Students in Mrs. Morse's World of Children class spent some time making homemade toys using ingredients and supplies found around your home. They made finger paints, flubber, noodle necklaces, Kool-Aid clay, and watercolors. They spent the next day "playing' with their toys and made connections to how children use toys to learn physical, intellectual, emotional, and social skills.
Wishing everyone a wonderful winter break! There will be no school from 12/25/23 through 01/02/24. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to our buildings on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
This week’s Omro Staff Spotlight features Miss Erica Birenbaum. She is a choir teacher at Omro Middle and High School. Erica is beginning her education career here in Omro!
Erica enjoys baking, hiking, camping, and singing (of course).
When asked what she enjoys about working for the School District of Omro, she said, “One of my favorite things about working in Omro is the sense of community and family throughout the school!”
Thank you, Miss Birenbaum, for all you do for our students!

Students in Mrs. Morse's Food for Life class participated in the Build a Burger Contest as part of their nutrient unit on Proteins. Students worked cooperatively to create a recipe, prepare it, construct a poster, and present their new idea to a group of judges. The "Obvious Choice" earned top honors created by Eli, Leyna, and Jonah. Their recipe was a slider served on a Hawaiian roll consisting of a seasoned beef patty, crispy bacon, fried onions, cheddar cheeses, and topped with a secret sauce. Congratulations to all!

Outside of school, Clara enjoys weightlifting, swimming, music, and sustainable fashion. Additionally, Clara has volunteered with Salvation Army bell ringing, highway cleanup, Feeding America, and Red Cross blood drives.
