As we wrap up another school year, we say congratulations, thank you, and farewell to an amazing group of teachers and staff who are retiring from FCSD. These individuals represent a combined 280 years of service to the district. WOW! A sincere thank you to each and every one of these members of our #fredoniafamily on their dedication and impact over the years.
Last evening, our Board of Education granted tenure to Mary Ihrig, Derek Kuch, Lindsey Moon, and Scott Herdzik. Congratulations to this exceptional group of educators! We believe tenure is earned, not given, and these individuals have certainly worked hard to make an impression on our school community in the short time they have been with us. Please join us in congratulating Mary, Derek, Lindsey, and Scott!
Our UPK students recently took a deep dive into 14 different artists from around the world. They learned about their techniques, style and life. They then created a work of their own based on that artist's unique style. Some of the artists studied were Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Frida Kahlo, George Seurat, Jackson Pollock, and Yayoi Kusama. Thanks to Mrs. Guiffreda for taking our students on a trip around the world through art!
Fredonia CSD is closed today in observance of Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

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!
