The intermediate class learned how to create crystals with Borax and water as part of our Mother's Day gifts. As part of our geology unit we have learned about how crystals are formed in nature, but these were our first classroom creations.

🌎 Students, staff and volunteers celebrated Earth Day 2026 by working on student-led projects including fitness trail maintenance, setting up the greenhouse and garden for the growing season, starting seeds, landscaping and orchard improvements. We cleaned miles of community roadside during our annual Onion Creek community pride project. ☀️The sun was shining, music was playing, and there was lots of laughter as we enjoyed a day well spent.

Onion Creek Middle School students had a great time at the Colville High School Rotary Club Career Fair! Students grades 6th-8th were able to explore all sorts of career possibilities with a favorite being their introduction into the world of fabrication with OCS alum Ben Finnoe. A stop off at Douglas Falls for lunch, and it was a perfect day.

Onion Creek School's 3rd through 8th grade students took a learning excursion to 49º North Mountain Resort on February 17th. This field trip is a great opportunity for the students to learn about different job opportunities, as well as gaining skills through experiential learning.

The intermediate class has a new routine that has quickly become an eagerly anticipated activity. During "Reading Practice", students may choose to read on their own, or with a partner. An hour goes swiftly as they take turns reading and discussing self-selected books.
