ACCFC 5th–6th Grade Sports Sampler
The 5th–6th Grade Sports Sampler is a FREE after-school program designed for Fridley Middle School students in grades 5 and 6. YMCA coaches will lead students through a variety of sports and active games (such as basketball, soccer, flag football, and more). The focus is on learning skills, building confidence, and being part of a positive team—no prior experience needed and all equipment is provided.All genders and ability levels are welcome, and a snack is provided each day. Students may also use the 4:45 p.m. activity bus in alignment with district transportation procedures. No sessions are held during school closure days. Students should sign up for one session only in order to allow for each student to participate once if desired.Funding for this project was provided by the Anoka County Children and Family Council (ACCFC), a collaborative initiative of school districts, community providers, and the county that promotes resilience and improved outcomes for children and families. This program is offered in partnership through Fridley Community Education and the YMCA. The goal of this grant is to increase access to high-quality after-school opportunities for middle-level students.

Mixed Age Daytime (0-5 years) Separating Course
ECFE Classes
Our goal is to serve as many families, especially new families as much as possible. In order for new families to have the opportunity to enroll in our courses we ask that you please only enroll for 1 class at this time. If you are enrolling more than 1 child you will need to do multiple enrollments per child. All of our ECFE registrations are individual per child. In this mixed age class, you will enjoy time with your children (birth to 5 years) exploring sensory, literacy, and social experiences. Parents will separate for a discussion focused on the joys and challenges of raising young children in a supportive atmosphere. Parent topics are led by a licensed parent educator to encourage self-confidence in parenting skills. Our licensed teachers will help your child develop in their social interactions and language through play with activities like play dough, painting, classroom exploration and many others. Please help us learn about your child and family. We ask that you provide as much detailed information as possible so that we can most effectively meet your child's needs. Additionally, as part of Fridley Public Schools some of the information we are requesting is personally identifying data about your family that is similar to the data collected from students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade. All data provided is protected by state and federal education data privacy laws. Only aggregated information will be published that DOES NOT identify individual children, neither you or your child will be identified in any published report. The information from this data will help the Minnesota Department of Education show how investments in young children pays out in the future as a way to increase reading and math scores, as well as, leading to lifelong success.
