FGRJ and Community 2026

The Friends Gathering for Racial Justice (FGRJ) is an important all-school event at Friends School of Minnesota. The projects and performances at FGRJ demonstrate how our students learn about and engage with the ongoing struggle for racial justice at age-appropriate levels, building a strong foundation for their future work of dismantling systems of oppression. This all-school gathering is made up of a performance and an exhibition of student projects. A Quaker testimony(ies) is/are selected as a central theme for the event each year. This year’s Quaker testimony is community.

Our students are working hard to get ready for the Friends Gathering for Racial Justice and Community. Below are some key details to help you plan to attend this all-school event.

A detailed message about the event will be sent out on Monday, April 13th.
