JH FOOTBALL RECAP
Caney Valley 30 | Fredonia 12
Last Thursday, October 8, our Junior High Yellowjackets took on a tough and physical Caney Valley team and the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story of this one.
Fredonia showed up ready to compete, bringing the fight from the opening snap. The defense played fast, physical and disruptive, while the entire team embraced a 'next play' mentality regardless of what happened before it.
McCoy Boss punched in an early touchdown after Cohen Baker recovered a fumble at the goal line, and Daxin Wallace broke loose for a long touchdown late in the game.
Coaches were especially proud of the toughness, effort and attitude shown throughout the night, calling it one of the team’s strongest defensive performances of the season.
The Yellowjackets now turn their attention to Neodesha for the final game of the season tomorrow. One more opportunity to compete and finish strong!

Lincoln is bringing back monthly character assemblies! Each month, students learn and practice a new character trait, with students who consistently demonstrate it celebrated at a school wide assembly.
Last month, we recognized students who showed Wisdom by making good, kind and safe choices. This month, the focus is Initiative...seeing what needs to be done and doing it!
From getting started without being asked to helping a friend or lending a hand around the classroom, we can’t wait to see our Lincoln students take Initiative!
Our FCCLA Peer Education team Jaida Bunyard, Payton Thomas and Dakota Jones, along with State Officer Eden Hill, traveled to Salina yesterday to give presentations and proudly represent District C!

Kennedy DiVietro wrapped up her Senior season Monday at Regional Women’s Golf in Garnett, finishing the day at +43.
Kennedy came incredibly close to earning a trip to State, finishing just 7 strokes behind the final qualifying score!
Even more impressive was the progress she showed. After competing on the same course just one week earlier, Kennedy returned to Garnett and showed tremendous improvement when it mattered most.
While her season may have ended just shy of State, there is so much to be proud of. The growth and hard work Kennedy showed throughout the season did not go unnoticed.
We are so proud of you and the way you represented Fredonia this season, Kennedy!

Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Healthcare
Last Wednesday, October 7, several of our Fredonia High School young women traveled to Pittsburg for the Inspiring Women Fall 2026 Conference, where they spent the day exploring the many possibilities waiting for them in healthcare!
Students had the opportunity to hear directly from women working in a variety of healthcare professions and participate in hands-on sessions. They also learned more about local educational opportunities and heard from women who have built careers as leaders in the healthcare field.
Days like this give students a chance to step outside the classroom, ask questions, meet professionals and begin picturing themselves in careers they may one day pursue.
We’re thankful for opportunities that encourage our young women to explore, learn, lead and dream BIG about their futures!
