OHS Newsletter
455 Fox Trail, Omro, WI 54963 920-303-2300
Students or staff can easily make a pass from their Chromebook and then leave their Chromebook in the classroom removing the need to bring their passbooks with them into the restroom; something our students have been asking for.
As we pilot this system, we will make modifications as we learn how it works ad what adjustments might be needed for staff and students. We believe it will streamline as well as increase safety in our building.
Stay tuned for more information!
Have a great weekend!

Glazed And Confused Takes Top Honors In Build A Burger Contest
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 with a nutrition facts label, and present it to a group of judges.
The "Glazed and Confused" Burger earned top honors created by Ally, Bella, Gavin, and Brooklyn. This novel burger consisted of a seasoned patty topped with caramelized onions and bacon, served on a glazed donut drizzled with syrup and crushed sweet potato chips.

"Small Trash, Big Impact: Omro Students Clean Up Campus"
Omro High School Biology students picked up litter on campus throughout our sport fields, woods, and arboretum. We picked up all litter but focused on pieces smaller than a dollar bill, items easily overlooked. We found too many plastic bottle caps, plastic zip ties, and candy and snack wrappers. Over the course of the afternoon we picked up over 15 bags of plastic garbage. We are proud to be Foxes and keep our community clean!
