Yesterday, KSHSAA held a student summit meeting to get feedback from students on different KSHSAA policies as well as inform them about why KSHSAA makes certain decisions that they do. From Onaga, we had Junior Xavier Berges and Sophomore Andi Wegman representing our school. They participated in a combination of whole group sessions as well as smaller breakout sessions. It is always great to see our students get involved and be a representative for smaller schools in the state of Kansas. Thanks to both students for participating in this first event of its kind!
It was a clean sweep tonight for the junior high sports teams. The wrestling team got things started in Holton, as the boys took three wrestlers who all went 3-0. 8th graders Max Krause and Rayvin Hager, along with 7th grader Grayson Kaberline combined for a 9-0 record on the afternoon and got a pin in each of their matches. The wrestling team has a short turnaround as they head to Silver Lake on Saturday for their invitational.
This evening the basketball teams got their seasons started with an OTL matchup at Frankfort. The A-team girls started their games off with a 23-16 win over the Wildcats, then the B-team followed suit with a 22-15 win. On the boys side, it was the B-team who played first and notched a 41-11 win, then the A-team capped off the night with a 47-16 victory over Frankfort. The basketball teams will be in action again next Thursday when they head to Centralia.

Congratulations to all of our junior high student-athletes on a perfect night! GO BUFFALOES!!!

Postseason accolades continue for the high school volleyball team. 48 hours after senior Natalie Boswell was named 1st Team All-League, it's been announced that fellow senior Lillie Weiser has been selected to play in the annual Northeast Kansas All-Star game at Highland Community College on Sunday.
An all-around player for the Buffaloes in 2025, Lillie finished at or near the top of multiple statistical categories. Offensively, she finished third on the team in serving aces and second in kills. Defensively, she set the tone in the middle with a team-leading 38 blocks on the year.
The annual all-star game showcases top volleyball athletes from HCC’s nine-county service area. Lillie was one of 24 players chosen for the event, and will play on the "Navy" team along with three other TVL players. Game time is set for 4:00pm at Ben Allen Field House on the campus of Highland Community College on Sunday afternoon. The game will be live streamed, a link for which can be found below.
Congratulations to Lillie on being chosen, and good luck on Sunday! We all know you'll do great!

Yesterday, our 8th and 10th grade students went to Rock Creek High School to participate in a program called Reality U. This program puts students through a simulation to teach students about responsible decision making and financial literacy. Students filled out a survey beforehand that shared what their GPA was, their future career aspirations, as well as personal life questions such as do they eventually plan to get married and have children.
The students went to different stations including Housing, Transportation, Insurance, Utilities, and more to determine how to manage their monthly income. For those that planned on being married, they had to travel to these stations with their "married" partners. If they said they were interested in having kids, they had to complete stations with crying babies to look after.
The Onaga students represented our school well by being engaged in the program and participating in the wrap up discussions afterwards.

Congratulations to Natalie Boswell! The Twin Valley League announced their All-League volleyball teams yesterday, and the senior middle blocker found herself on the first team.
Natalie was an offensive force for the Buffaloes this year, finishing third in both serve rating and serve percentage, while also finishing fourth on the team in kills. On the attack, Natalie was one of the best in the league. She finished third on the team in kills and finished with Onaga's best hitting percentage. Defensively she was just as good, finishing second on the team in blocks and digs.
To see all of Natalie's stats for the 2025 season, as well as the rest of the team, head over to the team's page on the district website. A link can be found below.
Congratulations on this honor Natalie, and congratulations on a great senior season!

Mr. Kufahl's sophomore World History class completed a "Wax Museum" project this week with presentations to the class. Their task was to select a person discussed in the prior three units, research them, create a visual aid, then deliver a 3 to 5 minute presentation on their person.
Just like in a wax museum, the students became the person they were presenting on. They dressed the part, and when the "button" was pushed they came to life and talked about their life, accomplishments, and impact on today's world. The class heard from the likes of King Henry VIII, Isaac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, Charlemagne, Martin Luther, Galileo, and many more.
It was a great time watching the students turn into historical figures for a few minutes, and they did an excellent job on the project!

Reminder, it's picture day tomorrow at USD 322. This will be the last chance for retakes of school pictures, which will take place during the school day. Then, beginning at 1:45pm, junior high winter sports will take their pictures. That includes both wrestling, as well as boys and girls basketball. Finally, after school the high school winter sports teams will take their photos beginning at 3:30pm. Just like the junior high, that will include wrestling as well as boys and girls basketball.
If your son or daughter is involved in winter sports, make sure that they bring their uniform as they will need those for the individual and team pictures.

Today was a big day for senior Lillie Weiser, as she signed her national Letter of Intent to attend Benedictine College next year on a track scholarship.
Lillie plans to attend Benedictine to study biology. The Onaga High School record holder in both pole vault and triple jump, and a gold medal winner at the state track meet last spring, she will compete in both events in addition to the heptathlon for the Ravens next fall.
Congratulations to Lillie on this amazing accomplishment! We look forward to seeing more success this spring in your final season as a Buffalo, and all of the great things we know you'll do in the future!

🎃🦬 It’s been a whirlwind few days since Halloween fun at Onaga Elementary! Our Buffaloes celebrated with classroom parties, a spook-tacular parade through town, and special read-aloud visits at Red Bud and Onaga Rehab — where students shared stories, smiles, and Halloween cheer.
A huge thank you to our amazing local businesses and community members for welcoming our little trick-or-treaters, cheering them on, and helping make this tradition such a memorable one. 🧡🖤
We may be a few days late sharing these photos, but the joy and laughter were worth the wait! 👻🍬

Our Research in Ag class has been working hard on building their own aquaponics system for their plants. They used a mix of recycled materials and built materials to create the system. The built materials were created in the Ag Mechanics and Ag Fabrication classes. They will be using this system to monitor their plant growth for their research projects.
This week's Senior Spotlight is Kenyon Boren!
This Wednesday (11/5), we had some seniors attend a college fair at Manhattan High School. These seniors were able to talk to representatives from different colleges both in state and out of state to determine what their best course of action will be after high school.
Needing family pictures for the holidays? The senior class is here to help you out! Next Sunday, November 16th the class will be offering family Christmas photo shoots in the high school commons. They are offering a variety of packages and backgrounds, and will be able to get you copies of the originals and or with Christmas backgrounds that will make your pictures ready to be sent out to family and friends. Refreshments will be provided, and all proceeds from the event will be going towards their senior class trip in the spring.
