Wednesday, May 8th Omro Middle School and High School Students participated in National Bike to School Day. There were snacks and chances to win prizes for all who walked or biked to school that day. At the end of the day, students were encouraged to stop by the Omro Community Bike Shoppe where the fun continued. Students rode their bikes and completed a scavenger hunt on the school grounds. When they were done, students blended up some tasty lemonade slushies with our human-powered bike blender. To finish off the afternoon, students participated in a turtle bike race (the slowest person won) and more prizes were handed out.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this event and our friends at Eastern Wisconsin Safe Routes to School!

Students filled in a bracket of which book they thought would move on to ultimately be chosen as the school's favorite.

This year we had 16 students select Allies as the winning book. Winners had their choice of a new book, bookmark and candy. Way to go Nolan, Ambra, Anna, Brooklyn, Riley, Donny, Nate, Grant, Ralphie, Tieng, Mason, Josh, Wes, Layla, Jillian, and Carson!

To celebrate their hard work this season, they were joined by our Book Club Seniors for a day of celebration and love of literacy.
On the field trip they visited a Little Free Library in Omro to restock with books. After sharing some new stories with residents in Omro they went to Barnes and Noble where they picked out new books for our school library. They finished off the day with lunch and a movie. Great job this Battle of the Books Season Liam, Kayannah and Sadie and best wishes to our Book Club Seniors!
