On Tuesday, October 10, our OHS students had their first Fox Time with Griffin!
Lindsay Loewe, from Collaborative Wellness, will be hosting 6 Fox Times (one per week six weeks in a row) offering a variety of SEL activities.
This week, students participated in an activity that required teamwork and communication. After, Lindsay led a conversation about leadership and how to work through frustration.
The students also had some time to interact with Griffin, a Licensed Therapy Dog and K9 Good Citizen through the Fox Valley Humane Association.
This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Mr. Adam Nelson. He is a physical education teacher, supporting adaptive PE and elementary PE in grades 2-5. Adam is in his first year here in Omro, but sixth year in education.
Adam likes to spend time with friends and family, along with going hunting, camping, and golfing.
When asked what his favorite thing about working for the School District of Omro is, he replied, “It's home. I went to school here as a kid and now being back as a teacher is surreal.”
Thank you, Mr. Nelson, for all you do for our students!
Omro Middle School recognized Bully Prevention Month in October. We had great participation from students as staff as we all wore blue on Oct. 18th to stand together against bullying. The whole school also took part in creating a "No Place For Hate" mural that is hanging in the commons for all to see (shout-out to Allyson, Addison and Lucy for their talented artwork). In addition, we had Peer Leaders and Officer Peeters teach/review the SUSO (Speak Up Speak Out) reporting tool and Peer Leaders do a lunch check-in with 6th graders to help ensure everyone is making connections.

Earlier this month, second grade students in Mrs. Babcock's class were working on Unit 2 in Bridges math, which concentrates on place value to the hundreds and measurement. For the first lesson the students had to estimate how many beans are in a bag, then they decided to count groups of tens, then grouped tens into hundreds, with ones left over. Results are in the picture(s).
