We have some of the BEST bus drivers around, and they play such an important role in our students’ school days!
For many of our students, their bus driver is one of the first familiar faces they see in the morning and one of the last at the end of the day. Those daily greetings and conversations create a pretty special connection with both our littles and our bigs!
Our Transportation Director, Chad O’Neal, wanted to recognize the great kids who ride our buses, so this year our drivers will select one student each month to receive the Great Bus Conduct Award!
Our October recipients were chosen for being great examples while riding the bus and each received a gift certificate to Tri-Mee for a small ice cream cone!
We are so proud of our October award winners and love having another opportunity to celebrate students who are doing the right things each day. Congratulations! We can’t wait to see who our drivers recognize next month!

The Yellowjacket Cross Country season came to a close Saturday at Regionals right here at home in Fredonia.
This group has shown all season that they’re so much more than a team...they’re a family. Having the opportunity to watch them compete together on their home course one final time made that even more special.
We’ve loved following their accomplishments, celebrating their PRs and watching this young team continue to improve meet after meet.
What a wonderful season for a group of runners who truly love the sport and love supporting one another. Congratulations on a great season, Jackets!

It’s been a week since the Lady Jackets took the court one final time this season at Regional Quads in Riverton, closing the book on another great season of Fredonia Volleyball.
While the postseason didn’t end the way they had hoped, there is plenty to celebrate! The Lady Jackets finished with a 20–16 Varsity record, while JV wrapped up its season at 11–7, giving the program another winning season to be proud of.
Throughout the year, these ladies competed and represented Fredonia with so much heart. From the first serve of the season to the final point, they continued to battle and gave us plenty of exciting volleyball along the way.
Congratulations to our players and coaches on a great season, Lady Jackets! We’re proud of you!

Our seniors took another step toward what comes NEXT!
During Apply Kansas, students had the opportunity to explore their options after high school and take advantage of FREE college applications to schools across Kansas.
For some, it meant applying to a school they’ve had their sights set on, while for others, it was a chance to explore a few more possibilities and see where the future might lead.
No matter where their next chapter takes them, we loved seeing our seniors take advantage of this opportunity and invest in their FUTURE!

It was the kind of night made for football cool, wet and MUDDY! After days of rain, the field at Neodesha had turned into a sloppy mess, and by the end of warmups, those white jerseys weren’t so white anymore!
Neodesha came out strong and the Jackets battled through tough conditions all night. Looking for some hard yards, Hunter Smith made the move from the line into the backfield and delivered Fredonia’s lone touchdown before powering in the two-point conversion.
It wasn’t the ending this group wanted, but one game doesn’t define the season they put together. This team was fun to coach, worked hard, grew throughout the year and took care of business in the classroom with no eligibility issues all season.
We’re proud of these young men and can’t wait to see where their hard work takes them next. Great season, Jackets!
