All pumpkin sales will be by donation, and we’ll also have an additional bake sale with lots of delicious treats. Your support will help our 5th graders and make a difference for the class of 2034. We hope to see you there!

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! 🎂
