The students in Mrs. Morse's World of Children class had fun playing with homemade toys that they made in the Foods Lab. They enjoyed making noodle necklaces, painted pictures with finger paint and watercolors, created snowflakes, and worked with playdough.
Seasons Greetings! #BridgingBrighterSmiles wishes everyone happy holidays! Don’t forget to enroll at www.bridgingbrightersmiles.org to keep that smile bright this holiday season!
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 "Pretzel Burger" earned top honors created by Haley, Ellie, and Julia. Congratulations to all!
AP Biology students flexed their microbiology muscles by performing a bacterial transformation experiment. Using biotechnology used by scientists, students genetically modified bacteria with a jellyfish gene that allows them to glow in UV light.
ALL labs groups successfully cultured glowing bacteria that look ready for a dance party!
Mrs. Morse's Culinary Arts class was asked to help cater cupcakes for the "Beary-Foxy" Festive Holiday Event held at Menominee Park Zoo on Sunday, December 15.
The class baked 12 dozen cupcakes and decorated them to represent the new additions joining the zoo- Mr. Reeves (black bear) and Mellie, Joey, and Apollo (3 feisty foxes).
It was a great experience for the students and a nice opportunity to help give back to the community.
The School District of Omro will have no school for students and teachers from December 23, 2024 through January 1, 2025.

For the 2024-2025 school year, we would like to introduce/share about as many staff members as possible, as everyone has an integral role in our school community.
Staff were asked to share about themselves using a "6 word summary." Read on to learn a bit more about our 6-12 Specialists!
Attention!
The School District of Omro is CANCELING all AFTER SCHOOL activities for December 19, 2024. This includes community events that use our facilities.
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.
The December Student of the Month is Kayannah.
Throughout high school, Kayannah has been a part of Cross Country, Sources of Strength, Key Club, National Honor Society, Book Club, and Battle of the Books. She has also volunteered at blood drives, trick or treating for canned goods, highway cleanups, STEAM Nights, Field Days, and Ascension Mercy Hospital.
Outside of school, Kayannah enjoys playing the trumpet, reading, writing, and volunteering.
After graduation, she plans to attend a college on her list and major in Neurobiology.
The National Honor Society executive board started a new tradition this year! They chose 4 students to adopt & shop for through the Christmas Crusade program sponsored by Form the Family (previously the Winnebago County Foster Closet) which is a non profit based in Oshkosh.
NHS members met after school to shop and select gifts for the kids. Thank you Liam, Ariana, Holly, and Makenna for each leading a shopping group!
