What a week it has been for Fredonia Summer Athletic Development! This week, we reached an incredible milestone with 75 athletes participating each day. The commitment and energy our students have brought to the weight room and training sessions have been outstanding. Success doesn’t happen overnight. It is built one workout, one rep, and one day at a time. As we head into the final day of the week tomorrow, let’s finish the same way we started!! Showing up and working hard to improve. Keep stacking days, Yellowjackets. The results will come from the work you’re putting in right now.

What a great way to kick off the summer!

Fredonia Summer Athletic Development is officially underway, and our Yellowjackets came ready to work. We had 11 athletes attend the 6:30 a.m. session and an outstanding 31 athletes at our 8:00 a.m. session.

Due to the strong turnout, we will be extending the 8:00 a.m. session to 9:30 a.m. to allow enough time to complete the workout and give our athletes the attention they deserve.

Thank you to everyone who showed up ready to improve. The work has begun, and this is just the start. Keep stacking days, Jackets!

Congratulations to our May #USD484FamilyMoments winner, Heidi Fortner and family!

We want to thank all of our USD 484 families who participated in our Family Moments Initiative. Through the photos shared using #USD484FamilyMoments, we were able to see what family means to you and the many ways families spend time together.

One thing we learned throughout the year is that family is at the heart of our district.

Thank you for being part of this initiative and for sharing your moments with us. We hope you have a great summer filled with more family time, new memories, and plenty of moments worth celebrating.

Have a wonderful summer, USD 484!
