Grade 7 students in Ms. Murphy's science class demonstrated their cell knowledge through a poster or model of plant, animal, or bacteria cells. Providing voice and choice in how students demonstrate their learning is a key strategy for student engagement!

The day before winter break, sixth graders spent the day going through holiday rotation. They learned how Christmas is celebrated around the world, read about snowflakes and created holiday tessellations, made snow globe ornaments, and used their science knowledge to build the tallest Christmas tree out of spaghetti noodles and marshmallows.
The newsletter for the week ending on December 22, 2023, can be found at https://www.smore.com/yekdc

This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Miss Erica Birenbaum. She is a choir teacher at Omro Middle and High School. Erica is beginning her education career here in Omro!
Erica enjoys baking, hiking, camping, and singing (of course).
When asked what she enjoys about working for the School District of Omro, she said, “One of my favorite things about working in Omro is the sense of community and family throughout the school!”
Thank you, Miss Birenbaum, for all you do for our students!
