Wildcats, it’s National School Counseling Week! Staff like Mrs. Anderson help students build confidence, solve problems, and stay on track. Let’s show respect and gratitude today by saying thank you and making positive choices. Be sure to stop in and sign her door card by tomorrow!

"Adaptive Sports Camp"  is free and held at the AJ Smith Recreation Center in Tecumseh. Every Wednesday, February 11th -March 4th, from 6-6:45! Pre-registration is required to participate.

Popcorn today, instead of tomorrow.  

Student Voice Team - Our meeting today will take place during Advisory.  Report to your Advisory for attendance and then come to Mrs. Smith's classroom as quickly as possible.  Don't forget to bring your notes and ideas.

MathCounts participants - Tomorrow is the big day.  Report to Mrs. Smith's room first thing in the morning with your calculators, pencils, and snacks. Wear your team shirts or school colors.  We will be leaving right away and won't be back until the end of the school day.  Don't forget to talk with your teachers today about being gone.

 Onsted Middle School Winter Formal – Cupid’s Ball! 

Get ready, Wildcats! Cupid’s Ball is coming to OMS! Join us for a fun-filled evening of music, dancing, and time with friends at our Winter Formal. Cupid’s Ball will be held on Saturday, February 21st, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the OMS cafeteria and gym.

Tickets are $15 per person and must be pre-purchased — no tickets will be sold at the door. The cost includes admission and light snacks.

Tickets will be available for purchase before school in Mrs. Smith’s math classroom beginning Monday, February 9th. 

Mark your calendars and don’t miss this special winter event. We can’t wait to see you there, Wildcats! 

The 8th grade girls traveled to Clinton on last night for their second game of the season. They played tough until the final seconds, but suffered a close loss. Proud of the way this group competed. Their hustle and teamwork were consistent from start to finish, and the players stayed locked in and supported each other. We fought through adversity, learned some valuable lessons, and showed a lot of growth. Ella Arnold, Ellie Cannon and Delaynie Rumsey all scored for the Wildcats. Next game is Monday at Blissfield Middle School.

The 7th grade girls picked up a great win against Clinton tonight! The Wildcats played with strong energy and hustle throughout the game, making smart plays on both ends of the court. The girls moved the ball and attacked on offense and played outstanding defense. Karis Brogan, KateLyne Winters, Amelia Fairbanks, Lilly Louden, Lilly Pliska, and McKenzie Dickinson all contributed by scoring for the Wildcats. It was a total team effort and a fantastic game to be proud of. Way to go! 

The Kiwanis Builders Club will be hosting a Hat Day this Friday! Students can show their support and wear a hat or a hood by donating $1. All proceeds will go towards supporting the Lenawee County Humane Society.

If you're interested in participating, Kiwanis Builders Club members will be collecting donations in the cafeteria before school starts.

Happy Friday, OMS! As National School Counseling Week wraps up, we want to give a big Wildcat thank you to Mrs. Tanya Anderson for the care, patience, and encouragement she gives students all year long. Wildcats, let’s finish the week strong by being respectful, responsible, and resilient!

🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎂
