Yellowjackets Serve Boldly: Plunge for Inclusion!
Fredonia Junior Senior High School is gearing up for a chilly, heart-pounding tradition — the Plunge for Inclusion on November 21st at 1:00 PM! And this year, YOU get to decide who takes the icy plunge!
Students, staff, families, and supporters can cast their vote by making a donation at:
https://charity.pledgeit.org/fredonia25
Every dollar counts as a vote toward selecting the “lucky” winners who will step up, climb in, and brave an unforgettable icy dive — all for a great cause.
This event supports:
Fredonia Unified Sports
Wilson County Rockers
Special Olympics of Kansas
Your donation does more than choose a plunger — it helps create inclusive opportunities, celebrates student leaders, and strengthens our commitment to unified athletics and the power of community.
Join us. Cheer loudly. Give boldly.
And get ready to see which brave Yellowjackets take the plunge!
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.

Wrestling continues to grow in popularity across our school districts — with both boys and girls stepping onto the mat, showing grit, discipline, and pride in their programs. The excitement surrounding this sport is incredible, and we’re proud to see our Fredonia wrestlers leading the way!
This special ceremony will feature student performances, heartfelt tributes, and messages of gratitude for those who have defended our freedom. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and say thank you to the heroes among us — past and present.
We welcome all veterans, families, and community members to attend as we come together to remember and honor those who have given so much for our nation.
These students represent excellence in performance and pride in our fine arts program. Their voices fill every space with energy, emotion, and school spirit. Fredonia celebrates each of them for reaching this remarkable milestone!

Band & Choir Students Head to District Auditions!
It’s a big day for our Fredonia musicians! Band and Choir students are on the road to Pittsburg today for District Auditions — ready to showcase their talent and love for music.
These students have spent countless hours rehearsing scales, sight-reading, and perfecting their pieces, and today they get the chance to shine alongside some of the best student musicians.
We’re so proud of their dedication and can’t wait to see (and hear!) the results. Good luck to all of our incredible Jacket musicians — your hard work and harmony make Fredonia proud!
Fans packed the stands for an evening of school spirit and friendly competition. Both teams played with heart, but the Black Team earned a sweet victory over the White Team.
From big plays to big smiles, the 2025 Powder Puff Game showed what makes Fredonia special—teamwork, community, and Jacket pride.

The Power to Save Lives is in Our Community!
The American Red Cross is partnering with Fredonia Community and Fredonia High School to host a Blood Drive on Thursday, November 6, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the FHS Commons.
This event is more than just a donation opportunity—it’s a chance for our community to come together and make a real difference. Every pint of blood collected helps patients in need, supports hospitals in emergencies, and represents the kindness and generosity of the Fredonia spirit.
Those who donate between October 20 and November 16 will also receive a $10 e-gift card and be entered for a chance to win a $5,000 prize through the Red Cross “Harvest of Thanks” campaign.
Make an appointment, bring a friend, and give the gift of life. Together, we can show what it means to be part of a caring and compassionate community.
Schedule your donation at rcblood.org/harvest.
Let’s fill every appointment slot and make this drive one to remember!
