Fab Lab Receives $7,000 grant from Alliant Energy Foundation
The School District of Omro received a $7,000 grant from the Alliant Energy Foundation to support their STEAM Fab Lab initiatives. This grant will help continue supporting their High School Fab Lab and their K-5 outreach.
“The focus of these funds will expand the robotics capabilities of our Elementary students and add additional tools to the High School Fab Lab,” said Rob Turner, Fab Lab Director. “It will teach students the basics of coding starting in Kindergarten and how AI can be integrated into robotics and other automated processes at the 9-12 grade levels. This is a great opportunity for our new STEAM integrator in the Elementary, Kyle Schulz, to expand the learning process to our K-5 students and align them with what we are working on in the High School.”
The Alliant Energy Foundation is committed to making a positive difference in the communities where Alliant Energy employees, retirees and customers live and work. The Foundation, which is funded solely by Alliant Energy shareowners, seeks to further the corporation’s goal of being a good corporate citizen and contributing member of society. Since 1998, the Foundation has contributed more than $62 million to innovative projects and local nonprofits. For more information, visit alliantenergy.com/foundation.
If you have a background in AI or coding and would like to learn more about what we are offering here in our district please contact rturn@omrok12.wi.us. We are always looking for new student involvement and donations of time and resources from experts.

CAPP Speech students from Mrs. Miller's UWO speech course created unique products in class while working on small group communication. Together, each group had to create a product, name it, explain how it worked, and sell it to the rest of the class. Students found many random items in a box that they needed to use to create something that members of the class could use. Such creativity and fun!
On Friday April 11th, representatives from the Omro High School Sources of Strength program went to the Mental Wellness Student Leadership Summit in Madison.

The sophomore class was busy creating "Me Posters" in Mrs. Miller's English 10 class. Students were to cut out pictures, words, and symbols of things they like and dislike. Once the entire poster was covered, students created a speech to present to the entire class.
Students are pictured here with their poster.
"Route 09" Diner-- 1950's theme mock restaurant-- was open for business on Thursday, April 10. This event served as a capstone project for the class and provided the students with a "real life" type of experience of working in the Restaurant and Food Service Industry.
Students in Mrs. Morse's Advanced Culinary Arts class applied for their roles and created this restaurant from the ground up. The Front of the House Staff-- Manager Bella, Hostess Maya, Waiterstaff Shayli, Jaxson, and Nic- decorated the dining room, set the tables, and served the customers. The Back of the House Staff-- Head Chef Ronnie and Assistant Chefs Haley, Jacob, and Logan chose the menu and prepared the food.
The class served over 70 guests for lunch and dinner. The menu consisted of: Breakfast Burger w/Fries, Club Sandwich w/Chips, Pancake Platter, Apple Pie Ala Mode, Cheesecake, and Milkshakes.
It was a memorable and enjoyable dining experience for our students, staff, and community. Thank you to all who came to dine and supported this class project.-- Mrs. Cindy Morse
