CAMPUS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Zuma, Sadie, Ashtyn, Syd, and Mia, thanks for sharing your amazing artwork with Mr. Bestor for morning announcements!

The nationally run and recognized art competition, Scholastics Arts and Writing Awards, has announced their winners at the state level. KMHS has an amazing showing this year with 3 Gold Keys, 2 Silver Keys, and 5 Honorable Mentions. The Gold and Silver Key winners will have their artwork displayed at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The Gold Keys will continue on to the national competition in NYC. This is a very competitive art competition and a huge honor for all the artists.

The Scholastic Art Awards: Wisconsin Exhibition will be on view from February 24 through April 7, 2024, in Schroeder Galleria at the Milwaukee Art Museum. We hope you can find time to go down to the museum and see the show, it truly is an impressive show of Wisconsin student's work. 

The high school students shown above have been recognized as Finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Competition.

More than 1.5 million juniors nationwide entered the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/MNSQT) in the fall of their junior year. The 16,000 semifinalists represented less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors and included the highest scoring entrants in each state. To become a finalist and to be considered for a National Merit scholarship, each student was required to present an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed by their high school, and earn college entrance test scores that confirmed the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying SAT.

Winners of Merit Scholarship awards are chosen from the Finalist group based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. Scholarships will be awarded to approximately 7,000 finalists beginning in March 2024.

February 15th is National SRO Day!

Our student resource officers, Officer Sonenberg and Officer Catanni, are a huge part of our KM Family. They are also an instrumental force in maintaining school safety, culture, and structure. Both have been involved in important school-wide initiatives to protect students from online predators, bullying, and harmful substances.

We are so grateful for their presence in our day-to-day activities!

Please thank them for all that they do to make our schools such wonderful places to work and learn.

Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins in 1954 at a remote mansion; six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth (the butler), Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. 

Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out...WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT! 

Content Warning: CLUE: On Stage (High School Edition) includes prop weapons including revolvers and gunshot sound effects. The plot references some mature themes, including various reasons a person may pay blackmail and/or commit murder. The High School Edition is similar to a PG film.
