Wednesday, May 3rd Omro Middle School and High School Students participated in National Bike to School Day. There were snacks and chances to win prizes for all who walked or biked to school that day. At the end of the day, students were encouraged to stop by the Omro Community Bike Shoppe where the fun continued. Students blended up some tasty lemonade slushies with our human-powered bike blender. We ended the day with a turtle bike race (the slowest person won) and more prizes. Thank you to all students and staff who participated, Eastern Wisconsin Safe Routes to School, and our local Kwik Trip for donating healthy treats.

Last week was Wellness Week at OHS. Wellness Week is meant to be a week-long event that gets students involved in wellness activities during their lunch period and is hosted by Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). This year, two members of Collaborative Wellness provided a selfie photo op and stickers and other wellness activities. Officer Peeters provided the students with an opportunity to try on impairment goggles and then complete a maze puzzle. SOS members had students answer trivia questions about wellness. Our nurse, Karen Carley asked students to "Act" on awareness so students played Gestures and had to act out activities. SADD also provided "Free Hug Coupons" for students and staff all week long.

Mrs. Babcock's students recently released their Painted Lady Butterflies. With much excitement and wonder they observed the butterflies change from the larva to the pupa stage and then emerge as adult butterflies. In the classroom students feed them sugar water, oranges, and dandelions. It was good to release them so they can continue the life cycle.
