Thursday before winter break the Omro High School Book Club hosted the Mistletoe Mystery Book Exchange. Just like "Blind Date with a Book", the titles and authors were kept a secret and only a few clues were given on the wrapping paper. These books are for students to keep and enjoy over winter break. The High School Book Club hopes you had Happy Holidays!

Students in Mrs. Morse's World of Children class spent some time making homemade toys using ingredients and supplies found around your home. They made finger paints, flubber, noodle necklaces, Kool-Aid clay, and watercolors. They spent the next day "playing' with their toys and made connections to how children use toys to learn physical, intellectual, emotional, and social skills.
Wishing everyone a wonderful winter break! There will be no school from 12/25/23 through 01/02/24. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our buildings on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

Students in Mrs. Morse's Food for Life class participated in the Build a Burger Contest as part of their nutrient unit on Proteins. Students worked cooperatively to create a recipe, prepare it, construct a poster, and present their new idea to a group of judges. The "Obvious Choice" earned top honors created by Eli, Leyna, and Jonah. Their recipe was a slider served on a Hawaiian roll consisting of a seasoned beef patty, crispy bacon, fried onions, cheddar cheeses, and topped with a secret sauce. Congratulations to all!
