The Jackets took on a tough Eureka course Tuesday, and they were more than ready for the challenge!

Kallen Evans continued an incredible season, winning the 7th-grade race by 36 seconds for his 5th victory in six races! Xavier Fink also brought home a medal with a 10th-place finish, while Emilio Jimenez placed 20th.

In the Varsity Girls race, Abigail Hazelwood raced to an impressive 3rd-place finish, Izzy Cole took 6th while cutting 39 seconds off her time from last year, and Kinsley Ross finished 8th with a new PR of 25:49!

Hayden Harding delivered a strong final mile to race his way to 2nd place in the Varsity Boys division.

The JV Boys provided one of the most exciting finishes of the day! Sylar Eaton and Eli McCormick took control early, running together at the front before battling all the way to the finish. Eli surged ahead late, but Sylar answered and made the pass at the line for the win! Both runners set new 5K PRs. Christian Reid added another PR with a 4th-place finish and his best race of the season!

A challenging course, big finishes, new PRs and plenty of Jacket determination made for a GREAT day of racing in Eureka!

Way to compete, Jackets!

It’s a Junior High GAME DAY in Fredonia!

The Caney Bullpups are coming to town, and our Jackets are ready for a full evening of action! JH Volleyball gets things started at 4:30 PM in Wilson Gym, followed by JH Football at 6:00 PM at Pryor Field.

Come out and cheer LOUD for our Junior High Jackets!

Let’s go, Fredonia!

It’s time for some Pumpkin ’n Pals fun at the Early Learning Center!

Families are invited to join us TODAY from 2:45–3:15 PM for a sweet fall afternoon together! Enjoy a snack, create a fun fall craft and spend a little time making memories with your favorite little learner.

We can’t wait to see our ELC families this afternoon!

The Jackets brought the energy Monday night!

After having to reschedule, Fredonia JH Football came ready to play and earned a 26-0 shutout victory over Bluestem!

The Jackets established the run behind a strong offensive line, while Cohen Baker and Daxin Wallace found the end zone through the air. Riot Turner added a 24 yard touchdown run and McCoy capped off the scoring with a touchdown of his own.

Defensively, Fredonia was on FIRE! The Jackets played fast, physical football, created disruption all night and kept Bluestem off the scoreboard from start to finish.

A great team effort and another big step forward for this group!

Next up, Caney Valley comes to town Thursday evening for the Jackets’ final home game of the season!

The Sunshine Committee really outdid themselves for the month of October!

They were able to snag Dolly AND the Dolly Cart to make their way around the buildings, delivering drinks, snacks and a little extra sunshine to our teachers and staff!

What a fun idea and a nostalgic way to “Dolly” up everyone’s day!

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference and a surprise visit from Dolly...complete with treats, is certainly a fun way to put a smile on some faces!

A big THANK YOU to our Sunshine Committee for continuing to find creative ways to show our staff a little extra love and appreciation. You could definitely say this October treat was Dolly-lightful!

It’s a beautiful day to RACE! Our Junior High and High School Cross Country teams are headed to Eureka this afternoon, and they couldn’t ask for better weather to hit the course! Best of luck to all of our racers today! Run strong, Jackets!

You read that right...the Lady Jackets are headed BACK to Eureka, and it’s GAME DAY!

Fredonia is hitting the road tonight for another round of volleyball action, taking on the Altoona-Midway Jets and the Eureka Tornadoes!

The Lady Jackets get things started at 6:00 PM, with action happening on both the North and South Courts.

And there’s even more volleyball on the schedule tonight...our C-Team gets to hit the court, too!

Another trip to Eureka. Another night of Lady Jacket Volleyball.

Let’s bring the energy and go get it, Lady Jackets!

It’s a tee-rific day for Women’s Golf!

Kennedy is headed to Garnett Country Club this afternoon, where she’ll tee off at 1:00 PM for her final regular season tournament!

Let’s send Kennedy plenty of Yellowjacket support as she closes out the regular season on the course.

Best of luck today, Kennedy! Finish strong!

After a little extra waiting, it’s FINALLY time for our Junior High Jackets to take the field!

The JH Football boys are set to play tonight at Pryor Field, with kickoff scheduled for 6:00 PM. After last week’s weather forced the game to be postponed, the boys are ready to suit up, hit the field and get this one played!

Come out, grab a seat in the stands and help us give our Jackets a great home crowd tonight!

And a quick reminder, there is NO JH Volleyball game this evening. Tonight is all about JH Football!

See you at Pryor Field! Let’s go, Jackets!

What an evening for our Junior Class!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets and came out to support the Junior Class Shrimp Boil! Your support helped make this fundraiser possible, and we are incredibly grateful for a community that continues to show up for our students.

Of course, a Shrimp Boil doesn’t happen without some pretty important people behind the scenes! A very special thank you to our cooks Belinda, Justin & Walker Corle, Rebecca Town, and Bonnie & Zach Foged for giving their time and talents to prepare a great meal for everyone to enjoy. We appreciate all the work that went into making the evening a success!

And last, but certainly not least, thank you to our juniors who rolled up their sleeves and went to work! From helping prepare and serve to taking care of all the little things throughout the evening, you represented your class well and played a big part in making the fundraiser happen.

Thank you for making the Junior Class Shrimp Boil a success!

A little look back at Wednesday’s race day!

Our Junior High and High School Cross Country runners hit the course at Central Heights. Check out a few snapshots from the day and help us celebrate our Jackets for another great day on the course!

Great job, Jackets!

Weekly Calendar 2026
October 5 - 11

Today, we’re shining the spotlight on some of the people who help keep USD #484 running each and every day!

On National Custodian Appreciation Day, we want to give a BIG thank you to our incredible USD #484 custodial staff!

Long before students arrive and often after the hallways have emptied, our custodians are hard at work. From classrooms and cafeterias to gyms, hallways, restrooms and everything in between, they put in countless hours making sure our schools are clean, safe and ready for our students and staff each day.

Much of what they do happens behind the scenes, but their impact can be seen throughout every building in our district. Their hard work and pride in our schools certainly do not go unnoticed!

To our entire USD #484 custodial team...THANK YOU for all you do for our students, staff and schools!

We appreciate you today and every day!

The Yellowjackets are hitting the road to Mound City for a Friday night showdown with the Jayhawk-Linn Jayhawks!

Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM, and it’s looking like a chilly one, so bundle up, grab your black and gold, and come ready to cheer on the Jackets!

Safe travels and best of luck, Yellowjackets!

The shrimp are ready, the corn and potatoes are waiting and it’s almost time for the Junior Class Shrimp Boil!

We’re excited to welcome our Shrimp Boil ticket holders to the FJSHS Commons on Saturday evening, October 3, beginning at 6:00 PM for a great evening while supporting the Junior Class!

As we get ready for the event, we want to share one important reminder. The Shrimp Boil is a ticketed event and is open only to those who purchased tickets in advance. Because meals and supplies were ordered and prepared according to our advance ticket sales, we will not be able to accommodate walk-ins or sell tickets at the door.

If you purchased a ticket, your spot...and your shrimp...is waiting for you!

Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and supported the Junior Class fundraiser. We appreciate our community showing up for our students and we’re looking forward to a fun evening together!

The Lady Jackets brought the SWEEP to Eureka!

Both JV and Varsity took care of business, sweeping the evening with wins over the Eureka Tornadoes and Iola Mustangs!

The night meant even more as the Lady Jackets traded in a little of their usual gold for PINK in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

A great night of volleyball, a great cause, and a clean sweep for Fredonia!

Way to work, Lady Jackets!

The Lady Jackets are hitting the road this evening and heading to Eureka for a night of volleyball action against the Iola Mustangs and Eureka Tornadoes!

Fredonia gets things started at 6:00 PM against Iola, with Varsity battling on the North Court and JV competing on the South Court.

Then at 7:00 PM, the Lady Jackets will close out the evening with a matchup against host Eureka.

Best of luck tonight!
