Onaga USD 322 - Onaga | Havensville | Wheaton

March 2nd is the anniversary of the birthday of Dr. Seuss, author of many well-loved children’s books. I would like to share this Dr. Seuss quote because every time I read this quote it makes me re-think my day!

USD 322 Onaga Havensville Wheaton School District is very proud of all of our state tournament wrestlers. If you see Vincent Lara, Morgan Mayginness and Rylin Mayginness and their coach, Chris Niehues, please congratulate them on a terrific season. Go Buffs!!!

The annual Onaga FFA Banquet will be held at 7pm in the HS Commons on March 24.

Tomorrow is Leap Day and students in Buffalo Fun Club each made a “Leap Day Time Capsule”. Each capsule includes a selfie, lists of favorite things, and goals they want to accomplish before the next Leap Year. The capsules were then sealed…not to be opened until Feb. 29, 2024!

Morgan Mayginness- State Champion!!!

We have an amazing custodial staff that maintains our school premises in sickness and in health (with a lot of sickness lately!) A huge thank you to Donald Pinick, Jeff Mapes, Marjorie Haynie, and Christopher May for keeping our school a clean and healthy space!

The OHS girls basketball team showed great toughness last night in Regionals at Doniphan West. They worked hard this season and continued to get better with every game. Congrats to our team and especially to our seniors, Kady Figge and Laura Krohn.

Last Saturday the OHS boys’ wrestlers traveled to Council Grove for Regionals. They wrestled hard and “punched their tickets” to State! We applaud our wrestlers for their hard work and wish them luck at State Wrestling in Hays this Friday and Saturday.

The high school basketball boys played and worked hard yesterday evening and throughout the season! Even though their record may not show it, they put all their effort into the season.

This Thursday and Friday, Morgan Mayginnes travels to Salina for the Girls State Wrestling Meet. Morgan placed 1st at Regionals and now she’s competing for her fourth Girls State Wrestling Championship. Good luck!!

The 6th grade class was asked to read a short story called “Names/ Nombres “, then write a paper and do an art project spelling their name in any material they chose. When you have a chance make sure to check them out in the Junior High hallway.

Are your little ones missing items of clothing? If so, come and take a look at our Lost and Found table. The table is located in the elementary school across from Mrs. Rempe’s room.

We are conducting an MRA survey to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. The data from this survey will also help us track the impacts of the Leader in Me process and implement key practices more fully. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all full-time staff members, parents/guardians, and students in Grade 4 and up to participate. Parent Participation If you decide to participate, you will be asked to complete a survey (without sharing your name or other identifying information) that will be available through a Web link below. The survey is completely voluntary, but we do hope to get feedback from one member of every household. The parent/guardian survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child’s experiences as you answer questions related to his or her growth. The window for this survey is open until Monday, February 24th.
