Junior high is between sports, and high school fall sports are gearing up for the postseason. Here are the activities for this week!
It is very important to give your school nurse an updated shot record any time a vaccine is given throughout the school year year. Your provider can fax that information to 785-889-4662 or your child can hand carry a copy to give to the nurse.
For information from our school nurse, to download any forms that you may need, and more, visit the "Student Health" page on the district website, a link for which can be found below.

Mrs. Labbe's Food Science class is always a fun one, not only for the kids but also for the staff who get to "taste test" the results of their work. Recently the class made pepper jack-o'-lanterns, like the ones here made be seniors Rylie Honas and Konnor Nider. They then filled the peppers with italian sausage and other ingredients to create stuffed pepper, Halloween style!
To finish up the English IV unit on The Canterbury Tales, students in Mrs. Claycamp's class had to create digital profiles for a specific character. This presentation was senior Hunter Lamond's on "The Knight," and he's explaining that if the "The Knight" had a cellphone, these are what you would find and why you would find them.
It was a creative, relatable, fun way to engage students when learning about something written over 700 years ago!
The book fair is coming to Onaga next week, and you and/or your child will have the opportunity to check out what the library has to offer. On Monday and Tuesday, the book fair will be open during the school day from 8:30am to 3:30pm. Then on Wednesday and Thursday, the book fair will be open from 8:30am through the end of parent-teacher conferences at 8:00pm.
We hope to see you and your child in the library next week!
The high school football team is back on the road tonight for a league and district tilt with Troy. A win against the Trojans would move them into fourth place in district #4, an important note since the top four teams in each district get to play a game in their final week for a chance to go to the playoffs. With the season winding down, both of these teams are playing for a league win and a chance to put themselves into the playoff conversation. They will kickoff tonight in Troy at 7:00pm.
Good luck tonight boys! GO BUFFALOES!!!

Brian Force, a member of the Manhattan Fire Department who lives in Wheaton, came and talked Mrs. Elliott's morning preschool class this week. The topic of the visit was fire safety. He showed the kids his cool gear, told them all about what he does, and discussed measures one can take when it comes to fire safety. Mrs. Elliott and the rest of USD 322 are very thankful for community involvement in our classroom! Thanks again Brian for visiting us!
The weather is changing and so are the sports, as fall seasons begin to wrap up. This afternoon the cross country team is heading to Axtell for the TVL meet. The team has one more meet after that next week, then regionals will be here next Saturday.
The junior high football team will be playing its final game of the season tonight, as they host OTL rival Frankfort here in Onaga. Please note two changes to this game as it pertains to the school calendar. First, the volleyball team will not be playing, as Frankfort elected to come to the quad in Onaga last week. Second, due to the possibility of storms this evening, the football game time has been moved up from 6:30pm to 5:00pm.
Good luck to our cross country runners at the league meet, and good luck to the football players looking to win their season finale! GO BUFFALOES!!!

These Algebra 2 students in Mrs. Kocher's class have become very creative in how to get their juices flowing when worn out at the end of the day. Earlier this year they incorporated "Algebra Aerobics" to help them focus on the task at hand, learning new math concepts. A great way to refocus and stay on task! (Notice the last picture where the girls did a great job spelling "Onaga")
