Congratulations to 7th grader Lillie Weiser! Yesterday afternoon at the Onaga Stampede track meet, the young athlete set a new school record for Pole Vault by vaulting 8' 0"! The 8'0" leap broke the previous record of 7'0" which was set by Grace Linck back in 2015. Great job Lillie, we are excited to see what your future track career holds!

Mrs. Suther's 8th grade science class has been raising ducks, all the way from eggs to now newborns. When it came time for them to hatch last week, Mrs. Kramer's kindergarten students got to see it unfold. In the photo, several of her students await the arrival of a baby duck to their classroom! Mrs. Suther's class now takes care of the ducks and have daily responsibilities to make sure they continue to grow healthy. It is an exceptional hands-on activity for her science class!

This week the National Honor Society chapter at Onaga High School inducted its 2021 members. New inductees were Tyree Figge, Zac Fisher, Colby Fordham, Eva Krohn, Casey Myers, Colby Myers, and Wyatt Pennington. Current members of the NHS Kyler Bernritter, Chloe Fischer, Joey Marten, Caidin Meyer, Glennys Ross, Harley Smith, and Grace Wegner helped induct the new members of the organization. Over the past few years, the Onaga chapter of the NHS has been working hard to bring its requirements up to the national organization's standards. While GPA used to be the only determining factor for induction, the national organization actually requires much more. Students not only have to be successful in the classroom, but they must also display leadership qualities within the school and their community. The national organization requires both community service for each individual, but also for the group as a whole each year. While the transition at Onaga to those required higher standards has been difficult, the members of NHS have stepped up to the challenge and displayed exceptional qualities that indicate bright futures for them all. Congratulations to the new members of the National Honor Society, keep up the hard work!

Earlier this week the entire junior high and high school took part in a service learning day as they split up and worked on different community service projects around the district. Students helped clean up the parks in Onaga, helped clean up limbs and leaves at some local businesses, replaced the gravel in the beds along main street, worked on outdoor projects at the museum, helped with projects at the hospital, weeded and put in new plants at the Havensville park and ball field, and even helped touch up a mural at the hospital!

The high school baseball team is back at the friendly confines of Grover Eddy Field tonight as they host Kansas City Christian. This will be the first action for the varsity team in nearly two weeks as they begin the second half of their schedule. This game was previously scheduled to be played in Kansas City, but at their request the game was moved to Onaga a few months ago. It is also worth noting that first pitch is scheduled for 4:00pm, 30 minutes earlier than the usual game time, because of the travel time. So come out and enjoy a Lion's Club cheeseburger and some extra baseball on your Friday night in Onaga! Good luck boys! GO BUFFALOES!!!

Congratulations to the JV baseball team! In their first games of the season, the young Buffaloes swept Marysville by winning both games tonight 4-3. Ty Figge pitched a complete game in the first one, giving up three runs in the opening frame then not allowing another the rest of the game. Christian Henneberg knocked in Corbin Kolterman on a walk-off double to win the game. In the second game, J.D. Rice pitched three solid innings, then Henneberg closed it out as the Buffaloes won 4-3 again, and once more it was a walk-off hit by Henneberg in the bottom of the last inning that drove in Kolterman for the win. The varsity team is back in action tomorrow afternoon as they host Kansas City Christian. This game is on the original school calendar as an away game, but it was changed several months ago to a home game. First pitch from Grover Eddy Field in Onaga will be at 4:00pm on Friday, 30 minutes earlier than usual because of the distance between the two schools. Stay up to date on all events both academic and athletic at the school website's homepage. And follow each sport or activity at their respective pages within the website, which is linked below.

Good luck to the high school track team and the JV baseball team today! The track team is at Frankfort this afternoon for their invitational, while the JV baseball team is in action for the first time this season after several rain outs. They take on Marysville at 4:30pm in Onaga. Good luck to all of our athletes today!

The senior class enjoyed a local history tour today with Mr. Kufahl and local history guru Donn Teske. This morning featured a visit to Alcove Springs, a major stop on the Oregon Trail and where the Donner Party camped on their infamous trip to California. This afternoon they visited historically significant places around the Onaga area, connecting the dots from our local past to present day.

Due to graduation being held outside the football field for our seniors and 8th graders this May, there is no limit to the number of guests who can attend. Thank you.
