Winnebago County Sheriff's Office recently used social media to remind communities about school bus safety while driving, and we thought it would be a good idea to help that communication.

A few reminders:
~ drivers must stop when they see flashing red warning lights on a school bus
~ vehicles may not proceed until the bus begins moving and the red warning lights are turned off
~ extended stop sign arms are an additional communication; however, all vehicles must stop, whether the stop sign arm is extended or not, if the red warning lights are flashing

Adhering to these guidelines helps to keep everyone safe.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Omro High School selects a senior student each month to be the Student of the Month. Seniors are selected for their academic successes, leadership abilities, citizenship, and extracurricular activities. The seniors who are selected for this honor are also invited to attend an American Legion meeting for recognition by the sponsoring organization and may go on the ballot to be a graduation speaker.

The January Student of the Month is Lainey.

Throughout high school, Lainey has been involved with volleyball and softball. Additionally, Lainey is an active member of Sources of Strength, Book Club, Plant Club, Spanish Club, Key Club, Future Business Leaders of America, National Honor Society, and is the class president for the graduating class of 2026. Lainey volunteers her time with Omro Literacy and STEAM nights, concession stands for school events, 4K summer school, Shopping Day with Kids, and at the EAA.

Outside of school, Lainey enjoys taking care of her three dogs, working at a doggy daycare, as well as painting or drawing with oil pastels.

After graduation, she plans to attend college at Purdue or Madison, majoring in engineering.

Senior CAPP Speech students kicked off their semester with their first impromptu speech. Students selected unique items from a tub with objects such as: a paper cup, plush basketball, crazy headbands, a puppet, etc. They were then asked by Mrs. Miller, their instructor, to say how their object was like public speaking or communication. Creativity, laughs, and impressive answers were given by students and their partner.
This semester will consist of an introduction speech, persuasive speech, a special occasion speech, and several other presentations for the course.
