, your impact is immeasurable.
Thank you for the patience you show and the joy you bring! We are so grateful for you this month—and every month! 👏💯

🌍💚 Happy Earth Day from Ellen Hopkins Elementary! 💚🌍
Today—and every day—we celebrate our beautiful planet by learning, exploring, and appreciating the world around us. Our students get to enjoy the great outdoors through physical education, recess, and exciting field trips that connect them with nature in meaningful ways.
From sunshine-filled adventures to hands-on learning, our students are growing into thoughtful stewards of the environment. 🌱☀️🌳

We had a 'Pickle Day' in art, where students get to 'pick' what activity they do and they really rocked it! Lots of dexterity practice and open ended play. ✨

Years may have passed, but some connections never fade. Mrs. Hanson, now retired, reunited with her former student Elijah—who now works at the very same school where she spent so many years teaching—and the smiles say it all. A full-circle moment between a teacher who gave her heart and a student who never forgot. 🧡🤍🖤


Our kindergartners learned the importance of seatbelt safety today with Buckle Up With Bucky! 🚑✨





Buddy system in action! Walking safely, side by side, all the way to the bus.💛🚌


There are more pop-up food pantries taking place in partnership with the Great Plains Food Bank. If you or someone you now is experiencing food insecurity this spring, these food pantries require no referrals or qualifiers for the supplies distribution, which includes fruit, canned goods, fresh meat, and more. These are hosted at the Grace United Methodist Church in Moorhead, and the First Congregational United Church of Christ. See images for details.
