SLOW DOWN AND SHARE THE ROAD
Sharing the road isn't just about following traffic laws, it's about fostering a culture of respect and safety for everyone.
Congratulations to Parker who was chosen as the Band 7 "Outstanding Performer" and to Aiden who was chosen as the "Outstanding Performer" from Band 8.
Parker and Aiden were chosen to receive this honor by their judge at solo/ensemble.
Health and physical education aren’t just boxes to check—they’re a journey that starts in kindergarten and grows with students all the way through graduation.
Whether it’s nutrition, mental wellness, decision-making, strength training, agility, or hands-on CPR training – we’re confident that every base is covered!
In the early years, it’s all about having fun—running, jumping, playing games, and learning how to move with confidence. 🛝🏃🏻♀️
As students move into middle school and high school, their experience expands beyond just movement. They learn the importance of teamwork 🫱🏻🫲🏻, how to set personal fitness goals 🥇, and what it really means to lead a healthy life 🥕.
By junior and senior year, students can choose from specialized courses, exploring everything from weightlifting and competitive team sports to activities like archery, frisbee golf, and table tennis. We want to help them find physical activities they actually enjoy—ones they can carry with them beyond high school. 🏋🏻
Prioritizing health isn’t just for class—it’s for life!
Thank you to our Anchor Partners!

On Monday 2/24, Key Club hosted their 2nd Annual Half Time Heart Toss!
Hearts could be purchased for $1 and then at half time all the hearts were thrown onto the court. Anyone’s whose heart landed on the Fox head won a prize, which were donated by the American Heart Association.
Thank you to all who participated! Between the hearts and concessions, almost $250 was raised for the American Heart Association!
The School District of Omro will be conducting a three-year-old developmental screening on Monday, March 10, 2025, at HB Patch Elementary from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for children who were born between October 22, 2021 and March 10, 2022 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.
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. Staff may request that a parent make an appointment on March 10 for their child based on the results of the questionnaire. Appointments are needed to attend the screening. If you do not receive a letter and ASQ-3 questionnaire for your child by February 3, please contact Jaime Ellison at (920) 303-2317. Alternatively, you can complete the ASQ-3 questionnaire online at https://www.asqonline.com/family/5b4d1d or by scanning the QR code below (you do not need to complete the ASQ:SE-2).
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.
Kindergarten art students drew pictures of imaginary creatures and monsters that 8th grade Art students transformed into soft sculptures. 8th grade students learned how to make a pattern and basic handstitching techniques. Many 8th grade students will be sending their soft sculptures back to Patch for the Kindergarten artists to keep!
These four fifth-grade boys just completed the state test for Battle of the Books! They won the competition for Omro Elementary School and went on to compete at the State level. They will be rewarded with a field trip consisting of a visit to Barnes and Noble, lunch at Pizza Ranch, and a movie at the theatre. All participants from both fourth and fifth grade will get to join in for a pizza party in March.
Great job Hayden, Chuck, Nolan and Emerson!
