Students in Mrs. Morse's Food for Life class participated in a Burger Contest as part of their nutrient unit on Proteins. Students worked cooperatively to create a recipe, prepare it, construct a poster, and present their new idea to a group of judges. The "Messed Up Burger" earned top honors created by Tucker, Julee, Nick, and with the help of Mrs. C. Their recipe was a well-seasoned patty, topped with bacon, lettuce, relish, and mayo/Thousand Island dressing on a toasted bun. Congratulations to all!
The Sources of Strength Peer Leaders gathered to celebrate the end of another successful year by enjoying a spread of treats catered by the Adult Advisors. Sources of Strength is a student driven program that focuses on uniting the high school to build a culture of hope, positivity, health, and strength.
Students in Mrs. Morse's 7th Grade Family and Consumer Sciences class have recently begun their mini unit on Child Development. As part of learning about Infants and how to care for them, students had the opportunity to take care of "Baby Macy"-- an Infant Simulator. When the baby cried, the students had to come care for her and figure out why she was crying.
Tonight, May 15, is the night! Enjoy an evening of jazz music by the OHS Jazz Band, as well as a dessert and beverage created by the OHS Advanced Culinary Arts class during this year's Sweet Jazz event. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in advance or at the door. We hope to see you at 6:00 pm in the OHS Cafeteria.
OHS Student of the Month for April is Andrew.
Throughout high school, Andrew has been a part of soccer, basketball, track, National Honor Society, Key Club, Sources of Strength, and Student Athlete Leadership Team.

He has also Trick or Treated for canned goods for the food pantry, helped to set up and run the Spooktacular Halloween event, and is an usher at Grace Lutheran Church. You may have also seen Andrew volunteering his time at other church and school related events, including making and serving food at Easter breakfast.

After graduation, he plans to attend Concordia University of Wisconsin and major in Chemical Engineering.
Wednesday, May 8th Omro Middle School and High School Students participated in National Bike to School Day. There were snacks and chances to win prizes for all who walked or biked to school that day. At the end of the day, students were encouraged to stop by the Omro Community Bike Shoppe where the fun continued. Students rode their bikes and completed a scavenger hunt on the school grounds. When they were done, students blended up some tasty lemonade slushies with our human-powered bike blender. To finish off the afternoon, students participated in a turtle bike race (the slowest person won) and more prizes were handed out.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this event and our friends at Eastern Wisconsin Safe Routes to School!

At the end of February, Middle School and High Students had the chance to participate in a March Madness style game for this year's Family Literacy Night. Students filled in a bracket of which book they thought would move on to ultimately be chosen as the school's favorite.

At the end of February, Liam, Kayannah, and Sadie represented Omro High School in the Final State Test for Battle of the Books. They placed 18th out of 61 teams in the state! To celebrate their hard work this season, they were joined by our Book Club Seniors for a day of celebration and love of literacy.
On the field trip they visited a Little Free Library in Omro to restock with books. After sharing some new stories with residents in Omro they went to Barnes and Noble where they picked out new books for our school library. They finished off the day with lunch and a movie. Great job this Battle of the Books Season Liam, Kayannah and Sadie and best wishes to our Book Club Seniors!
