Mrs. Whitney's Anatomy & Physiology classes hosted a "baby shower" on Tuesday, May 20th as part of their mock pregnancy project. This unique educational experience not only furthered students’ understanding of prenatal development and maternal health, but also fostered community involvement. As an extension of the project, students collected a variety of baby items to be donated to Casa Esther, a local organization in Omro that supports families in need. Their efforts combined learning with giving, making a positive impact both inside and outside the classroom.

Scholarship Night is always a memorable event at Omro High School, and this year was no exception as excitement filled the air with proud senior students. Held on Wednesday, May 21 in the PAC, the evening honored 40 members of the Class of 2025 who received one or more scholarships in recognition of their dedication, service, academic and athletic achievements, and future aspirations. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, over $184,000 in scholarship funds were awarded to help these deserving seniors take the next step toward achieving their dreams.

Omro had a great showing at the Flyway Track and Conference meet in Lomira on Monday, bringing home lots of hardware! Ralphie made First Team in the 100M, 200M, and Triple Jump, while Lucas K earned spots in both the 800M and 1600M. Caroline also grabbed First Team honors in the 1600M, and Mason H crushed it in the 110M hurdles—setting a Flyway Conference record—along with the 300M hurdles and high jump. On the Second Team, Ralphie was also recognized for high jump, Madeline for the 400M, Caroline for the 800M, and Annabelle, Peyton, Abby, and Aaliyah L for their strong run in the 4x400M relay. Honorable mentions went to Blake H in high jump, Oliver in pole vault, Nick in triple jump, Annabelle in the 300M hurdles, and Jayden in both shot put and discus. Congrats to everyone, and good luck at Regionals in Waupun on Tuesday!

Congratulations to the girls' soccer team for finishing second at the Omro Tournament last Saturday! They bounced back to a .500 record with a 3-1 victory over the Mayville Cardinals on Thursday, May 22. Next up, they'll face Howard's Grove again on Tuesday, May 27.

All athletes and parents interested in participating in sports next year should sign up for SportsYou by scanning the QR code for the specific sport. This will ensure you receive updates about summer contact days and camps.

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.
