The Mega-Meter Challenge: A Lesson in Teamwork
Biology students were presented with a deceptively simple challenge: lower a meter stick to the ground while supporting it from underneath using only their index fingers. What seemed easy at first quickly turned into a surprisingly difficult task.
Working in small teams, students had to rely on patience, adaptability, and—most critically—effective communication. As the activity progressed, teams were merged into larger groups, eventually culminating in a class-wide effort to lower a massive “mega-meter stick.”
The exercise proved both fun and frustrating, sparking valuable conversations about group dynamics, collaboration, and the importance of shared focus in achieving a common goal.
Congrats, Ava!
Congratulations to Ava for committing to South Dakota Mines for Girls' Basketball! We wish you all the best!!
Omro Boys Soccer Brings Home Wins
The Omro Boys’ Soccer team kicked off their season on Tuesday with an impressive 8-0 road win over the Wrightstown Tigers. Just two days later, they battled the Winneconne Wolves in a nail-biter, edging out a 4-3 victory to stay undefeated.
Omro Shuts Out GB!
Varsity football kicked off the season with a shutout victory over the Green Bay West Wildcats, 13-0! Way to go! Tonight, they face the Winneconne Wolves in a non-conference matchup for the coveted China Bull. Good luck, Foxes!
Parents Are The Key
The annual FOCUS teen driver safety event is back. This year there’s a special emphasis on parents and caregivers. Parents are invited to participate and learn how they can support their young drivers. The program, hosted by the Trauma Center at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center-Neenah, is being held in partnership with the Regional Safe Routes to School, with funding from the ThedaCare Foundation-Neenah and community support. CLICK HERE to register.
Omro Area Community Center Needs YOU!
Youth Advisory Council - YAC is intended to be an event planning committee of 12-18 year old's with adult supervision. This group is open to all area children of this age. They will be thinking up and enacting programs for themselves and those younger than them. The age range is large as it helps enable the older youth to be good examples for the younger. Free pizza will be available at the first meeting on September 1!
Senior Parent Meeting
New this year! Senior parents: we would like you and your senior to attend a meeting on Wednesday, September 3rd at 6pm in the High School Commons. This meeting will cover some important information on what to expect for seniors and their parents during this last school year. There will be time to meet as a parent group for planning activities for the seniors as part of this meeting.
Picture Day is Coming!
Picture day for OMS/OHS students is Friday, September 5th in the morning. All students will have their picture taken, regardless if parents order a picture package or not. A student ID will be given to each student which can be used to get into most home games. We ask that students avoid scheduling appointments for that morning. Picture retake day will be on the morning of Friday, October 17th.

Athletics and Activities Attendance Policy (Condensed)
Students must attend the full school day to participate in practice or competition. To be eligible on a day with an absence:
Step 1: A parent must notify the office 24 hours in advance. For emergency medical appointments, parents must call before 8:00 AM the day of the absence. A medical note is required upon arrival.
Step 2: Student collects an excused slip from the office with the medical note.
Step 3: Student gives the excused slip to their coach/advisor before participating.
A parent may call a student in for personal reasons as long as they arrive before 2nd hour and are within their 10 excused absences for the year. Unexcused absences mean no participation until the next full day. Final decisions rest with the Dean of Students or Principal.
