4K students are public speakers! For Show & Tell, 4k students had a chance to bring in their favorite books, and come to the front to share with the class :)

The bands and choirs would like to thank the community members who purchased a mattress at our annual mattress sale.

During the September Sources of Strength Fox Time activity, students at OHS learned how phones can negatively affect mental health and dominate our time. Students practiced verbal and nonverbal communication by playing the classic "Telephone Game". Everyone had a laugh as they sent messages down the line. It was fun to communicate and connect without technology.

The School District of Omro will be conducting a three-year-old developmental screening on Monday, October 21, 2024 at HB Patch Elementary from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for children who were born between May 1, 2021 and October 21, 2021 and currently reside within the School District of Omro boundaries. The screening is offered bi-annually to look at the areas of fine and gross motor skills, basic school readiness skills, speech sound production and communication. If a child is found to have significant delays after being further evaluated, programming such as the Early Childhood program or Speech and Language therapy may be recommended. Another screening will be held in the spring for those children who will turn three years of age after October 21, 2024. A letter and questionnaire about children’s development were sent to parents of children who are on the district's census list and within the screening age. If you did not receive a letter and questionnaire for your child, please contact Jaime Ellison at (920) 303-2317 or complete the screening questionnaire online at https://www.asqonline.com/family/5b4d1d. Appointments are needed to attend the screening. Please note that we do not screen children who do not currently reside within the School District of Omro boundaries, even if you intend to apply for open enrollment for your child or move to Omro in the future. Contact your current district of residence to inquire about their screening process.

On a sunny Wednesday in September, grade 4 students went on a field trip to Norbert Rich School Forest, which they were invited to visit through an invitation from the Winneconne Community School District. Students had the opportunity to experience nature through an active, hands on learning experience. A great time was had by all!

The middle school cross country team has been hard at work to improve their performances. They recently ran a meet in Winneconne, with the boys' team placing third out of eight scored teams. At hte Mishicot meet, the girls' took first place out of the nonscored teams, and the boys took tenth place out of 21 scored teams. Great job, Foxes!
