Here in Omro, we believe early education is about more than academics—it’s about building confidence, enhancing social skills, and nurturing creativity. Our 4K program is something we are so proud of, and as a district, it’s our mission to create a supportive and engaging environment where children can truly thrive and grow as an individual. 🌱✨ With that, we understand that every child is unique, which is why our approach encourages children to work at their own pace while discovering new things. That’s why we use play-based learning combined with guided instruction to create an environment where children feel empowered to learn and grow. Who says learning can’t be fun? 👏🏻 Outside of the classroom, partnership with families is also at the heart of our 4K program. Parents are a child’s first and most important teachers, and we believe that by working together, we create a supportive network to guide your child on their academic journey. 📚❤️ Do you have a little one enrolled this year? We’d love to hear your favorite part of 4K here in Omro! Drop your answer in the comments down below! 💭

Shopping Day with Kids has a primary purpose of providing a memorable Christmas to children in our community who would otherwise not be getting much for Christmas. Every year, the 1st Saturday in December, a group of chaperones (mostly Omro High School students and a few Omro Staff) take approximately 30-60 children, grades 4k through five, shopping for themselves for clothing, toys and other items of their choice with money provided by donations to our group from the community. We start our day with a donated breakfast at Omro Elementary School while the students get to know their shopping buddy. Then we load buses for the shopping trip to Oshkosh. The group shops for one hour, then returns to school where all the gifts are wrapped and labeled and then a donated lunch is served.

AP Biology students did a Mystery Solution Lab in which they had to make model cells and use the principles of osmosis to determine the concentrations of various "mystery solutions". The cells were a challenge to make but students were able to solve the mystery using their biology know-how.

Balloons Over Broadway! Throughout the District, during the month of November, teachers used the same anchor text in very different ways! Kindergarten and 1st grade students at HB Patch learned about the tradition of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After listening to the story, Balloons over Broadway, a story that tells about a puppeteer and how his imagination invented the giant balloons that are now a part of the parade, students designed and made their own balloons. After they finished their creations, students paraded through the halls of Patch for all to see! Over at OES, grade 5 began their unit by engaging in an interactive read aloud of "Baloons Over Broadway" and watching part of the 2023 Macy's Day Parade. Over the course of two weeks students used online and printed resources to research the history of the Macy's Day Parade, as well as history/information on a specific balloon that has been featured in the parade at any point from 1924 to 2023. 5th grade students turned their research into an informative essay which they took through the writing process. After their writing pieces were complete they designed and created a "flat stanley" model of the balloon they focused their research on.

Have you seen what the FabLab and Art Department has been up to lately? Mr. Turner and Mrs. Benbo, along with their students, designed and developed a Fox mold. Once created, it was then painted by an Omro graduate to create this one-of-kind Fox that is proudly displayed in the OMS/OHS office. Stay tuned for other exciting posts featuring the Omro FabLab!

On Tuesday, November 19, Omro Middle School took time out of the school day to recognize the accomplishments of 171 middle school students. At the end of each quarter, OMS teachers and staff plan a quarter awards ceremony, which acknowledges students academic and life and career skills achievements, as well as those who participate in extracurricular activities. During the first quarter, 171 different students were recognized, some of them even being recognized multiple times. 123 students participated in extracurricular activities, with 100% of those students maintaining their academic eligibility for participation in the next season. Additionally, over 65% of our students achieved a 3.0 GPA or better during the first quarter. Students pictured, selected randomly from those that earned all 3s in all courses for Life and Career Skills, went away with a Culver's gift card in honor of their accomplishments. One student, Wesley, was a recipient and is not pictured. Congratulations to all of the students who were recognized!

On November 5th, students in 7th grade had the chance to investigate various career paths at Fox Valley Technical College. Some of the fields they explored included marketing, interior design, auto collision, forensic science, information technology, and criminal justice, among others. Later in the afternoon, they took part in a scavenger hunt designed to help them discover the various resources and features of the Oshkosh Public Library. It was a fun learning experience for all!
