Tonight’s another chance to create lasting Homecoming memories — so grab your black and gold and join us as the Fredonia Yellowjackets take on the Caney Bullpups!
Theme: Black & Gold
Location: Pryor Field & Gene John Stadium
Kickoff: 7:00 PM
Let’s pack the stands and turn up the noise as we fill the gridiron with nonstop energy from kickoff to the final whistle! Bring your spirit, your pride, and your loudest Jacket cheer — tonight, we make memories that last!
Families and students are invited to enjoy a pancake & sausage on a stick with fruit, share breakfast together, and kick off the day with smiles and conversation.
It’s the perfect way to celebrate connection, community, and the joy of a morning meal shared with friends!
Join us Thursday, October 9th from 2:45–3:15 PM at the Fredonia ELC for a fun and relaxing afternoon of Popcorn & Puzzles!
Families, students, and staff are invited to come together, enjoy a tasty snack, and piece together some friendly fun. It’s a great way to unwind, connect, and build memories—one puzzle piece (and one popcorn bite) at a time!
Bring your smiles and teamwork!
Volleyball starts the action at 4:30 PM — expect strong serves, quick sets, and hustle from start to finish.
Then at 6:00 PM, our Junior High Football team takes the field ready to bring the sting! The Jackets have been working hard all season, sharpening their defense and finding their rhythm on offense — and they’re fired up to put it all together under the Thursday night lights.
Come out and cheer loud, Fredonia fans! Let’s fill the stands at 700 E Bullpup Blvd and show Caney what Jacket pride looks like!
Our three incredible leaders pour their hearts into our students every single day, and it shows.
We want YOU — students, staff, parents, and community members — to join the celebration! Scan the QR code and leave a quick “thank you” or lovely message for the principal who’s inspired you, supported you, or brightened your day.
At month’s end, we’ll collect all those warm notes and share them with our amazing building leaders. They truly go above and beyond for everyone in USD 484!
Let’s show them some love!
High School volleyball will begin at 5:30 PM in Wilson Gym.
Jacket Updates 2025
September 29-October 5
Your cooperation keeps our stadium safe, fun, and focused on what matters most—supporting our student-athletes and celebrating Jacket pride!
Parents will get a behind-the-scenes look at our safety procedures—from daily routines to crisis response—and learn how families play a vital role in maintaining a secure, supportive learning environment.
On Friday, October 3, Fredonia Junior/Senior High School hosted a Renaissance Rally—a high-energy, school-wide celebration recognizing students and staff for their achievements, character, and school pride.
Much like an athletic pep rally, a Renaissance Rally channels excitement and unity throughout the school, but the spotlight shines on academic achievement, positive behavior, and kindness. The Jostens Renaissance program helps build a positive school culture where every student and staff member feels valued and appreciated for their contributions.
During the rally, several students and staff were recognized with B.E.S.T. Awards (Be Respectful, Encourage Others, Show Responsibility, and Take Pride) and additional honors celebrating growth, leadership, and positive impact across campus.
Recipients of the awards, from left to right, are:
Stay Gold Award: Vicki Starr – FJSHS Resource Teacher
Teacher of the Month: Maddison Cochran – FJSHS English Teacher
Growth Award: Dylan Hendrix – 7th Grade
Student of the Month: Abrielle Baker – 8th Grade
Making a Difference Award: Rylie Reynolds – Sophomore
Growth Award: Jax Gile – Junior
Stay Gold Award: Brayden O’Leary – Senior
Making a Difference Award: Deb Evans – FJSHS Academic Advocate
Staff Member of the Month: Shelly Appelhans – FJSHS Secretary
Fredonia is proud of these individuals for their dedication, positive attitudes, and daily contributions that make FJSHS a great place to learn and grow. Congratulations to all honorees for representing the B.E.S.T. of Fredonia and showing what it truly means to be a Yellowjacket!
Fredonia’s Women’s golfer is back on the course this afternoon, taking on the greens at Garnett Country Club! The action starts at 1:00 PM as Kennedy looks to keep her season going strong and post some low scores today!
Good luck!
The Jackets will host Altoona-Midway and Eureka: The C-Team kicks things off at 4:00 PM, setting the tone before JV and Varsity hit the court at 5:00 PM.
Let’s pack the stands, turn up the energy, and show our teams what home-court advantage really feels like!
