Students in Mrs. Morse's Advanced Culinary Arts class participated in a Cake Decorating contest as part of their Bake Shop Unit.
Students worked in partnerships to design a cake according to their client's request. "Clients" ranged from a cake for a 5 year old's birthday who likes animals and outdoors, a cake to celebrate Father's Day and a graduation cake. Guess which cake won?
Congrats to Nate and Lucas-- Dinosaur Cake!

The "Messed Up Burger" earned top honors created by Tucker, Julee, Nick, and with the help of Mrs. C. Their recipe was a well-seasoned patty, topped with bacon, lettuce, relish, and mayo/Thousand Island dressing on a toasted bun. Congratulations to all!

Wednesday, May 8th 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 rode their bikes and completed a scavenger hunt on the school grounds. When they were done, students blended up some tasty lemonade slushies with our human-powered bike blender. To finish off the afternoon, students participated in a turtle bike race (the slowest person won) and more prizes were handed out.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this event and our friends at Eastern Wisconsin Safe Routes to School!

To celebrate their hard work this season, they were joined by our Book Club Seniors for a day of celebration and love of literacy.
On the field trip they visited a Little Free Library in Omro to restock with books. After sharing some new stories with residents in Omro they went to Barnes and Noble where they picked out new books for our school library. They finished off the day with lunch and a movie.
