I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this procedure is to establish guidelines for the “We Are Proud” portion of the Moorhead School Board meeting agenda and recognize the achievements, honors or contributions of those associated with Moorhead Area Public Schools.
II. GENERAL STATEMENT
In order to recognize the accomplishments of the students and adults associated with Moorhead Area Public Schools, all suggestions of recipients should be forwarded to the Executive Director of Community Engagement and Public Relations and/or the Superintendent's office for approval.
The Moorhead School Board will set aside time in its agenda to recognize persons associated with Moorhead Area Public Schools who have significant achievements, important contributions or honors. Those persons who are honored with distinction will be recognized in person during a regular school board meeting.
The following will serve as guidelines for recognition:
A. Students - Advisor(s)/coach(es)/teacher(s) will identify:
- First-place finishers at local or regional competitions.
- State-level qualifiers following the completion of the final competition, thus permitting state honors to also be recognized; and
- Individual and/or student groups recognized for various regional or national awards or achievements.
B. Adults:
- Peers identified by staff members, coaches, advisors, or School Board members who receive local, regional, state or national levels of achievement; or
