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! 🌟💪
Students in Mrs. Morse's World of Children class participated in mock Story Hour presentations geared toward reading to Preschoolers. They worked cooperatively in groups and chose a book with visuals, recited a fingerplay, and sang a song based upon a given theme.
Thank you to our Anchor Partners!

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.
