Agar-Blunt-Onida School District 58-3

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!

Our 4th & 5th graders spent the week learning the chemistry behind the gorgeous colors of fall! We studied chlorophyll to discover exactly why leaves change from green to red and yellow. Then, they put their observation skills to the test! Students used Play-Doh to meticulously recreate different leaf types, focusing on the tiny veins, edges, and textures. It was the perfect blend of science and art!
