Our 7th and 8th Orientation Classes are running a food drive to help our local Food Bank! Students can bring canned and other nonperishable food to their Advisory Periods now until next Thursday, November 20, 2025. The Advisory Class that collects the most will earn a pizza party!
Due to the large number of participants, Cherryvale is asking all schools to encourage parents and families to watch from home via the official live stream rather than attending in person. This will help reduce crowding and ensure a safe, comfortable experience for all athletes, coaches, and staff.

Wrestling continues to grow in popularity across our school districts — with both boys and girls stepping onto the mat, showing grit, discipline, and pride in their programs. The excitement surrounding this sport is incredible, and we’re proud to see our Fredonia wrestlers leading the way!
This special ceremony will feature student performances, heartfelt tributes, and messages of gratitude for those who have defended our freedom. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and say thank you to the heroes among us — past and present.
We welcome all veterans, families, and community members to attend as we come together to remember and honor those who have given so much for our nation.

We’re so proud of their dedication and can’t wait to see (and hear!) the results. Good luck to all of our incredible Jacket musicians — your hard work and harmony make Fredonia proud!

Fredonia Junior High FCCLA Shines with “No Dyes, No Doubt!”
Fredonia Junior High FCCLA members Adalynn Schultz and Luna Svaty are turning awareness into action through their STAR Event project, “No Dyes, No Doubt!” — a creative and heartfelt initiative focused on how artificial dyes can affect student behavior.
As part of their mission to educate and inspire, Adalynn and Luna participated in the annual Trick-or-Treat event around Fredonia’s town square for ELC and Lincoln students, handing out dye-free candy to ensure every child could enjoy the fun safely and inclusively. They went a step further by preparing special dye-free bags for teachers at both schools, providing classroom alternatives for students who need dye-free options.
Their thoughtful project captures the true spirit of FCCLA — leadership, service, and making a positive impact. Through “No Dyes, No Doubt!”, these young leaders are showing that small acts of care and awareness can make a big difference in promoting health, inclusion, and kindness across our community!
