October 16 through October 20 of 2023 is National School Bus Safety Week. The School District of Omro is grateful for all of the bus drivers and personnel that transport our students safely. According to trafficsafetymarketing.gov, "School buses are the safest way for children to get to school. Their design is meant to be safer than any passenger vehicle in avoiding crashes and preventing injuries. Teaching children to follow safety rules on the bus is just as important as informing drivers about the laws regarding school buses." Each school year, students are reminded of how to safely ride the school bus, as we all play a part in the safe transportation of our students.

Second grade students in Mrs. Babcock's social studies class learned about neighborhoods and communities in their first unit. The students made houses labeled with their addresses and put them on the map of Omro. They noticed some students were in town, others in the country, and many represented communities nearby. Including Mrs. Babcock, six different communities were represented in their class. Wow!
