Spring sports are upon us at USD 322 and, because there is no KSHSAA-required buffer week like there is between fall and winter sports, practice can begin this week. With the quick turnaround in mind, our coaches are giving our student-athletes a chance to catch their breath with a short break after the long winter sports seasons. Golf practice will begin Tuesday, March 2nd. Track, softball, and baseball will all be having team meetings during seminar time on Tuesday that may run briefly after the school day ends. Those three sports will then begin practice on Wednesday, March 3rd.

Mrs. Suther has always been great at finding fun, hands-on ways of teaching science to junior high students. Still today, in her 42nd year of teaching at Onaga, that hasn't changed. Students are often found having a blast while learning in her class, a difficult combination to create. Here, Delaney Figge and Elocin Moran formed up their volcano, concluding a unit on Natural Disasters in 8th Grade Earth Science. The class later planned for "eruptions" to finalize the unit. 7th graders Maddix Blacksmith and Jayden Haskin checked the mass of their egg and then set up for a 5-day lab to learn more about diffusion and osmosis. Daniel Barnes and Lillie Weiser can be seen doing the same thing at their lab table as well. In a different lab, fellow 7th graders Hunter Colson, Lauryn Marten, and Isaac Wegner practice techniques for pouring and measuring using graduated cylinders, beakers, and test tubes. Some students learn best by hearing information, even more learn best by seeing information, but the the most common type of learner are those who need hands-on activities. Mrs. Suther has mastered mixing in activities that make learning easy for all three types of learners! Thank you Mrs. Suther for all you do in the classroom, throughout the district, and the Onaga community!
