Forest Hills Elementary School in Eden Prairie recently celebrated being named a National Blue Ribbon School for 2025. This is a big deal because only seven schools in Minnesota have ever received this honor. The award shows how well the school does academically and how well it has closed achievement gaps between different groups of students. On November 5, students, teachers, and families got together for a fun "Blue Ribbon Bash." They wore blue and waved banners to show how proud they were. The event had speeches, performances by students, and talks about working together, not giving up, and getting help from the community.
