OMS students did an outstanding job collecting money for the Richland County United Way. The charity fundraiser came to a close Friday, November 20 with students raising an amazing $1,894.21.  Seventh grade students finished with a total of $882.13 followed closely by the 8th grade with $728.95, and in third place were sixth graders with $274.81. For their successful efforts, seventh grade will be released first at the end of the day for the remainder of the year. The top three Warrior Time classes earning pizza parties were Mrs. Johnson’s with $368.00, Mrs. Stover’s with $187.00 and Miss Fulk’s at $97.00. This was a tremendous effort by staff and students at Ontario Middle School representing the Warrior Way.

Seventh grade literature students have been practicing identifying a story's plot diagram. For their most recent story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," students worked in pairs to place the story's scrambled main events into the proper order. To add to the challenge, students were in a competition to see which group could finish first yet be accurate.
