🎯 Goal: 397 bags
💪 Final Total: 597 bags sold!
👏 52 students participated, and by Friday we were just 18 bags short of our goal. Our Buffaloes rallied together, sold those last 18—and then kept going to exceed the goal by 200 bags!
Pictured are our top sellers, who helped lead the charge.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased bags and supported PATHS, our students, and our teachers. Your encouragement made all the difference!

The OHS cross country team wrapped up their season at the regional meet at Central Heights in Richmond. Despite the cold, rainy, and muddy conditions, the Buffaloes showed incredible grit and determination. While no runners advanced to state, every athlete made tremendous strides throughout the season, showing just how much hard work and dedication can pay off. Coach Alex Miller and the entire team have much to celebrate and be proud of—congratulations on a successful season!
Postseason play continues for high school athletics today, with the cross country and volleyball teams looking to earn state births. The cross country team is at Central Heights High School today for the regional meet. A top 15 individual finish or a top 4 team finish will send the Buffalo runners to state. The girls race gets underway at 10:00am and the boys will follow around 11:00am.
The volleyball team is also on the road today, as they head to Mankato for the sub-state tournament. One of four teams at the meet, they'll take on the top seeded host school Rock Hills in the first round. A win would send them to the championship game where they will meet the winner of Bishop-Seabury and Frankfort. The Buffaloes will open up the day at 1:00pm.
Good luck today to all of our student-athletes! GO BUFFALOES!!!

The Onaga High School seniors are holding a Scrap Metal Drive on Friday, November 7th from 8:00am to 3:00pm to raise funds for their senior trip!
If you have unwanted scrap metal lying around, let us help you clean up! We’ll come to your location, pick up any scrap metal, junk cars, converters, iron, tin, steel, copper, and more, and take it to a scrap metal recycling facility.
To schedule a pickup, contact Mr. Kufahl by phone or email. Please have items easily accessible and, if possible, in one location. We’ll have some equipment for loading larger items, but if you have a tractor or skid loader, it would be a big help!
Thank you for supporting our seniors as they try to reach their goals, and let us help you get rid of unwanted clutter!

Sergeant Torres and School Resource Officer (SRO) Jacks from the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Department visited Onaga High School to showcase the department’s drone capabilities as part of a career exploration opportunity for students.
During the presentation, students learned how drone technology is used in law enforcement for search and rescue missions, accident reconstruction, traffic monitoring, and emergency response. The demonstration gave students a firsthand look at how unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are transforming public safety and creating new career paths in both law enforcement and private sectors.
Onaga Schools extend their appreciation to Sergeant Torres and SRO Jacks for taking the time to share their expertise and inspire students to explore emerging technology careers.
