OUR KIDS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR FUTURE. REFERENDUM 2024: Like many other Wisconsin districts, the School District of Omro deals with increased student needs and reduced state funding. At the same time, significant investments are needed to address the major facilities challenges, including District-wide safety and security; aging infrastructure; overcrowding at H.B. Patch Elementary; and annual operations and maintenance costs. Today, many Wisconsin school districts are operating under an active referendum. The proposed referendum plan was designed to address our major challenges.

Representatives from Omro's Student Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) and Athletic/Activities Director Jon Tomaszewski had the opportunity to join CESA 6 CEO Ted Neitzke, and student athletes from across the conference, at the first Flyway Sportsmanship Summit. While there, they experienced team-building activities and processed how their leadership can have a positive impact on their school environment. One takeaway was the zero-zero mindset, which emphasizes that no matter if an individual/team/group is winning or losing, the score is zero-zero. When a person/team thinks they have lost, the game is over. When a person/team thinks they have won is when the competition can catch them.

Once they achieved that, they needed to add weights to the suspended cup and remove as many Popsicle sticks as possible. Edyn and Maranda were able to add 25 pennies to their cup using only 8 Popsicle sticks!
