Friendswood City Council voted unanimously to adopt a proclamation recognizing Oct. 6, 2025 as Joy of Friendship Day at Wedgwood Elementary School.

Why it matters: Council members said the recognition highlights the city’s longstanding program that invites second graders to participate in council meetings and supports Clear Creek Independent School District character education.
