Art classes in the School District of Omro aren’t just electives—they’re opportunities! Starting in elementary school, continuing through middle school, and thriving in high school, art education gives students the tools to succeed both personally and professionally.
Here’s how art benefits students:
🌱 Personal Growth:
~ Boosts confidence and self-esteem
~ Encourages emotional expression and stress relief
~ Builds critical thinking and adaptability
~ Helps improve focus and academic performance
💼 Future Careers Possibilities:
~ Graphic Designers, Illustrators, and Animators
~ Architects and Interior Designers
~ Art Directors and Museum Curators
~ Videographers, Game Designers, and beyond!
Art education is a stepping stone to limitless possibilities. Have a child who loves our art program? We’d love to hear about it! Drop your thoughts down below in the comments and let’s celebrate such amazing opportunities for these kids! 🎨

In our 4K program, every activity is packed with purpose! We know that play isn’t just fun—it’s a critical part of learning.
When children engage in pretend play, they’re developing creativity, problem-solving skills, and the ability to express themselves.
Here’s what we learn:
🔠 Blocks - encourage pattern recognition, teamwork, and critical thinking.
💦 Water - teaches concepts like sinking, floating, and evaporation while strengthening coordination and introducing math fundamentals like volume and weight.
🔍 Exploring - sparks curiosity and helps kids observe textures, colors, and sizes while learning to group objects.
✏️ Drawing - teaches fine motor skills, self-expression, and creativity.
Most importantly, we learn that trying new things can be fun! We are proud to provide an environment that fosters these skills and supports each child’s academic journey!
Don’t miss out on the 2025-2026 4K program; registration will open soon!

Attention!
The School District of Omro is CANCELING all AFTER SCHOOL activities for December 19, 2024. This includes community events that use our facilities.
What is the Omro Key Club, and Why Are 96 Students All In for 2024-2025?
The Omro Key Club isn’t just a club—it’s a movement of young leaders making a difference! This year, 96 Omro High School students have joined forces to create a powerhouse of community service, passion, and teamwork. 🙌🏻
Why?
Because they know the value of stepping up and giving back!
Here are some of the things Omro Key Club sponsors/supports:
🩸 Blood drives (in partnership with the Red Cross)
❤️🩹Heart disease awareness / volleyball tournament and money donation to the American Heart Association
🗑️ Co sponsors 2-3 highway cleanups a year with the National Honor Society (NHS)
📚 Some Key Club members are tutors!
📍 Help with a variety of local events, such as - OACCM halloween spooktacular, breakfast with Santa, breakfast with the bunny, Waukau chicken BBQ, and much more!
Key Club members dive into each opportunity with heart and enthusiasm!
By serving, these students gain so much in return. They discover how to tackle real-world challenges, create meaningful change, and grow into confident, compassionate leaders. Plus, research backs it up—students who dedicate time to service often perform better in school. It’s a win-win!
And let’s not forget the leadership skills! Whether leading a service project, planning a social event, or taking part in club functions, every activity builds their ability to inspire, organize, and create lasting impact.
Stay tuned for updates as we shine a spotlight on the incredible community service projects these inspiring Omro students are taking on this year.
Together, they’re proving that teamwork, service, and dedication can make the world a better place—one project at a time! 🌟💪
Congratulations to our Fox Paw winners from H.B. Patch and OES for the week ending on December 13, 2024. Thanks for exemplifying the Fox Four of being safe, responsible, respectful, and positive!

Shopping Day with Kids has a primary purpose of providing a memorable Christmas to children in our community who would otherwise not be getting much for Christmas. Every year, the 1st Saturday in December, a group of chaperones (mostly Omro High School students and a few Omro Staff) take approximately 30-60 children, grades 4k through five, shopping for themselves for clothing, toys and other items of their choice with money provided by donations to our group from the community. We start our day with a donated breakfast at Omro Elementary School while the students get to know their shopping buddy. Then we load buses for the shopping trip to Oshkosh. The group shops for one hour, then returns to school where all the gifts are wrapped and labeled and then a donated lunch is served.
