High school students in Mrs. Morse's Culinary Arts class just recently completed a unit on Garnishing. They used a variety of produce, tools, and their creativity to create a unique plate presentation.
Thriving Together Thursday:
A month of planning, a 12 hour shift, and 20,000 steps later...."10 Buckaroos"-- was open for business on Wednesday, November 5. 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 Dina, Host Blake, Waitstaff Jayden, Carson, and Vanessa--- decorated the dining room, set the tables, and served the customers. The Back of the House Staff-- Head Chef Dylan and Assistant Chefs Cole, Jazmyn, Walker and Nate-- chose the menu and prepared the food.
The class served over 70 guests for lunch and dinner. The menu consisted of: Buckaroo Burgers, Pulled Pork, and Loaded Mac and Cheese, with an optional side of Ham and Cheese Pasta Salad. Desserts included warm Apple Crisp and Brownie Sundaes.
"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

Thank you to Omro High School drivers! 97% of OHS student drivers and passengers wore seatbelts on November 7, 2025 as the SADD group, along with OHS staff, sponsored the "Buckle Up Campaign".
As students entered the parking lot, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decision) members along with administrative staff polled the students. Students may have received a free drink from Kwik Trip or slip stating, "Next time you hop into the car, remember to buckle up! It's the law and yoru ticket to a safer ride."
Some safe driving/seatbelt facts:
~ In Wisconsin, both drivers and passengers can be fined for not wearing seat belts
~ 15,000 lives are saved every year by seat belts (NHTSA)
~ Ensure your seatbelt is fitted properly. The shoulder belt should be across your chest, not your neck, and the lap belt should be on your hips, not your stomach.

Students in the World of Children class recently participated in Infant Care Stations. They had the chance to hold an infant, practice reading a book, diaper/dress an infant, and practice their use of gross and fine motor skills.
Conference Math Meet
Omro High School recently hosted and participated in the Cnference Math Meet. OHS had two teams compete, placing second and sixth out of eleven teams. In addition, Omro had several individual award winners, with Sawyer and Ethyn earning Second Team All Conference and Orion, Vincent, Addie, and Lexi earning Honorable Mention All Conference. Congratulations!
The math meet consists of students taking four individual 15-minute tests followed by a team test that takes 20 minutes. Team scores are built from all individual scores and the team test score. Individual scores are the sum of all of their individual scores and are compared amongst all of the students' scores.
It was great to have so many students willing to engage in mathematics on a Monday evening!
Business students attended Green & Gold Career Day at Lambeau Field on October 30. Students were able to take a stadium tour, visit the Hall of Fame, and attend breakout sessions regarding different aspects of Green Bay Packer business operations.
