On November 13th, Pittsburg State University hosted its annual TR-iffic Field Day, a carnival-themed celebration designed by PSU’s Therapeutic Recreation majors for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Hundreds of participants enjoyed bowling, bingo, carnival games, activity stations, and an uplifting day of community and fun.
Fredonia USD 484 proudly brought 57 Unified Partners (Pre-K through 12th grade) to attend and support this amazing event. Our students demonstrated leadership, compassion, and inclusion—ensuring that every attendee had a great experience.
From quirky contestants to high-stakes spelling drama, this hilarious musical invites the audience into a world where every letter counts and every student has a story. The cast of FHS students has been working hard to bring these larger-than-life characters to the stage, and their energy and humor promise a performance you won’t want to miss.
Cheer on these talented performers and join us for a night that will have you laughing, clapping, and maybe even spelling along from your seat.
Come support FHS Theater and be part of the buzz!
Congratulations, boys!

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.
