The Sully Buttes Chargers will host Hitchcock-Tulare in the First Round of the 9B Football Playoffs on Thursday, October 23rd at 6:30 PM in Onida!

Our talented Middle Art Club students will be offering awesome face painting for kids! Stop by our booth anytime between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM to get a cool design. We can't wait to see you there!
About the Art Club
The Art Club is a welcoming zone for all middle and high school students throughout the entire school year. We provide a space where students are encouraged to develop their creativity at their own pace, explore different mediums, and connect with other art enthusiasts. No experience necessary—just bring your imagination!






3rd-5th graders were treated today by local Master Gardener, Marla Huse. They learned about heathy soil and compost heaps, life cycles, and got to enjoy fresh Squash soup from her garden as well as the always delicious apples she grows. Thank you so much for sharing your special craft with our students each year!









Mr. Dekker's US History class celebrated the end of the Civil War unit by going outside and playing some Civil War tag. Much like the actual Civil War, the Union team won overall!




In celebration of Latin American Heritage Month, our 8th-grade students dove into the vibrant world of artist Romero Britto!
They explored the life and work of the iconic Brazilian neo-pop artist, learning about his signature style that blends elements of cubism and pop art with bold patterns and dazzling color. Then, they put their own creative spin on things and recreated some of his most iconic paintings! Check out their amazing, cheerful, and incredibly colorful work! Take a closer look of their projects: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/8th-romero-britto

The 7th graders and their advisors would like to thank all of the parents that helped make our Homecoming Float a success! We couldn't have done it without you! You truly are the "Best Parent Crew Around"!! Go Chargers!!



Rooster!! Rudy the Rooster was in Onida this morning to talk to K-5 about pheasants. They heard a fun story and got to ask questions about our state bird. Thanks for visiting.




Travel Update for Tonight’s Volleyball Game at Timber Lake - A message from the Timber Lake School.
For those traveling to Timber Lake tonight for volleyball — we recommend taking Highway 212 and then heading north just before Eagle Butte. There is some heavy construction between Mobridge and the junction to Timber Lake, which may cause long delays.

Thank you to the Onida Fire Department for coming to school to share fire safety tips with the second graders!


We had a nice group for Book Club this morning. Thank you Mrs. Voorhees for the yummy muffins! This group will be helping me do story-time at the Fall Festival this weekend. It's awesome that they love sharing their love of reading!


Great Job Myli on your berth to the State Cross Country Meet! Let's Go Chargers!


First grade OFD coloring contest winners!
