Fridley High School teachers Aanika Anderson, Christine Nalepka, and Ashley Reed paid a special visit to some of their students - surprising each of them with treat bags and a balloon!
"We wanted to do this because we were missing our students so much!" said Nalepka. Although these Fridley teachers often connect with their students on video chat, the teachers agree that it is not the same as physically seeing their students every day.
"During distance learning, I quickly realized that my favorite part of being a teacher isn't the actual teaching, It is the relationships and the time you get to spend with the students," said Anderson. "My students have a way of making me feel very special, and we wanted to return the favor to them!."
"It was honestly the best memory of the year," Reed said. "It reassured me that they are doing okay and they are getting used to the new normal. Seeing our students made me feel so happy and it reignited my fire to finish out the year strong!"
Anderson, Nalepka and Reed all echoed the same sentiment to their students. "We all cannot wait to see you again in person," said Nalepka. "Finish the school year strong and stay positive!"
Thank you to the more than 300 parents/guardians who have completed and submitted the Distance Learning Survey!
Fridley Public School students have been participating in Distance Learning since March 30, 2020 in accordance with the states executive order closing schools. Through this brief survey, the district is seeking feedback from parents and guardians on its Distance Learning initiative. Information gathered from this survey will help the district and schools review what is working for families and areas of improvement. Your opinion matters, so if you have not completed the survey, please check your email for a link that was sent to you early this week. The survey will be available until May 30, 2020. Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback through this survey.
