Omro High School

STUDENT OF THE MONTH
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 Lainey.

Throughout high school, Lainey has been involved with volleyball and softball. Additionally, Lainey is an active member of Sources of Strength, Book Club, Plant Club, Spanish Club, Key Club, Future Business Leaders of America, National Honor Society, and is the class president for the graduating class of 2026. Lainey volunteers her time with Omro Literacy and STEAM nights, concession stands for school events, 4K summer school, Shopping Day with Kids, and at the EAA.

Outside of school, Lainey enjoys taking care of her three dogs, working at a doggy daycare, as well as painting or drawing with oil pastels.

After graduation, she plans to attend college at Purdue or Madison, majoring in engineering.

On Wednesday, January 21, eleven Omro High School Band members were selected to participate in the biannual Flyway Conference Honors Band at Horace Mann High School in North Fond du Lac. The Honors band consisted of 75 students across the conference. Under the Direction of Dr. Devin Otto, Director of Bands, UW-Oshkosh, students worked from 9am until 4pm rehearsing for the first time together to later perform an evening concert that day. Bravo, students!

Senior CAPP Speech students kicked off their semester with their first impromptu speech. Students selected unique items from a tub with objects such as: a paper cup, plush basketball, crazy headbands, a puppet, etc. They were then asked by Mrs. Miller, their instructor, to say how their object was like public speaking or communication. Creativity, laughs, and impressive answers were given by students and their partner.
This semester will consist of an introduction speech, persuasive speech, a special occasion speech, and several other presentations for the course.

Sophomores in Mrs. Miller's English classes are now beginning their short story unit. They will be identifying, discussing , and explaining short story elements in several short stories they will read in class together.

Students, during a Fox Time, created a bulletin board showing off several literary devices.

Students in Mrs. Morse's World of Children course concluded their class by creating Preschool Lesson Plans. They were given a scenario and theme to follow. Their task was to develop a lesson plan that they would present to a group of preschool children that would include reading a book, singing a song/fingerplay, choosing developmentally appropriate toys, constructing an art project and creating some nutritional snacks.
