Have you seen what the FabLab and Art Department has been up to lately?
Mr. Turner and Mrs. Benbo, along with their students, designed and developed a Fox mold. Once created, it was then painted by an Omro graduate to create this one-of-kind Fox that is proudly displayed in the OMS/OHS office.
Stay tuned for other exciting posts featuring the Omro FabLab!
On Tuesday, November 19, Omro Middle School took time out of the school day to recognize the accomplishments of 171 middle school students. At the end of each quarter, OMS teachers and staff plan a quarter awards ceremony, which acknowledges students academic and life and career skills achievements, as well as those who participate in extracurricular activities.
During the first quarter, 171 different students were recognized, some of them even being recognized multiple times. 123 students participated in extracurricular activities, with 100% of those students maintaining their academic eligibility for participation in the next season. Additionally, over 65% of our students achieved a 3.0 GPA or better during the first quarter.
Students pictured, selected randomly from those that earned all 3s in all courses for Life and Career Skills, went away with a Culver's gift card in honor of their accomplishments. One student, Wesley, was a recipient and is not pictured.
Congratulations to all of the students who were recognized!

Youth Apprenticeship (YA) is a 1- or 2-year program that gives juniors and seniors in high school the chance to explore a career area of interest. Students spend part of their school day earning credit and wages while they gain valuable industry experience under the guidance of a local business mentor. 🌟
Employers are also encouraged to engage in ongoing conversations with the students regarding the potential for ongoing employment and post-secondary education recommendations tied to the careers that they were exposed to.
Every Youth Apprentice student that successfully completes the career path program requirements will earn an Occupational Skills Proficiency Certification. This certification verifies that they have gained the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to be successful in their chosen industry within the state of Wisconsin.

Did you know that the School District of Omro offers a wide variety of classes that provide both High School and Postsecondary credit?
Omro students have the opportunity to enroll in dual-credit courses - CAPP, AP, and/or FVTC courses. These options give our Omro students a strong educational foundation as they prepare for 2-year or 4-year colleges.
By acquiring post-secondary credits while in High School, our students could also save time and money when they move on to college.
Are you interested in learning more about our CAPP, AP, and FVTC course offerings? Check out our Curriculum and Instruction website for more information (omro.k12.wi.us/page/curriculum-instruction).
