Thank you Waukesha State Bank #PayitForwardPatrol!
The #PayitForwardPatrol is part of their “Happy Community Banking Month” celebration! They are giving away gift cards, bringing lunch to local first responders and nurses, hosting donation drives, and more, as they give back to our community this April.
Unprompted, Waukesha State Bank chose to reach out to our KMHS Campus Best Buddies Club to "pay it forward" as they felt the Kettle Moraine Best Buddies organization was a great fit as a community "surprise and delight" event during their month-long celebration!

Buy tickets for the KM Perform Musical: HONK - A Musical Tale of "The Ugly Duckling!"
Since it first hatched in 1993, Stiles & Drewe's musical, Honk!, has winged its way around the world in over 8,000 productions and in many different languages. Winner of multiple awards, including the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical, this heartwarming celebration of being different is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit and memorable score.
Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out that being different is not a bad thing to be.
With its bouncing score and universal story, this touching musical with plenty of heart will captivate audiences of all ages.
Ticket Information:
Adults: $15
Seniors (65+): $12
Students (through grade 12): $12
