Students in the World of Children class recently participated in Infant Care Stations. They had the chance to hold an infant, practice reading a book, diaper/dress an infant, and practice their use of gross and fine motor skills.
Congratulations to our Fox Paw winners from H.B. Patch and OES for the week ending on November 17, 2023. Thanks for exemplifying the Fox Four of being safe, responsible, respectful, and positive!
OMS students have some different Fox Paw opportunities this month, so there will not be any Fox Paw winners shared on Fridays for OMS.
In Mrs. Babcock's second grade Social Studies class, students are learning about Native American life. The students were able to explore her collection of artifacts and figure out how it was used in their everyday life. They also made their own Native American story belts and practiced writing stories with Native American pictographs.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Congratulations to OMS and OHS Fox Friday winners from Friday, November 17, 2023! These students were nominated by staff members or other students for demonstrating the Fox Four (Safety, Responsibility, Respect, or Positivity).
Staff members were nominated by students or other staff members for being a role model, an advocate for students, or having a positive connection with students.
The School District of Omro is proud to share their achievement of Exceeding Expectations, as determined by the Overall Accountability Rating on the Department of Public Instruction's Report Card for the 2022-2023 school year.
One celebration of our report card is that Omro showed more growth in English Language Arts and Math than 87.6% of districts in the state of Wisconsin.
The District appreciates the great effort given by students, staff, families, and board members to support Learning and Academics.
Great job, Foxes!

What began decades ago as a group of community leaders around a table with the goal of bringing some extra cheer to area students has become a tradition in Omro so heartfelt that those involved might say it starts their Christmas season.
A combined effort of Omro School District Staff and high school students along with generous community supporters allow dozens of Omro students 4K through 5th grade, to once again be embraced with the true spirit of the season. Every year, a few weeks prior to Christmas, the students start their day enjoying a donated breakfast with their high school companion. Then they load donated buses from Lamers and head out to shop at Target for necessity items and a fun gift. The group shops for an hour and then returns to school to wrap their gifts and then they will enjoy a donated lunch from Piggly Wiggly and treats made by high school students and staff.
This event is sponsored through fundraisers and personal donations from the Omro community and surrounding areas. The Shopping Day with Kids team wishes to thank everyone who has supported this event in the past and to all who continue to make this program successful. We are in need of monetary donations to continue this wonderful program. Donations are welcomed and accepted all year long. If you are interested in making a donation to this event, please make your donation out to Shopping Day with Kids and bring it to any school office or mail it to:

Mrs. Babcock's second grade class studied dinosaurs in science, and for a 100 chart celebration, her students spent time examining her fossil collection from all over the USA. They were in awe and wonder! It's always a great day to be a scientist!
