On Saturday, April 6, the Timber Rattlers and OMS partnered to provide an opportunity to raise funds for the OMS PTO. Mrs. Sabel did a great job running around the field during the game, collecting tennis balls and earning over $150 for the school fund. Thank you all those who attended and supported this opportunity.
This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Mrs. Tracey Miller. She is an English and speech teacher at OHS, who also teaches UWO CAPP and FVTC courses. Tracey is currently in her twenty-sixth here in Omro, and her twenty-ninth year overall.
Outside of school, Tracey enjoys reading, watching movies, shopping, bike riding, and being outdoors.
When asked what her favorite thing about working for the School District of Omro is, she said, “Coming back to the district that I attended and giving back to my community is my favorite thing about our district. I also like that our school feels like a family.”
Thank you, Mrs. Miller, for all you do for our students!
Earlier this month, Mrs. Gee and Ms. Jentz held an egg hunt for Book Club members.
Each egg had a number inside of it and that determined the order students would pick out a free book!
Mrs. Gee purchased a few boxes of new books through Book First, an organization that provides discounted, new books. All Book Club members received a new book!
They also got to pick out new stickers and bookmarks designed by OHS students Hadley and Morgan. Thank you to Mr. Turner and the Fab Lab made these designs come to life!

Prior to Spring Break, OHS was grateful to have two Tuesdays in a row to have Lindsay and Griffen from Collabarative Wellness join us for Fox Time!
One week, Linsday led an activity called “DBT House” which identified supports and strengths. The second week she led an activity that explored emotions and healthy outlets.
Students were able to connect with themselves as well as others, tap into their creative side, and spend some time with Griffen the therapy dog. Thank you, Lindsay, for all you do for the School District of Omro!
