Description

Press release from Fridley Public Schools: April 7, 2020 As part of the #BeTheLightMN initiative that honors students across the state, Fridley Public Schools will turn on its high school stadium lights at Bob O'Neill field, beginning at 8:00 PM to honor all students who are helping keep each other and our community healthy by following our governor's social distance directive. To honor the Class of 2020, the lights will stay on for 20 minutes and 20 seconds. We will Be The Light every night this week through Friday, April 10 and will continue to honor our seniors every Monday night for the duration of the school closure. If you choose to see the lights in person, please follow the social distancing requirements. We ask that you stay in your car, maintain a 6 feet distance from other people, and leave as soon as the lights are dimmed to avoid gathering. There are no words to describe how much Fridley staff misses its students. The lights are to remind all of us that we all can be a light for each other and for someone else. So, keep it up! Be The Light that shines hope, compassion, kindness, caring, and inspiration. And to the Fridley High School Class of 2020, our lights shine for you - GO TIGERS!
