GET YOUR TICKETS TO INTO THE WOODS!!! This rousing musical will be held in the remodeled KM auditorium December 12-14 - 7:00 PM and Sunday, December 15 - 2:00 PM.
The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Please note: This musical contains adult themes which may not be suitable for some young audience members. Adults: $15, Seniors (65+): $12, Students (K-12): $12. Tickets will be available online beginning Friday, November 8th at https://sites.google.com/a/kmsd.edu/kmperformmusical/home. Tickets can also be purchased in the auditorium lobby one hour prior to the performance using cash or check only. Patrons wishing to purchase via credit card will be directed to the online purchasing site.
NEW TIME… Forward. Together.
Join Mr. Bestor TOMORROW - 9:30-10:30a.
Mr. Bestor is actively engaging teachers in discussions about the small steps to achieve great academics, extra-curriculars, and school culture for KMHS… in the next 3-5 year timeframe, and he’d like your (parental) input as well!
This is not a strategic planning session, just a chat over coffee about what’s on your mind!
The Counseling Department is hosting a Post-Secondary Night on November 13th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Families are invited to attend four 25-minute sessions of their choice focused on college and career planning. Session times, locations, and descriptions can be found HERE https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xZ_W2Dl5K8H2lwVu82ObRxCbz2clEl-yGRgFZFDhhJY/edit?usp=sharing.
Start planning which sessions you would like to attend. We ask families to enter through the main office entrance to pick up materials and to report directly to their session #1 location.
New this year - the annual KM Financial Aid Program has joined Post-Secondary Night to give seniors the opportunity to continue exploring post-secondary options. We recommend that senior families attend this 6:00 PM session in the auditorium if they plan to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) this year.
KM LEADERSHIP CLASS SHARES THEIR STORY!!! Each year, Mr. Bestor's leadership students write and design their own children's books and read them to KM Explore students. It is a wonderful mentorship opportunity and our high school students really benefit from the input of younger learners on their work.
DECA'S OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD!!! It's time for KM DECA's holiday-themed drive! This year, the KM DECA officer team has chosen to partner with Operation Christmas Child to facilitate a collection of necessities for children in need. Our chapter goal is to fill 100 shoeboxes to send around the world to needy families in impoverished countries. That being said, we need your help to donate items we can put in the shoeboxes. We are looking for new items (unused) that fit in a shoebox and a list of examples is shown in the picture. No food, drink, or liquids of any kind please! All items can be brought to either the front office at KMHS or Mr. Dellis' room (D25). Donations will be accepted at the main entrance of the following locations: Kettle Moraine High School, Cushing Elementary, Culver’s Wales, Mama D’s
Chick-Fil-A Delfield. Items will be accepted from Monday, November 4th until Friday, November 15th. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
KM ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND KMHS STUDENT GOVERNMENT LAUNCH HUGE GIFT COLLECTION FOR PARTNER SCHOOL IMPACTED BY HURRICANES!!! All of our KM elementary schools and our high school student government will be participating in a Friendsgiving collection that will conclude on November 26th. Donated or purchased items will be collected into shoe boxes and organized by age and gender. These "shoe boxes for Santa" will then be personally delivered by a friend of Mrs. Cavanaugh to students at WD Williams Elementary School in Swannanoa North Carolina. These students have been terribly impacted by hurricanes, tornados, and flooding. Most were left with nothing. Our goal is to gather up much-needed clothing items like hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, socks, and also a few fun things like toys, art supplies, or puzzles. These items will be collected and wrapped in shoe box care packages. The school has 450 students at 4 elementary schools. If we are able to build more than 450 boxes, we will share our extras with other schools in the area. All items must be collected by November 26th, as they will be driven down to North Carolina and delivered by December 4th. We are also going to need wrapping paper, shoe boxes, and labels for packaging our gifts. Watch the video for more information, or drop off your donations at any KM elementary school!

NAME THAT AUDITORIUM!!! Our auditorium renovation is getting close to completion, and it is time to start thinking about naming this beautiful venue. While we have a generous naming sponsor, their hope is that our students have ownership of the project and select the name. So we are calling on our KM Community to start the process by submitting your naming suggestions. The submission process will close November 20th. Then, our team will narrow down the options to a group of preferred names for students to vote on. The final name will be unveiled at our grand opening early next year. To submit your naming ideas, visit: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-hz8SWDP2r2Vqyf5XI2MkYUG29ljEMe9VGxiqVyR3ql3URA/viewform?usp=sf_link

DECA FOOD DRIVE DELIVERS!!! by Hunter Phillips, KM DECA Communications Officer. KM DECA's annual food drive ran from Tuesday, October 15th until Monday, October 28th this year. We raised 10,820 pounds of food, which is almost 1,000 more pounds than last year! After all the food bags were loaded into the Target trailer, students from Mr. Dellis' Marketing/Business Application class unloaded them into crates at Waukesha Food Pantry to benefit those in need within our community. Waukesha Food Pantry assists around 700 households in the area with obtaining food weekly, and they were very thankful for all the food collected by this drive. Thanks again to Target and Pick 'N Save for providing us with the trailer and bags for this drive, and look out for KM DECA's Holiday Drive coming soon!
CULINARY ARTS FIELD TRIP!!! Ms. Jordan and Ms O'Gorman took a field trip to a new restaurant, The Inn, that will be opening in downtown Hartland in December. Students were able to get a backstage look at the process of creating a restaurant, get a tour of the construction and design process, and speak with the owners to learn more about what it takes to open a restaurant and succeed in the culinary industry. The students loved participating in the process and we can't wait for the restaurant to open!
