A message from Dr. Zilliox:
Hello Fredonia Families,
Please see the message below that we shared with our students today. We ask that you reinforce and support this message for all of our athletic events, but especially in relation to rivalry games.
Thanks to all those who will be attending our basketball games this week vs. Dunkirk and Southwestern. We appreciate your support of our teams, but please keep the following in mind:
Cheer for our team, not against our opponent.
Keep the language clean with no swearing.
Be respectful of the officials.
Be respectful of their fans and parents.
Represent our school positively.
Do not engage in negative social media dialogue with opposing teams and fans.
Best of luck to all players and coaches. Go Billies!
Stay classy Fredonia!
Dr. Zilliox

Happy Three Kings Day to our #fredoniafamily!
For Hispanics, Three Kings’ Day is the culmination of the holiday season, the day when additional gifts are exchanged and big family celebrations take place. Children write letters in advance to the Three Kings, telling them how good they were during the year and asking for gifts. On the Night of Kings (January 5th), children place their shoes outside their bedrooms so that the Three Kings will leave presents in them.

🌟 Merry Christmas to our #fredoniafamily! 🎄
A few actors were born this week in Chris Cybulski's room! These 2nd graders have been working hard on their production of "The Year Santa Got Mixed Up" and performed it for their families this week. The show had it all...humor, song, and even some prop comedy. Great job to all!
Judith Przybyla, School Counselor, presented to Maggie Snyder's PreK class this week about the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. They learned about traditional items such as the menorah, latkes and dreidels. Happy Hanukkah to all of our #fredoniafamily who celebrate!

Mrs. Foley and Mrs. Smiths' UPK classes recently took their annual trip to Lakeshore Savings Bank to help decorate their lobby Christmas tree. The tree was hung with handmade ornaments and the kids had a blast giving back to their community during the holiday season.
FCSD is open and on time today. Drive safe and stay warm! ❄️
Happy Hanukkah to our #fredoniafamily! 🕯️🕎
Our elementary elves (and Mr. Drollinger) are working hard to spread good cheer these last few days of the year!
The District Office is proud to share our latest issue of the Fredonia Forum, a print newsletter published to take a deeper dive into some of the exciting things happening in our district. Households in the district will receive their copy in the mail sometime next week!
You can view the full newsletter here: https://www.fredonia.wnyric.org/page/district-newsletter
Fun fact: our newsletter is copy edited by students from Dr. Gerber's WRTG-354 class at Fredonia. This has been a great partnership to ensure our newsletter is the best it can be when we publish. Huge thank you goes out to our Print Shop as well for making this vision come to life!
Kudos to our fourth grade mentors who recently read holiday books to their friends in first grade. What a great way to spread holiday cheer and the love of reading! 📚
We're back with another weekly update from the District Office. This week, we are highlighting some holiday celebrations, congratulating our PTECH student of the month, sharing a great video on the Polar Plunge, and much more. Enjoy the rest of the week!
