Students in Mrs. Morse's Food, Family and Society classes spent a class period practicing the importance of following measuring rules and reviewing abbreviations/conversions found in recipes.
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.
Here in Omro, we believe early education is about more than academics—it’s about building confidence, enhancing social skills, and nurturing creativity. Our 4K program is something we are so proud of, and as a district, it’s our mission to create a supportive and engaging environment where children can truly thrive and grow as an individual. 🌱✨
With that, we understand that every child is unique, which is why our approach encourages children to work at their own pace while discovering new things. That’s why we use play-based learning combined with guided instruction to create an environment where children feel empowered to learn and grow. Who says learning can’t be fun? 👏🏻
Outside of the classroom, partnership with families is also at the heart of our 4K program. Parents are a child’s first and most important teachers, and we believe that by working together, we create a supportive network to guide your child on their academic journey. 📚❤️
Do you have a little one enrolled this year? We’d love to hear your favorite part of 4K here in Omro! Drop your answer in the comments down below! 💭
Creativity was on full display when students in Mrs. Morse's Food, Family and Society class created NEW food norms for our society-- creating a new food treat and/or tradition that does not already exist. Students created Gummy Bear Popsicles, 4th of July Spicy Pickle Chips, and Breakfast on a Stick.

Have you seen what the FabLab and Art Department has been up to lately?
Mr. Turner and Mrs. Benbo, along with their students, designed and developed a Fox mold. Once created, it was then painted by an Omro graduate to create this one-of-kind Fox that is proudly displayed in the OMS/OHS office.
Stay tuned for other exciting posts featuring the Omro FabLab!
