The Fridley Schools Foundation held its sixth annual “Get Your Paws Moving” walk fundraiser on Wednesday, September 28 at the Fridley High School Stadium. The event raised more than $2,000 to benefit students and staff members at Fridley Public Schools through educator innovation grants, student scholarships, and other school and district initiatives. 

For the ninth year, the Fridley Lions Club donated gift cards to every Fridley Public Schools elementary classroom teacher on September 1. The gift cards help with the purchase of supplies for each classroom, such as crayons, tissues and arts and crafts materials.

Fridley Public Schools is pleased to welcome Craig Wieber as its new director of finance and operations.

The first week of school for Fridley students was different this year, with a focus on building relationships and addressing the social and emotional needs of students. By introducing smaller groups of students to their new schools and teachers, Fridley staff were able to welcome families with a personal touch, building on a practice that began during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A field full of happy children and enthusiastic parents on a sunny day marked the return of Fridley Tiger Club’s annual carnival. 

A new mural representing diversity was painted this summer at Fridley High School.
