Need some parental help:

There is a Tik Tok trend for students to purposefully damage their school Chromebooks circulating around right now. This trend unfortunately is hitting our school as well. We are seeing students that are sticking metal and other materials into Chromebook ports and this behavior can lead to sparks, potential fires, battery damage, and serious injury. The trend also has students sticking materials into outlets. Students were sent a message warning them that if they damage school property on purpose they would have school consequences and may even have a referral for vandalism to our School Resource Officer. Please discuss this with your students as well. We appreciate your support and assistance.

Each month, a senior is selected as the OHS Student of the Month based on their scholarship, citizenship, leadership, and involvement in co-curricular activities. The Student of the Month for May is Holly! Congratulations, Holly!

Congratulations go out to the following students and staff member for being chosen as this week's Fox Friday winners: Hunter, Autumn and Kylee and our staff member, Mr. Schumacher! Thank you for demonstrating the characteristics of the Fox Four and for being such great role models!!

The concert program featured a showcase of talent from all grade levels, beginning with the 6th Grade Band performing the "Excellence" themed Aspire, Achieve, Strength and Honor, and Band Spirit. The 7th Grade Band followed with As One, Courage and Bravery, and Shining Moments, while the 8th Grade Band delivered moving performances of (Risk) Everything For A Dream, Confidence, and Stronger Together. The Varsity Concert Band then took the stage with Above and Beyond, Excel, and Impact. All bands joined together for a powerful finale, Infinite Possibilities, dedicated to the Senior Varsity Band members. In addition to the musical celebration, students honored the retirement of their beloved band director, Mrs. Wendy Fisher, after 27 years of dedicated service in the Omro School District as Director of Bands. It was an emotional and heartfelt sendoff for a leader who has shaped generations of musicians. Thank you, Mrs. Fisher, for your unwavering commitment, passion, and years of hard work that made the Omro Bands what they are today.

This past weekend the Omro FFA had their annual end of the year banquet where they gave awards, recognized members for their hard work, retired and installed some new officers! Congratulations on a great year in FFA!

Students in Mrs. Morse’s Advanced Culinary Arts class are currently working through their Bake Shop Unit. As part of their exploration of cake baking and decorating, they took part in a Cupcake Wars Competition. Each team selected a unique theme, then baked and decorated a dozen cupcakes, which they presented on a custom-designed display. The creations were judged by OHS staff members. The title of "Cupcake Wars Champions" went to the team of Bella, Maya, and Shayli for their "Surfside Sweets" entry—a vanilla cupcake filled with s’mores flavors and topped with vanilla buttercream frosting.

On Saturday May 3rd, Key Club and NHS members participated in their spring highway cleanup. It’s awesome to see how much fun the kid having cleaning up our community!

In field events, Blake and Oliver won the high jump and pole vault, with additional second-place finishes from Ralphie and Ben.

*Those in BOLD are HOME EVENTS. See all rSchool Athletic Events here.

Sports physicals are required before a student can begin practice. Sports physicals are good for two school years. Any physical that is dated before March 31, 2024, will not be valid for the 2025-2026 school year.

A reminder to parents that if you need a sports physical for your child this upcoming season, please try and have your WIAA paperwork done this month so the onsite clinicians can complete them before the summer break. The provider is typically here on Tuesdays and Fridays. There is not a provider available at school over the summer. If you would like to have the physical completed at school, plan ahead. Urgent medical needs must be cared for prior to physicals being completed. If you prefer to utilize your child's primary care provider, I encourage you to make an appointment well in advance. Lastly, as a reminder, the clinic in Walgreens has closed.
