Congratulations to OMS and OHS Fox Friday winners from September 20, 2024! These students were nominated by staff members or other students for demonstrating the Fox Four (Safety, Responsibility, Respect, or Positivity).
Staff members were nominated by students or other staff members for being a role model, an advocate for students, or having a positive connection with students.



Students in Mrs. Hughes' grade 8 Science class were challenged to suspend one Dixie cup above their paper using 3 other cups and Popsicle sticks. Once they achieved that, they needed to add weights to the suspended cup and remove as many Popsicle sticks as possible. Edyn and Maranda were able to add 25 pennies to their cup using only 8 Popsicle sticks!

The Omro Wrestling team took fundraising into their own hands by working at Trillium Hill Dairy in Berlin. The fundraising opportunity is greatly appreciated by the team!









Omro Elementary and H.B. Patch have school pictures tomorrow (Thursday, September 19, 2024). Every student will get a picture taken, even if the family chooses to not order images.
The prepay link is below if you still need to order!

6th grade students in Mrs. Boeck's and Mrs. McKittrick's math class developed their communication skills through a series of challenges. One student from each team was tasked with analyzing how 10 blocks were arranged and then going back to their team and trying to describe how to arrange the 10 blocks. Each individual in class had an opportunity to be the person who analyzed a block structure and then described it to their team.
Following the activity, students identified communication strategies that supported the activity (hand gestures, word choice, non-verbal communication) that can apply to future activities in and outside of the classroom.
It was great to see the collaboration and communication in class!

Biology students start the year learning about their own brains. The brain is more likely to remember something if it elicits emotions, includes physical movement/sensations, and involves peer interactions. Students had fun with this memorable activity in which they use their own hand and arm to model a neuron (brain cell).





On Friday the Thirteenth, many Omro Middle School students experienced some extra luck.
During first hour, every student received a ticket with a six digit number. Throughout the course of the day, numbers were called over the loudspeaker (and emailed to all students) and those with matching numbers were invited to visit the middle school lunch room to select a prize.
Special thanks to the OMS Student Engagement team for organizing this event!

Great First Week of School!
The classrooms, hallways, dining areas, and outdoor spaces were full of students and staff enjoying one another and educational experiences. It's great to have the buildings full of smiles, laughter, creativity, and the overall energy that each individual brings to the space.
We are looking forward to a great year!
