Right before spring break, Lindsay Loewe and Griffen, from Collaborative Wellness, came into Ms. Jentz’s Psychology class. Lindsay led a guided art therapy using the Don Jones Assessment. Students are currently learning about Memory & Cognition and this fit well with deepening understanding of how our memories and our cognitive processing helps us make decisions in different situations.
We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Spring Break!
We are looking forward to welcoming students back into the building on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. Plug your Chromebooks in tonight (Monday), so that they are fully charged and ready for a day of learning on Tuesday!

Mrs. Morse's high school Child Development class led a craft room at Literacy Night on March 14, 2024. Even Dr. Jones made a craft! 🙂
Our students did a great job in their performances of the Wizard of Oz! Below are some of the "Munchkins" that shared their talents with the community.
Earlier this month, some members from the FFA club went down to OES to help Mrs. Poppy with a couple of activities for the 4th and 5th graders. The 4th & 5th graders are working on the Ag Essay with the Topic of "Wisconsin is Fruit-Full". The high schoolers helped with making Mini Fruit Pizzas and Cranberry Soil Cups.
This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Mrs. Brooke Neubauer. She is an art teacher at OMS and OHS. Brooke is currently in her first year here in Omro, and her tenth year overall.
Other than art, Brooke enjoys reading and outdoor activities.
A favorite quote of Brooke’s is by Albus Dumbledore, “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
Thank you, Mrs. Neubauer, for all you do for our students!

On Thursday, March 14 (3.14), 7th and 8th grade students who have Mrs. Daw and/or Mrs. McKittrick for Math celebrated "Pi Day". Students reviewed pi (ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle), used the digits 3, 1, and 4 to write expressions that have a value of the numbers 1 through 10, did a Two Truths and a Pi station activity, and played a Race to Pi card game. In addition, students enjoyed individual pies brought in by Mrs. Daw!
Students had the opportunity to participate in a "Fox Time with Griffin" experience recently at Omro High School. They reflected on and colored a feelings wheel and took time to pet Griffin as part of a program offered by Collaborative Wellness in partnership with Sources of Strength.
Students have been studying a food timeline in Mrs. Morse's Food, Family and Society class to see how food has transitioned and changed from early pioneer times to traditional, present times. Students recently had a lab in which they made homemade pizza making their own crust. Pride was shared by the students as they learned a new skill and enjoyed a treat made from scratch!
Second grade students are learning about changing matter in Science. As an extension, Mrs. Babcock's students made butter. They shook it, ate it, and then did more science and reversed it back into a liquid and then a solid again! Science is fascinating!
