We had another successful 4k Family Fun Night last week, where families came together for dinner and activities.
The theme of our event was "Anything Can Be A Game". We showed families how to use everyday household items like boxes, toilet paper tubes, socks, post-it notes, and paper plates to make fun games to play.
Some of the game stations included:
** Marble runs out of box lids and paper plates
** Ring toss with paper plates and paper towel tubes
** Skee Ball game with an old TV box, balls, and a laundry basket
** Bowling with rolled up socks to knock down empty water bottles or toilet paper tubes
** Keepy-uppy with balloons, and paddles made from paint sticks and paper plates, and fly swatters!
** Tossing games with hula hoops, ice cream pails, baseball hats, and garbage cans for targets.

Our local American Legion Post 234 hosted their annual oratorical contest on Saturday, January 30. Students prepare and present a memorized, 8-10 minute speech on a topic related to The Constitution. Omro High School
had two contestants competing, Macayla who wrote a speech about women's rights and Erick presented his speech about patriotism. Both had outstanding speeches, but only one can go on to the next level.
Macayla took second and Erick took first place and will go on to compete at the next level on February 14. Not only will he present his 8-10 minute speech, but he must also prepare four other short speeches on four Amendments that were chosen for this year. At random, after presenting his main speech, one of the four amendments will be drawn and he must speak 3 to 5 minutes on that Amendment.
Congratulations to these two hardworking students for their participation! And, congratulations to Erick for moving on in this competition.

Winnebago County Sheriff's Office recently used social media to remind communities about school bus safety while driving, and we thought it would be a good idea to help that communication.
A few reminders:
~ drivers must stop when they see flashing red warning lights on a school bus
~ vehicles may not proceed until the bus begins moving and the red warning lights are turned off
~ extended stop sign arms are an additional communication; however, all vehicles must stop, whether the stop sign arm is extended or not, if the red warning lights are flashing
Adhering to these guidelines helps to keep everyone safe.
