Students in Mrs. Morse's 7th Grade Family and Consumer Sciences class are talking about caring for Infants. They had the opportunity to take care of "Baby Macy" -- a baby simulator. They needed to figure out why she was crying and care for her accordingly.
In our 4K program, every activity is packed with purpose! We know that play isn’t just fun—it’s a critical part of learning.
When children engage in pretend play, they’re developing creativity, problem-solving skills, and the ability to express themselves.
Here’s what we learn:
🔠 Blocks - encourage pattern recognition, teamwork, and critical thinking.
💦 Water - teaches concepts like sinking, floating, and evaporation while strengthening coordination and introducing math fundamentals like volume and weight.
🔍 Exploring - sparks curiosity and helps kids observe textures, colors, and sizes while learning to group objects.
✏️ Drawing - teaches fine motor skills, self-expression, and creativity.
Most importantly, we learn that trying new things can be fun! We are proud to provide an environment that fosters these skills and supports each child’s academic journey!
Don’t miss out on the 2025-2026 4K program; registration will open soon!
Please share this post and tell others with 4K age level kids about the Omro 4K Program!
The sixth graders spent the day before holiday break experiencing some hands-on learning. They research how countries across the world celebrate the holidays, they used their STEM knowledge to build the tallest free standing Christmas tree out of spaghetti noodles, marshmallows, and tape, they used their creative talents to make ornaments, and they used their math knowledge to put together tangram designs.

Seasons Greetings! #BridgingBrighterSmiles wishes everyone happy holidays! Don’t forget to enroll at www.bridgingbrightersmiles.org to keep that smile bright this holiday season!
Middle school students recently visited the care centers in Omro to spread holiday cheer. As members of the Holiday Club they made snowmen jars to give to the care centers as table decorations, played carols and performed poems and readings for the residents. Students also took time with some residents to create a snowman craft together. All middle school students colored door decorations that were given to each facility in hopes of brightening their space. It was a special day for all involved.
The School District of Omro will have no school for students and teachers from December 23, 2024 through January 1, 2025.
We look forward to welcoming students back into the buildings on January 2!
