Omro High School

STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Omro High School selects a senior student each month to be the Student of the Month. Seniors are selected for their academic successes, leadership abilities, citizenship, and extracurricular activities. The seniors who are selected for this honor are also invited to attend an American Legion meeting for recognition by the sponsoring organization and may go on the ballot to be a graduation speaker.

High school students in Mrs. Morse's Culinary Arts class just recently completed a unit on Garnishing. They used a variety of produce, tools, and their creativity to create a unique plate presentation.

Thriving Together Thursday:

A month of planning, a 12 hour shift, and 20,000 steps later...."10 Buckaroos"-- was open for business on Wednesday, November 5. This event served as a capstone project for the class and provided the students with a "real life" type of experience of working in the Restaurant and Food Service Industry.

Students in Mrs. Morse's Advanced Culinary Arts class applied for their roles and created this restaurant from the ground up. The Front of the House Staff-- Manager Dina, Host Blake, Waitstaff Jayden, Carson, and Vanessa--- decorated the dining room, set the tables, and served the customers. The Back of the House Staff-- Head Chef Dylan and Assistant Chefs Cole, Jazmyn, Walker and Nate-- chose the menu and prepared the food.
The class served over 70 guests for lunch and dinner. The menu consisted of: Buckaroo Burgers, Pulled Pork, and Loaded Mac and Cheese, with an optional side of Ham and Cheese Pasta Salad. Desserts included warm Apple Crisp and Brownie Sundaes.

"It was a memorable and enjoyable dining experience for our students, staff, and community. Thank you to all who came to dine and supported this class project." - Mrs. Cindy Morse

At the end of October, Key Club had over 40 students trick-or-treating for canned goods. In all, they collected nearly 500 items for the Omro Food Pantry! Thank you to the community members for their donations!

Thank you to Omro High School drivers! 97% of OHS student drivers and passengers wore seatbelts on November 7, 2025 as the SADD group, along with OHS staff, sponsored the "Buckle Up Campaign".

As students entered the parking lot, SADD (Students Against Destructive Decision) members along with administrative staff polled the students. Students may have received a free drink from Kwik Trip or slip stating, "Next time you hop into the car, remember to buckle up! It's the law and yoru ticket to a safer ride."

Some safe driving/seatbelt facts:
~ In Wisconsin, both drivers and passengers can be fined for not wearing seat belts
~ 15,000 lives are saved every year by seat belts (NHTSA)
~ Ensure your seatbelt is fitted properly. The shoulder belt should be across your chest, not your neck, and the lap belt should be on your hips, not your stomach.

Students in the World of Children class recently participated in Infant Care Stations. They had the chance to hold an infant, practice reading a book, diaper/dress an infant, and practice their use of gross and fine motor skills.
