Agar-Blunt-Onida School District 58-3

Huge cheers to our Kindergarten, 3rd Grade, and 7th Grade students for finishing their amazing air-dry clay Christmas ornaments! Check out the incredible projects they made—so much holiday creativity in one room! We are so proud!

Isabelle Kallhoff hosted a community blood drive Wednesday, November 26 before the Thanksgiving break as part of her NHS individual project. Through this event, 39 units of blood were collected, including those from 6 new donors. For her efforts, Isabelle will earn a $500 scholarship from LifeServe Blood Center. Thanks to all for helping to save lives through your donations!!

NHS Angel trees are available at Eric's Custom Repair-Agar, Don's Food Center, Lamb's, Presbyterian Church and the school in Onida, and Oahe Electric in Blunt. Thank you for helping our ABO students!
