Tomatoes from Space
Omro High School Plant Club collected data for the Tomatosphere Project. We were sent two packets of tomato seeds: one contained seeds that spent two months on the international space station and the other contained normal, earth-bound seeds. We germinated both types of seeds and sent the results (germination rates) back to project scientists. Tomatosphere seeks to gather data on the effects of space travel on seeds. Plant club members will be able to take home the tomato plants for their own gardens. Omro Foxes are proud to contribute to scientific research.
4K recently hosted their annual "Block Party" event! This was our April Family Fun Night. Students brought their parents and siblings, and came together for dinner first, and then spent time building and creating. We had stations all around the gym, and provided the blocks, from the tiniest connectors and legos, to wooden blocks, to brick blocks, to huge waffle blocks. The families made houses and castles, towers, zoos and parks, played stacking games, and tried to make their blocks balance.
Rocky Rococo is calling your name!
Take a night off of cooking on Thursday 5/22 and support Omro HS Book Club!

CANCELATION: Elementary Spring Concert
The Elementary Spring Concert, with planned performances from grades 1, 3, and 5, on Thursday, May 15, 2025, has been CANCELED due to inclement weather.
For the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to introduce/share about as many staff members as possible, as everyone has an integral role in our school community.
Staff were asked to share about themselves using a "6 word summary." Read on to learn a bit more about Academic Support and EL/ML staff!
On Friday, May 9, Key Club hosted their final blood drive of the school year.
We are excited that we met our goal of over 100 pints donated, which provides an opportunity to recognize a graduating senior with a scholarship.
Many thanks to the Red Cross for all their help and support! Additionally, thank you to all community and student donors for making this possible and helping save lives!
Watch for an announcement for the date of our July blood drive.
A small group of students from both seventh and eighth grade recently spent a school day on the campus of UW-Oshkosh. While there, they engaged in activities through the UWO Math Problem Solving Contest. The morning began with an individual and team contest, followed by lunch and various sessions that students could attend. Our middle school students represented Omro well in the Quiz bowl and throughout the day!
In grade 6 art, students have been creating finger weaving projects. As an extension, some students have enjoyed learning how to make pom poms and adding them to their projects.
Students in Mrs. Morse's Advanced Culinary Arts class are in the middle of their Bake Shop Unit. To learn more about cakes and decorating, they participated in a Cupcake Wars Competition. Based upon each team's chosen theme, they baked and decorated 12 cupcakes to set on a self-created display. Each display was judged by OHS Staff. The team earning the honor of "Cupcake Wars Champions" were the team of Bella, Maya, and Shayli who created "Surfside Sweets"-- vanilla cupcake filled with Smores flavors and topped with vanilla buttercream frosting.
Tomorrow Night is the Night to enjoy some Sweet Jazz!
This event will showcase our vocal and instrumental jazz musicians. In addition, attendees will be able to enjoy a treat made by our Advanced Culinary Art students.
