Two weeks until "Reading Takes You Places" takes over Omro Elementary from 5:30 to 7:30 pm on March 14. We are looking forward to seeing our district students and families at 2024's Omro Family Literacy Night!
Our 2024 Battle of the Books Teams from OES, OMS, and OHS represented the Omro School District in the Final State Test the last week of February. Results will be released the first week of March of how they placed among other schools throughout the state of Wisconsin. Great job teams!
Battle of the Books is a fun academic club that focuses on reading new or classic books and testing students' knowledge of what they read. The new list of 20 selected books is released in early June so students have a chance to read over the summer to prepare before the school year begins.
Any students in grades 4 - 12 can participate by forming a team of 2-4 members. Teams will battle each other by taking team tests on the books with the top team from each school moving on to represent Omro in the Final State Test. There will be a celebration for all participants in early Spring!

Winter Walk to School Month: Week 4 - Build a Snow Sculpture
Hmmm... that might be tricky this week. With temperatures being higher than normal and the lack of snow, the Week 4 challenge might look a little different.
Instead of building something out of snow, get outside for an "out of the ordinary for winter" activity. Play a round of frisbee golf, ride your bike, fly a kite, draw on your driveway with chalk, etc.
Prizes will be given out on Monday, March 4th. Students can watch their email to submit participation.
Did you know that cooler temperatures help you sleep better? Winter walking results in a more restful night's sleep.

Winter Walk to School Month: Week 3 - Scavenger Hunt
Go for a walk to find the items on the Scavenger Hunt list. Check them off once you see, hear, or feel the items on the list. Share your form with Mrs. Gee when you are done.
Did you know that cold weather has been shown to result in a meaningful energy boost that lasts for hours after you walk?
