On their field trip they visited 3 Little Free Libraries in Omro and Oshkosh to restock with books. After sharing their love of literacy with residents in Omro and Oshkosh they went to Barnes and Noble where they picked out 14 new books for our school library. Making a trip back to Oshkosh they finished off the day with lunch and a movie. Great job this Battle of the Books Season Liam and Kayannah!

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.
