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.

The second graders in Mrs. Price’s class enjoyed working with Mr. Haase and his high school seniors recently during their technology class. The students collaborated on building a catapult. They tested their design using a cookie and a marble. The final goal was to see if they could shoot both objects into a cup. This was achieved by working cooperatively to make changes to the placement of the catapult due to the weight of the object. It was an awesome learning experience for all students. The seniors learned the importance of being patient while mentoring, and the second graders learned a little physics and walked away with a “Big Buddy”.
Thanks to WDOE Radio for featuring our therapy dog Yost and owner Tim Wright on WDOE's "Viewpoint" program. They chat about Yost's adoption, the process he went through to become a therapy dog, and how he's helping students at Fredonia.
