Fifth grade students in Mr. Kwilos' ELA class recently performed a Halloween Reader's Theater skit for their Social Studies classmates in Mrs. Forbes' room. The actors enjoyed performing for their peers, and are looking forward to doing it again. We applaud their courage!

FCSD is closed today in observance of Veterans Day. We thank all those who have served our country.

Thanks to everyone who donated food to our annual Feed Fredonia Challenge! Each year, we keep the tradition going of collecting non-perishable food items from throughout the school which are then donated to our Fredonia Food Pantry. Our kids are proud to serve and excited to learn about how they are helping others around the holiday season. Pictured is Emily Thie's class, who assisted with collecting and sorting the many donations. Thanks to everyone who pitched in!
