Health and physical education aren’t just boxes to check—they’re a journey that starts in kindergarten and grows with students all the way through graduation.
Whether it’s nutrition, mental wellness, decision-making, strength training, agility, or hands-on CPR training – we’re confident that every base is covered!
In the early years, it’s all about having fun—running, jumping, playing games, and learning how to move with confidence. 🛝🏃🏻♀️
As students move into middle school and high school, their experience expands beyond just movement. They learn the importance of teamwork 🫱🏻🫲🏻, how to set personal fitness goals 🥇, and what it really means to lead a healthy life 🥕.
By junior and senior year, students can choose from specialized courses, exploring everything from weightlifting and competitive team sports to activities like archery, frisbee golf, and table tennis. We want to help them find physical activities they actually enjoy—ones they can carry with them beyond high school. 🏋🏻
Prioritizing health isn’t just for class—it’s for life!
On Monday 2/24, Key Club hosted their 2nd Annual Half Time Heart Toss!
Hearts could be purchased for $1 and then at half time all the hearts were thrown onto the court. Anyone’s whose heart landed on the Fox head won a prize, which were donated by the American Heart Association.
Thank you to all who participated! Between the hearts and concessions, almost $250 was raised for the American Heart Association!
The School District of Omro will be conducting a three-year-old developmental screening on Monday, March 10, 2025, at HB Patch Elementary from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for children who were born between October 22, 2021 and March 10, 2022 and currently reside within the School District of Omro boundaries. The screening is offered bi-annually to look at the areas of fine and gross motor skills, basic school readiness skills, speech sound production and communication. If a child is found to have significant delays after being further evaluated, programming such as the Early Childhood program or Speech and Language therapy may be recommended.
A letter and questionnaire about children’s development were sent to parents of children who are on the district's census list and within the screening age. Staff may request that a parent make an appointment on March 10 for their child based on the results of the questionnaire. Appointments are needed to attend the screening. If you do not receive a letter and ASQ-3 questionnaire for your child by February 3, please contact Jaime Ellison at (920) 303-2317. Alternatively, you can complete the ASQ-3 questionnaire online at https://www.asqonline.com/family/5b4d1d or by scanning the QR code below (you do not need to complete the ASQ:SE-2).
Please note that we do not screen children who do not currently reside within the School District of Omro boundaries, even if you intend to apply for open enrollment for your child or move to Omro in the future. Contact your current district of residence to inquire about their screening process.
These four fifth-grade boys just completed the state test for Battle of the Books! They won the competition for Omro Elementary School and went on to compete at the State level. They will be rewarded with a field trip consisting of a visit to Barnes and Noble, lunch at Pizza Ranch, and a movie at the theatre. All participants from both fourth and fifth grade will get to join in for a pizza party in March.
Great job Hayden, Chuck, Nolan and Emerson!

In Mrs. Miller's CAPP Speech class, students were tasked with introducing a classmate using a prop as a metaphor. One student's speech utilized a (fake) barbell, which led to many students doing some "heavy lifting."
In our school district, art isn’t just another class to fill a student’s course load—it’s a journey that starts in kindergarten and grows with them all the way through graduation. 🎨 What starts as finger painting and little doodles quickly turns into mastering ceramics, sculpture, painting, photography, and even glass creations in high school.
We know that every student deserves a way to express themselves, and that’s why our art programs are designed intentionally and purposefully to give kids the space to explore, experiment, and find what they love. ❤️
Whether they go on to pursue an artistic path or just carry these creative outlets into their everyday lives, we want every student to see the value in the arts, reminding them that creating is just as important as learning. ✨
OHS Biology students investigated the effect of exercise on rates of cellular respiration. They had fun doing vigorous exercise and then measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in their breath. Students sprinted in the hallway, did jumping jacks, and even danced to get their heart rate up.
On Monday, February 17, many of our staff participated in a professional learning event, located at the Oshkosh Convention Center, and organized by CESA 6. As teachers from across the region entered the event, they were greeted with music played by members of our OHS band and conducted by Wendy Fisher.
The performance was excellent; thank you to Tyler, Connor, Kayannah, Scarlett, Katie, Vinny, Erick, and Abby for getting up early on a day off of school to share your talents.
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 February Student of the Month is Keefer.
Throughout high school, Keefer has been involved in Football, Powerlifting, Track, Boy Scouts, Order of the Arrow, and National Eagle Scout Association. He can also be found volunteering at middle school track meets, helping with and completing his own Eagle Scout projects, and supporting Powerlifting meets he is not competing in.
Outside of school, Keefer enjoys football, powerlifting, history, Boy Scouts, hunting, fishing, and trapping.
After graduation, he plans to attend UW-Oshkosh and major in Secondary Education with a minor in History, emphasizing Political Science, Psychology, and Geography.
Congratulations to our Fox Paw winners from H.B. Patch and OES for the week ending on February 21 , 2025. Thanks for exemplifying the Fox Four of being safe, responsible, respectful, and positive!
