KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Next week we will kick off our Light in the Darkness fundraiser competition to support our very own KMMS families and students who may experience the loss of a parent or sibling. This fundraiser is held in support of National Children’s Grief Awareness Day, which is observed next week Thursday. Starting on Tuesday, we will have different activities during your lunch period to recognize those who are grieving the loss of a loved one or know of someone who is grieving. One way you can show your support is to donate to our Light in the Darkness fundraiser competition, which starts this Monday and will go until Friday. The money you donate will go towards supporting the families of students who have lost a parent or sibling, or that are suffering from a terminal illness. Money should be turned in to your Laser Hour teacher’s donation box and can be in the form of coins or dollars. Each grade’s winning Laser Hour in Inspire, and the winning laser hour in Create, will receive a mystery prize and our building goal is to raise $500. 

Kettle Moraine Trap and Sporting Clays season is gearing up for 2025! 

We will host our first registration/open house on Thursday, December 5th from 5-7pm in the KM High School library. Our second session will be on Monday, December 9th from 5-7 pm in the High School Library. At this time we will go over what the team is all about and answer any questions. 

We will also be signing up any existing athletes who want to sign up again. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Cyndi Patrick at patrickc@kmsd.edu.

The True Grit award is available to ALL students in grades 6-8 and is sponsored by the Lake Country Optimist Club.

You are invited to join the KM Forensic Team, where students learn to speak with conviction. Whether performing a dramatic monologue or delivering a persuasive speech, this team helps us build communication skills with confidence and clarity. Through practice and competition, we gain the tools to express ideas with passion and precision. It’s a place to grow, find your voice, and make an impact—because every argument we make and story we tell has the power to shape the world around us.

We meet every Tuesday from 2:35 to 4 pm in room 601.
