On Saturday May 3, Key Club and National Honor Society members participated in their spring highway cleanup. It’s awesome to see how much fun the kids had cleaning up our community!
As they prepare to graduate this year, Sadie and Caleb are already standing out—not just for where they’re going next, but for what sparked their passion: The Omro Fab Lab
Led by the guidance and innovation of Mr. Turner, the Fab Lab gave both students a place to explore, experiment, and discover new paths for their future. 🙌🏻
🔬 Sadie came in dreaming of becoming a Forensic Scientist. But after taking the Engineering course, she’s now headed toward a future in Civil Engineering with an Environmental focus. Her words say it all: “Omro Fab Lab is the ONLY reason I am going into engineering.”
🔧 Caleb has always loved building and creating. Thanks to the 3D printers and hands-on projects, he’s been able to bring his ideas to life—especially for his work as a mechanic. “People don’t know what they are looking for until they come into the Omro Fab Lab,” he says, reflecting on how the space opens minds to careers students may never have considered.
Two different paths. One powerful launchpad. That’s what makes the Omro Fab Lab so special.
Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more stories of how Mr. Turner’s Fab Lab is shaping students’ futures, one project at a time.

In recognition of Earth Day, Omro High School Biology students picked up litter on campus throughout our sport fields, woods, and arboretum. They focused on looking for items that can easily be overlooked, referencing the size of a dollar bill and looking for items smaller than it. The group found many plastic bottle caps, plastic zip ties, and candy and snack wrappers. Over the course of the afternoon, over 15 bags of plastic garbage were picked up. These proud Foxes are striving to keep our community clean!
24 of OHS’s mathletes competed at the UWO problem solving competition on April 17, 2025. Highlights from the day include an individual test, team test, interactive games and puzzles, campus exploration, and lunch at Blackhawk commons.

On April 29 the 8th Grade participated in a financial literacy simulation called Finance Park at the Community First Credit Union Financial Literacy & Career Exploration Center on the Fox Valley Technical College Campus. Students had the opportunity to build a budget based on a randomly assigned fictional financial situation including income, credit score, marital status, and family status. After building their budget in the Budgeting Phase they then went through a Shopping Phase in which they put their budgets to the test to see if they were able to effectively manage their finances, live within their means, and spend within their budget. Students also had to navigate unexpected incomes and expenses that they weren't expecting and update/modify their budget accordingly.
This is one component of how we develop students who are financially literate.

Students in Mrs. Morse's Food for Life class participated in the Build a Burger Contest as part of their nutrient unit on Proteins. Students worked cooperatively to create a recipe, prepare it, construct a poster with a nutrition facts label, and present it to a group of judges.
The "Glazed and Confused" Burger earned top honors created by Ally, Bella, Gavin, and Brooklyn. This novel burger consisted of a seasoned patty topped with caramelized onions and bacon, served on a glazed donut drizzled with syrup and crushed sweet potato chips.

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.
If you have a background in AI or coding and would like to learn more about what we are offering here in our district please contact rturn@omrok12.wi.us. We are always looking for new student involvement and donations of time and resources from experts.
