We're inviting our students to dust off those cowboy boots, pull on their favorite jeans, and show off their best western or farm-inspired style! Whether it's a cowboy hat, farming ball cap, button-down shirt, sweatshirt, or a big belt buckle, we can't wait to see our little cowboys and cowgirls dressed for the occasion!
We apologize for the late notice and appreciate everyone's understanding! As always, dress-up days are completely optional, and there is absolutely no obligation to participate. We're just looking forward to a fun day with our students!
With Fall Ball coming up this Saturday, November 14, our FHS Yearbook Staff will be stepping in to capture some special memories from the evening!
Students attending Fall Ball will have the opportunity to purchase picture packages through our Yearbook Staff. Whether you're taking pictures with friends or that special someone, we want to make sure you have a keepsake from the night!
Our Yearbook Staff has been working behind the scenes to create a special photo backdrop for the occasion and is putting in the extra effort to provide students with a picture-taking experience that is as professional as possible. While this is a little different from our traditional dance photography, our students are excited to take on the opportunity and make the most of it!
Interested in ordering pictures? We've made the process as easy as possible! Unfortunately, we are unable to attach the fillable picture package order form directly to this post. If you would like a fillable form emailed to you, simply reach out to our Yearbook Staff at yearbook@fredoniaks.com, and they will be happy to send one your way!
Once completed, you can email your order form back to the Yearbook Staff or print it out and bring it with you to the dance. Printed copies will also be available in the school office for students who prefer to fill one out by hand.
Have questions or need additional information? Feel free to reach out to our Yearbook Staff at yearbook@fredoniaks.com.
We appreciate everyone's support of our Yearbook program and look forward to capturing some great memories at Fall Ball 2026!
With a large number of teams participating and limited seating available at Cherryvale's facility, the host school is encouraging families and supporters to cheer on their wrestlers from home through the Hudl livestream rather than attending in person.
While we know our Yellowjacket fans love showing up to support our student-athletes, we appreciate everyone's understanding and cooperation in helping Cherryvale accommodate the participating teams, athletes, and spectators safely and comfortably.
Catch all the action LIVE here:

Let's show our Yellowjacket wrestlers some support, even if it's from a distance!
Tuesday, November 10 from 7:00–8:00 pm
As our Yellowjacket basketball and wrestling programs prepare for the 2026–2027 season, this meeting is an important opportunity for parents and guardians to connect with coaches, learn about expectations for the upcoming season, and receive information to help their student-athletes get off to a great start.
We're looking forward to another great season of Yellowjacket athletics and can't wait to get things underway!
For this year's Professional Presentation STAR Event, the duo developed a water safety initiative titled "Stay Afloat," focusing on drowning prevention, recognizing water emergencies, and knowing how to respond when every second counts.
On October 20, Ava and Tate shared their presentation with students in grades 9–12. But they didn't stop there! From October 26–29, they took their project a step further by providing hands-on training to our high school students in CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, and proper AED use.
With the guidance and support of Todd Ballard, their lifeguard manager and Director of EMS, Ava and Tate have worked hard to equip their peers with potentially lifesaving knowledge and skills. They are also developing CPR wallet cards and informational posters to continue spreading awareness throughout our school and community.
What makes this project so special is that Ava and Tate took something they are already passionate about and found a way to use it to help others. Their efforts are a wonderful example of what FCCLA is all about...developing leadership, serving others, and making a positive impact!
We are incredibly proud of these two Yellowjackets for taking the initiative to educate their peers and help make our community a safer place!
A little reading, a little fun and a whole lot of lightning bugs!
Join us tomorrow night for Kansas Reads to Preschoolers on November 10 at 6 pm at the Fredonia Public Library!
Families will enjoy the story Lightning Bug Jamboree, along with a snack and fun activities to enjoy together.
This special evening is sponsored by the Wilson County Early Childhood Alliance and USD 484 Parents as Teachers.
Bring your little reader and join us for a fun evening of stories, activities and family time!
Wrestling gets underway at 4:00 pm in Wilson Gym, so come out, fill the stands, and show our Yellowjackets some hometown support as they battle it out on the mat!
Let's go, Jackets!
During Buffer Week, there will be no school-sponsored practices, open gyms, offseason conditioning, weight room workouts, or other athletic workouts outside the regular school day. One exception to note for our Yellowjacket athletics is that Junior High Wrestling practices and meets will continue as scheduled during Buffer Week.
Winter sports practices officially begin Monday, November 16, and we can't wait to see our Yellowjackets back in action!
To all of our student-athletes, enjoy the break, give your bodies some time to recover, and come back ready to tackle another season!
Tuesday, November 10, Eric Marr will be taking our winter sports pictures beginning at 3:30 pm, right after school!
Picture order forms will be available in the office beginning tomorrow, and Venmo will be accepted as a payment option.
PLEASE NOTE: Although the attached order form says Fall Sports, these pictures are for our Winter Sport athletes! Package options and pricing can be found on the attached form.
We look forward to getting our winter athletes in front of the camera as we prepare for another season of Yellowjacket athletics!
November 9 - 15
These students have spent countless hours practicing and preparing for the opportunity to showcase their talents, and we are excited to have them representing Fredonia!

From November 2–13, students are collecting diapers to support the Wilson County Early Childhood Alliance and local families with young children right here in our community.
Each grade level will compete to see who can collect the most, so send those diapers in with your student and help their grade take the lead!
Every diaper counts, and every donation makes an impact.
Our Leadership Action class is working to make this year’s Veterans Day Assembly a meaningful tribute, and we would love to have our veterans, their families and our community join us.
