Good afternoon. Tomorrow morning around 10:30-11:00, we will be having the heating system disconnected so we can start the process of going from coal to propane for our heating source. This will mean for the remainder of the school year we will not have heat. Please dress your children accordingly. With the current forecast, we are confident that the building will be warm. If something were to change, we will make announcements as necessary. Thank you.
The Thunder track and field athletes once again had an outstanding showing at the Eureka Legion Meet on Saturday, May 2nd. The boys' team won the competition with 108.5 points, and the girls took second by only 19 points, scoring 119 points. The Thunder racked up 50 place finishers , 22 PRs, and another Thunder record was rebroke! Go Thunder!
Good evening. Due to the weather forecast on Tuesday, we are postponing the Eureka Lions Track meet to Thursday, May 7th with a tentative start time at 12:00 PM. This meet will become a HS/MS meet so our middle school team will compete in Eureka on Thursday, and not in Onida. Thank you!

On a chilly Saturday, April 25th, the Thunder athletes competed on the track and field in Ipswich, braving the cold as they put their skills to the test. It was a tough day for some and a great day for others, but everyone competed hard! The team came away with 26 place finishers and 9 personal records—an impressive showing despite the conditions. Go Thunder!
On Friday, April 24th, the North Central MS athletes had another cool and windy track meet, but they came to compete! The boys team came in 6th out of 13 teams and the girls team won the meet! Way to get out and compete! We had 32 place finishers and another 27 PRs on the day! Go Thunder!

This meet was scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th in Gettysburg. Thank you!
