Hello Student Council Representatives,

Your new Student Council Advisors are Mrs. Benbo and myself, and we are excited to work with you this year! We look forward to working together to continue making Omro High School a special place where students feel connected, involved, and excited to participate in school activities.

Our first Student Council meeting will be Thursday, September 3rd at 7:20 AM in Mrs. Piper’s Room 1709.

We have some important decisions to make and need to get moving quickly as we prepare for Homecoming. Because of this, it is very important that we have a strong majority of our representatives at this first meeting. Please make it a priority to attend.

We will be letting the office know that Student Council will be meeting before school that morning.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. We are looking forward to a great year and to seeing what we can accomplish together!

Thank you,
Mrs. Benbo & Mrs Piper

• Please make sure your locker is closed securely and that it is locked at all times. The school will not be liable for loss or damage to personal valuables due to unlocked lockers.
• Important! Do NOT rig your lockers open, especially by placing pencil or other items into the lock mechanism. This will damage the locks.
• Backpacks/coats/jackets/hats/purses must remain in the student’s locker during the school day. Students may not carry them to and from classes.
