In Omro, 4K is a family affair! 💕
We believe learning starts with a strong partnership between school and home. That’s why our 4K program is packed with opportunities for families to get involved—think field trips, exciting family projects, and fun-filled Family Nights! 🎉
We know that family is the biggest influence in a child’s life, that’s why our mission is to create an experience where kids grow academically, socially, and emotionally, all through partnership! You’ll never have to worry about missing those big milestones, you’ll be with us every step of the way.
Do you have a little one as part of our current 4K? We’d love to hear your favorite part about it – drop it down below! 💬⬇️

National Have Fun at Work Day!
While our staff always has fun at work, today was filled with two extra splashes of fun for middle and high school staff.
~ Fox In A Pocket ~ A total of 8 fox heads were laminated and given to staff (3 middle school, 5 high school). Those staff members placed them in their pocket. Throughout the day, staff will be asking other staff if they have a fox in their pocket; if they do, it must be handed over. Any staff with a fox in their pocket at the end of the day can exchange it for a prize.
~ Find A Fox ~ There are mini fox figurines hidden throughout the building (12 for middle school, 20 for high school). When a figurine is found, staff can exchange it for a prize.
Special thanks goes to the organizers of this fun activity! This is one of many strategies that support a positive culture.

Congratulations to the sophomore class Top Readers (Lucy, Mackenzie, Dina, Bella, Sawyer, and Skyler).
These sophomores read the most books quarter two. Each day in Mrs. Miller's English 10 classes, students begin the class by reading from books they have chosen. Also, any spare time students are not working on classwork, they are able to read.
Battle of the Books is a voluntary reading incentive program for students in third through twelfth grade. Students form teams and then, usually, divide up a predetermined list of books to read. From there, they come together for competitions during the school day to determine which groups have the strongest understanding of the books.
This week, the four remaining 4th grade and four remaining 5th grade Battle of the Books teams battled it out in the 2nd round of competition. The top four teams are moving on to next week's elimination round. Congratulations to "Dream Big" (Psyla, Li'Onna, and Addy) for being the top scoring team this round!
Music classes from elementary school to high school don’t just create musicians—they develop well-rounded individuals ready for the future! We see the arts as so much more than just classes—they’re a chance for kids to take a break from the standard academics, grow, and explore passions they didn’t even know they had. 🎼✨
🎤 How Music Transforms Students:
~ Boosts Academic Performance: Students in music programs often excel in math, reading, and problem-solving.
~ Builds Confidence: Performing on stage or in a group helps students conquer fear and embrace leadership.
~ Encourages Discipline: Practice and dedication in music translate into success in every aspect of life.
Our music department truly sets our kids up with endless opportunities. Whether it’s becoming a music teacher, performer, sound designer, audio technician, or even a film score composer, music education opens doors to creative and fulfilling careers!
4K learners are developingtheir math understanding through the creation of symmetrical snowflakes. When they were done, they lined up to make a pattern with their creations. Great job to our young mathematicians!
4K students recently engaged in a Directed Drawing activity! While our learners loved the process and seeing the end result, our staff knows just how much a Directed Drawing activity benefits everyone, including sequencing, strategizing (planning ahead to ensure there is enough space for a complete drawing), and strengthening (of fine motor skills), the benefits are many!
Working with a small group enables each artist and their creation to be celebrated!
Congratulations to our Dance team who qualified for State in Pom and Kick! In addition, Kira qualified for All-State. Best wishes for a great State experience this Friday!
Omro High School selects a senior student each month to be the Student of the Month. Seniors are selected for their academic successes, leadership abilities, citizenship, and extracurricular activities. The seniors who are selected for this honor are also invited to attend an American Legion meeting for recognition by the sponsoring organization and may go on the ballot to be a graduation speaker.
The January Student of the Month is Madelynn.
Throughout high school, Madelynn has been involved in Volleyball, Powerlifting, Softball, Sources of Strength, National Honor Society, FFA, and 4-H. She can also be found managing the high school wrestling team during the winter sports season, or working as a camp counselor for 4-H over the summer..
Outside of school, Madelynn enjoys reading, showing animals, and photography.
After graduation, she plans to attend UW-Stevens Point and major in Health Science and Wellness.
