Women's History Month
Women's History Month actually started as Women's History Week, an event which was organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, and was first observed in 1978. Celebrations included a parade, essay competitions, and presentations about influential women.
The idea quickly became popular amongst different communities and school districts, and in 1980 President Jimmy Carter declared the week beginning on March 8 as National Women's History Week. The following year, Congress passed a resolution establishing Women's History Week as an official annual National celebration. Eventually, the National Women's History Project petitioned Congress to extend the celebrations to the whole month of March, and so, in 1987, the first Women's History Month was celebrated around the United States.
The resolution requested the acting President to issue a proclamation designating March as Women's History Month every year. These proclamations highlight the contributions that women have made throughout American history in many different fields.

New Program | GET READY
Get Ready is a federally funded college and career readiness program administered through the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. Get Ready partners with many different high schools in the Twin Cities and St. Cloud area. At the Fridley Alternative Learning Center, the Get Ready Program Coordinator, Matt Kiefer, works with students to plan for life after graduation. This is done through individual and small group advising sessions that focus on goal setting and preparation for students' postsecondary plans.
Donations Received
Our wonderful community partner, the Michael Servetus Unitarian Society of Fridley, has recently made a donation to the ALC and pre-school programs at the FCC. Michael Servetus has made a recent decision to sell their current building. They have generously donated craft and office supplies, which will be put to good use! Thank you so much for thinking of our students!
