Annie the Aggie says "Eight days and counting!" The Auction Committee would like to hear from you!

Annie the Aggie says "Hi" to all her friends. Nine days and counting! Wondering how parking will be at Benoit? Well, don't worry! Yes, we will be parking in fields, and it may be a little walk to the "action", but - no matter where you are at, the local ATV club will be coming around to pick you up "in style" with wagons to give you a ride to the big tent! See ya there! The Steering Committee!
Hi Aggies: The final countdown begins today! All those registered (household) will receive a "piece" of Ondossagon!

Something for you that will last forever and remind you of a place you loved! The Steering Team!

MEMORIES OF ONDOSSAGON By DAN JOHNSON My first formal teaching assignment was a position at Ondossagon High School for the 1961-62 school year. I was assigned three classes of 9thgradeEnglish and two classes of beginning Spanish in addition to monitoring a study hall for one hour each day. My contracted yearly salary was $4,400, to Be paid in 12 equal monthly payments of $366.66 Looking back to that distant time, little did I know when I accepted that teaching assignment, my true education was about to begin. That said, despite the many challenges that were associated with my early teaching experiences, the three years I taught at Ondossagon were in many ways, the most beneficial and rewarding of my entire educational career. For that reason, I will always be indebted to the Ondossagon community and retain fond memories of a time long ago when I too was an "Aggie."
