Moorhead Legacy Education Foundation was awarded a prestigious $10,000 Alex Stern Family Foundation grant to support students in need.
 
The Alex Stern Family Foundation has historically provided grants making an impact in the Moorhead Schools community by enhancing the district’s and MLEF programs. The focus for this Spud Impact funding will go toward eliminating barriers causing truancy, provide for basic hygiene and clothing needs, and support social and emotional learning.

MLEF is in search of match donors to double this impact, with a goal to build up our Spud Impact Endowment for the perpetuity of this district funding.
