The Wooden School Fall Festival is Sat October 3rd 11am-2pm. This little historical school is located on Stephenson and Hawkins intersection. Lots of kid activities, bake sale, Mini horses, food, drinks and more. There are hanging flyers in the cafeteria message board with all the information and also a few to pick up in the office.

October is here, and that means it's time for Socktober! Throughout the month of October, Onsted Middle School will be collecting new pairs of socks to help those in need in our community.

Our building goal this year is 2,026 new pairs of socks. Every pair makes a difference, so let's work together to reach our goal!

Simply bring your new socks to your Advisory teacher anytime during the month of October. As a thank-you for helping others, every student who donates will receive a PBIS ticket from their teacher.

There's even more! At the end of the collection, Student Voice will hold a special drawing for everyone who donated at least one new pair of socks, giving you a chance to win a prize while making a difference.

Let's show what it means to be Wildcats by helping keep others warm this fall. Together, we can reach our goal of 2,026 pairs of socks!

The 8th grade Volleyball Team hosted Madison last night & had a challenging start with the opponents claiming the first two sets. Then the Ladycats bounced back with some good floor play to take the third.  Although the match went to Madison, there was some outstanding plays on the night.  Top servers were Sofia Teske & Macie Lover.   Go Cats!

The 7th grade volleyball team had their second home game of the season. The Wildcats finished set one 13-25, set two 16-25 and set three 11-25. No matter the outcome, the girls continue to work hard and find more opportunities to grow! 

The 7th and 8th grade volleyball players will hit the road Monday to take on the Royals of Blissfield. Go cats!

Robotics after school today 3-4:30.

The Middle School Wildcats welcomed Hillsdale to town Wednesday night and came away with a couple wins.

7th Grade
Onsted: 12
Hillsdale: 8

The Wildcats dominated the first half, scoring several touchdowns to build a big lead! The offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage opening up big holes for Jase Whelan, Dominic Celeskey, Gavin Priest, and Jaxon Guenther. Priest, Whelan, Guenther, and Celeskey all got in the end zone for the Cats! Colton Morton and Ben Roe made some great tackles for the Wildcats. An entire team effort tonight was the difference for Onsted! Great game boys!

8th Grade
Onsted: 6
Hillsdale: 0

This game was won by forfeit. Hillsdale did not have enough healthy players to compete.
Next week the Cats head to Madison to battle the Trojans

🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎂
