Our 2024 Battle of the Books Teams from OES, OMS, and OHS represented the Omro School District in the Final State Test the last week of February. Results will be released the first week of March of how they placed among other schools throughout the state of Wisconsin. Great job teams!
Battle of the Books is a fun academic club that focuses on reading new or classic books and testing students' knowledge of what they read. The new list of 20 selected books is released in early June so students have a chance to read over the summer to prepare before the school year begins.
Any students in grades 4 - 12 can participate by forming a team of 2-4 members. Teams will battle each other by taking team tests on the books with the top team from each school moving on to represent Omro in the Final State Test. There will be a celebration for all participants in early Spring!

This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Mrs. Kari Sweeting. She is a grade 3 teacher at OES who has spent all 26 of her years of education here in Omro.
Kari enjoys reading, boating, exercising, and spending time with family.
When asked about a quote that resonates her, she shared, “If you don’t ask the question, you will never know the answer.”
Thank you, Mrs. Sweeting, for all you do for our students!
