What a great Spirit Week so far! Tonight we continue the celebration with our parade, football game, and bonfire, followed by the dance tomorrow night.
Homecoming Parade Update
Due to road construction on Route 20, we’ve made some changes to keep everyone safe while still celebrating our Homecoming traditions! The parade route will now take place along Chestnut Street.

Parade steps off at 6:20 PM sharp
Floats and groups will march down Chestnut toward Wheelock, then on to the Orange Bowl!

Park as you normally would for the football game.
Line the sidewalks along Chestnut—please stay off the street.
A huge thank you to the student council and its advisors for their ingenuity, and to the Fredonia Police for helping make this plan possible!

A Boil Water Order has been issued for the Village of Fredonia
"All Fredonia water customers must boil water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth and making coffee until further notice. Water must be brought to a rolling boil for one minute then cooled prior to use. Boiled or bottled water must be used to wash dishes by hand; dishes should be allowed to completely air dry after washing. Home dishwashers that reach a temperature of 170⁰F and have a full dry cycle do not need to be boiled. The water may be used for bathing as long as it is not consumed. The water is safe for laundry."
In terms of the impact of this news on our school district, here is some information to know:
For the time being, our water at school cannot be used for drinking.
For the time being, our drinking fountains will not be available.
We have water from a local bottled water supplier in place.
For more information, call the Village at 716-679-2307 or the County Health Department at 716-753-4481.
