🌈 June is #PrideMonth! PRIDE means belonging, and everyone belongs at FCSD.
Members of our GSA Club (Gay Straight Alliance) planted perennials and annuals under the HS sign by the main entrance to welcome spring and make it feel special and cared for. They hope to make this an annual tradition.
The students from left to right are Cloe Zamora, Eli Brielo, Makalya Jimerson, Raylee Flanders.
These 5th graders volunteered to give speeches on "What Memorial Day Means to Me" as part of the Memorial Day ceremony at the Dunkirk Lighthouse & Veterans Park Museum.

On May 10, some of our high school students attended this year's NYSSMA Choral Majors Festival at Chautauqua Lake Secondary School. The students performed three pieces of music for a panel of expert music teachers. The students were nervous, but did extremely well!
The Fredonia Chamber Choir earned Gold with Distinction, the highest rating a music ensemble can receive at the festival, and only given to a handful of participants in the festival who demonstrate a high level of achievement.
Congrats to all the students involved for your hard work and dedication!

On Saturday, April 29, Fredonia Middle School Backpacking Club launched the 34th annual Quest backpacking expedition with the one day hike. After completing eight weeks of classes, sixty-five eighth graders from Fredonia, Cassadaga and Silver Creek Middle Schools took part in the adventure. They were guided by thirty high school student leaders and thirty adults. The first in a series of three hikes totaling fifty miles, campers learned hiking techniques, leave no trace lessons, how to set up their tents, proper road crossing procedure, layering and how to manage their equipment. The two day hike was held May 5-6 and the four day hike will be from May 17-20. The expedition is led by retired teachers, Stephen and Susan Cobb.
Thank you to all of our voters who came out to the polls today to exercise their right to vote. Both propositions have passed. The budget passed 312 to 185, and a proposition to allow a student board member or members passed 385 to 110.
