Winter Walk to School Month: Week 2 - Penguin Slide
In Winter, the safest way to go is --- SLOW on the ICE! This week students will be able to watch a video of how to safely walk on slippery surfaces, like a penguin.
Did you know that cold weather has been shown to result in a meaningful energy boost that lasts for hours after you walk? Get outside this week and try to walk like a penguin. Use the safety tips to avoid falling on slippery surfaces.
Last week, eighth grade students in Mrs. Hughes' Social Studies classes completed stations learning more about slavery and abolition in the years leading up to the Civil War. They read primary sources, looked at images, and viewed videos about Fredrick Douglass and Abolitionism.

This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Mr. Brad Clark. He is an OMS Physical Education and OHS Health teacher. It is Brad's first year of teaching here in Omro, although it is his twenty-first year in education.
Brad enjoys exercising, basketball, and yardwork.
When asked about his favorite thing about working for the School District of Omro is, he immediately replied with, “the students.”
Thank you, Mr. Clark, for all you do for our students!
Recently, OMS students in Mrs. Becker's grade 7 Social Studies classes shared "Sights to See in Africa" with one another.
Last week our 6th grade students had the chance to select a free book through the Partners in Literacy Program with Scholastic Books. Students in grades 4K - 6 can select a free book 3 times a year in January, March, and May. Omro School District is happy to promote this program as it gets more books into the hands of our students.
Photos included are of Mrs. Schrimpf's 6th-grade students and their new books. Happy reading everyone!
