The 8th grade Volleyball Team played host to the Hudson Tigers on Wednesday night and were able to sweep the match with scores of 25-19, 25-6, and 25-15. Top servers were Sofia Teske & Lilly Pliska, and multiple others scored as well. Great job tonight!

The next match will be at home on Monday hosting Hillsdale.

The 7th grade volleyball team hosted Hudson last night where they faced off with the Tigers for the second time this season. The Wildcats finished set one 7-25, set two 23-25 and set three 18-25. Leading servers for the Wildcats were Leela VanBrunt with 5 service points followed by Taylor Dixon, Zoey Miller, and Kayleigh Downard with 3 service points each. Go cats!

The 7/8 grade traveled to Madison for a combined game. The Cats played well across the board! All the boys played hard. Reade Brown, Jacob Matausch, Jakob Priest, and Peyton Boss all got in the end-zone for the Cats. Jase Whelan, Dominic Celeskey, and Gavin Priest also scored for the 7th grade. The Wildcat defense played great again, Clayton Starnes made some great tackles for the Cats, along with Brenden Edwards, and Owen Ohlman. Onsted will travel to Dundee next Wednesday. Keep grinding boys! Bright future lies ahead!

 It was a warm day in Dundee, but our Wildcats pushed through and gave it their all!

Madelyn Mullins delivered yet another great performance, finishing 9th overall!

A special shoutout to Lilly Louden! After facing some challenges over the past year, Lilly reminded everyone what she's capable of with a new personal best of 14:48.! Some of our younger runners may not realize just how talented Lilly is, and it's great to see her starting to show everyone what she can do!

Hayden Jackson also had a breakthrough race! After working to get back to the times he was running last season, Hayden ran a new personal best of 14:12, reclaiming his spot as one of our top runners!

Proud of the effort and determination from our entire team today! Go Wildcats!

Smile on Wheels will be coming up soon. If you are interested in this free opportunity to get your teeth cleaned, get your parent or Guardian signed form to the office by the end of next friday.

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!

🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎂
