Fab Lab Receives $7,000 grant from Alliant Energy Foundation The School District of Omro received a $7,000 grant from the Alliant Energy Foundation to support their STEAM Fab Lab initiatives. This grant will help continue supporting their High School Fab Lab and their K-5 outreach. “The focus of these funds will expand the robotics capabilities of our Elementary students and add additional tools to the High School Fab Lab,” said Rob Turner, Fab Lab Director. “It will teach students the basics of coding starting in Kindergarten and how AI can be integrated into robotics and other automated processes at the 9-12 grade levels. This is a great opportunity for our new STEAM integrator in the Elementary, Kyle Schulz, to expand the learning process to our K-5 students and align them with what we are working on in the High School.” The Alliant Energy Foundation is committed to making a positive difference in the communities where Alliant Energy employees, retirees and customers live and work. The Foundation, which is funded solely by Alliant Energy shareowners, seeks to further the corporation’s goal of being a good corporate citizen and contributing member of society. Since 1998, the Foundation has contributed more than $62 million to innovative projects and local nonprofits. For more information, visit alliantenergy.com/foundation.

CAPP Speech students from Mrs. Miller's UWO speech course created unique products in class while working on small group communication. Together, each group had to create a product, name it, explain how it worked, and sell it to the rest of the class. Students found many random items in a box that they needed to use to create something that members of the class could use. Such creativity and fun!

Omro Elementary School hosted an all school assembly on Friday, April 11, 2025, to help students get excited to "Rock the Test" the following week. Every year, students across Wisconsin engage in standardized testing, whether it is the Wisconsin Forward, the Pre-ACT Secure, or the ACT. In Omro, staff thoughtfully and intentionally plan the testing process to put students in a position of success. Details include reviewing various testing tools, considering time of day and testing locations, smooth experiences using technology, and ensuring our students know how much we believe in them as individuals and learners. For the 2025 school year, Omro Elementary added an additional layer to their test preparation by planning "Rock the Test" activities leading up to the assessment as well as an assembly the Friday before their testing sessions began. During the assembly, the high school pep band and dance team performances "boosted" the energy, connecting our older students to our younger ones. There were staff members that dressed up in costumes and an appearance by Freddy the Fox. In addition, Grade 2 students, who do not participate in the WI Forward assessment, made signs to show their support for students in grades 3 through 5. The District recognizes that test preparation is ongoing and happens throughout every learning experience during the school year; the best preparation is done through high quality instruction and learning. These "Rock the Test" additions are just that; additions to support student success, whether it is having a "pet rock" that students painted on their desk, notes of encouragement from family members to students, or an assembly, our students know we believe in them. #FoxPride #RockTheTest
