Fredonia Middle School

Our hallways may not be filled with students, but they are far from empty!
Summer is an incredibly busy time here at Fredonia, and our incredible cleaning and maintenance staff are hard at work!

In just 40 days, they:
✨ Empty, deep clean, and reset 190 rooms.
✨Clean and polish hallways, stairwells, foyers, and gym floors.
🔧 Repair everything from light fixtures to faucets to furniture.
📦 Assemble new equipment.
📬 Help our purchasing department organize and deliver incoming packages.

(Because of Summer School in the High School, the Extended Year Program in parts of the Elementary and Middle School, and the pool and auditorium being utilized by the Fredonia Pomfret Recreation Dept., many rooms aren't able to be cleaned and reset until early August! )

A HUGE THANK YOU to the cleaning and maintenance staff!! Their dedication and hard work make it possible for us to start the year strong in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment!!!

Just some of the contents of a room that's being cleaned and reset.

The amount of items that need to be moved is staggering.

More hallways, more items carefully moved, ready to be cleaned.

Just a small peek at shipping & receiving.

Clean carpets in the High School Office.
