 Socktober Update! 

Way to go, Wildcats! Onsted Middle School students have already collected 577 pairs of socks for Socktober — that’s 577 acts of kindness helping people in need! 

The competition is heating up, and our top three teams so far are:
 The Gummy Bears
 The Neanderthals
 The OG Dragons

There’s still time to make a difference! Keep bringing in new socks of all sizes — every pair counts toward helping our community and toward your team’s total. Let’s see how many more pairs we can collect before the end of Socktober (October 31st)!

 Let’s show that Wildcat pride by finishing strong!
