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.

These awards are for all school newspapers in New York State and our publication is the only school in Western New York to receive recognition. Overall, the paper was awarded first place for design, third place for general excellence, and honorable mention for the school website. Several students also received individual awards for their work.
The judges said, “The Spectator is a thoroughly enjoyable and seemingly
comprehensive look at the life and times of Fredonia High School. Congratulations to
staff and advisors on a job well done. Writing style: appreciate the short lead
sentences and plenty of paragraph breaks. Most of the stories open with actual
news, which is great. Like the use of attribution."
