FARGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Educating and Empowering All Students to Succeed
History Harvest Events
To honor the history and legacy of our elementary schools and celebrate the journey toward their consolidation into a single new facility, the District hosted a series of History Harvest events at Horace Mann, Roosevelt, and Madison Elementary Schools.
These community-centered events were designed to gather stories, artifacts, and memories from alumni, students, families, staff, and residents. Information and materials collected will be preserved in a digital time capsule and may help inspire elements within the design of the new elementary school.

The District invited all community members — past and present — to participate, contribute, and celebrate the legacy of these beloved schools. Voices gathered through the History Harvest will help ensure that the history, culture, and traditions of Horace Mann, Roosevelt, and Madison continue to shape the next chapter in public education for our students.
