The second annual Asian Fair was held on May 22. Created and facilitated by members of the Asian Club, the event hosts a variety of stations showcasing Asian culture and activities. This year the fair was held just outside the auditorium allowing more students to attend during their lunch hour.

Stevenson Elementary champions student empowerment, giving them a voice, the freedom to make choices, and the power to own their learning. Every year, the school focuses on one of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals to take school-wide action.This year, the fourth graders chose to focus on "Good Health and Well-Being."

The opening of VISTA Education Center is a significant step to address the increased needs of students, reduce long waits in attending Setting IV programs through our member district, and to provide easy and local access for our students and their families. We are excited to announce that the creation of our new Federal Setting IV special education program has been made possible by relocating our high school alternative learning center (ALC) back into the main high school building. This strategic move has freed up valuable space, allowing us to expand our services and better meet the needs of our students and families.

Fridley Public Schools Nutrition Services is proud to offer this program to keep our community's kids fed throughout the summer.

May is carnival season at both Hayes and Stevenson Elementary Schools.

One year ago, Fridley fourth grade students were finishing up their last year in elementary school, preparing to enter middle school. In February 2023, students had opportunities to attend a Fifth Grade Parent Night, tour the middle school during the school day in April and attend Fifth Grade Orientation Night in May, giving them one last chance to visit before the school year ended. 

Twelve dedicated Fridley High School senior athletes committed to playing their sport at the post-secondary level and participated in an athletic signing ceremony on May 22. Families, students, faculty and coaches celebrated each student as they signed a commitment to their future college.

The 66th Scholastic Achievement Ceremony on May 16 was a celebration of the culmination of academic achievement, athletic accomplishment and philanthropy shown the past four years by Fridley High School seniors.
