Spud Spotlight shines on Ausama Abdulaziz. Mrs. Hanson says Ausama is one student that loves to learn and loves to be in school. His zeal for learning can be seen with his big smile that lights up the room. He is a strong student and gives 100% in everything that he does. Ausama is a joy to be around and strives to improve himself. He is an advocate for himself, a great role model for other students, respectful, kind, and ready to learn. I am so honored to have him in my Discovering Careers I class this year. I admire his worth ethic, positive attitude, thankfulness, appreciation, and enthusiasm for learning. Mr. Fell says Ausama is a very hard-working student who always takes the time to be kind and thoughtful to other students and teachers. His positive attitude is infectious. He takes the time to make meaningful connections with everyone around him, and we are the better for it. He leads by example; though he might not think of himself as a leader, he naturally falls into that role. Congratulations on being a #spudsofcharacter!

Spud Spotlight shines on Abigail Von Bank. Mrs. Michener says Abby is such a kind and generous person. She has an infectious personality and can light up any room (or google meeting) she enters. It is hard to not feel happy when she is around. Abby is a very hard worker and dedicated to her schooling and extracurricular activities. She has been such a blessing and wonderful role model for the 9-11 graders who are new members in Philanthropy and Youth (PaY). Moorhead High School is so fortunate to have such a caring person attending our school. I have zero doubt that whatever career Abby decides to pursue she will be successful. I am so thankful that I have gotten to know her this year through PaY. Abby, you rock! Congratulations on being a #spudofcharacter!
