KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.  On Sunday, December 7, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.  

Though most of the survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor and those who served in World War II are no longer with us, we will always remember their courage and devotion to our country. They truly shaped America into what it would become over the next half century and beyond.  Generations of Americans remain forever grateful to them for their unyielding love of country and sacrifice. 

Students (and parents), please know that KMMS is required to perform monthly fire drills-even in the winter.   While we always look for the "best weather day" for our drills, please make sure you (your child) come to school with weather-appropriate clothing so they have items to put on for our fire drills. 

This is a reminder that those students attending the Art of Writing, Young Authors and Artists Conference at the Milwaukee Art Museum will meet right away, Monday morning, in the front hallway. Mr. Langenecker, Mrs. Aspan, and Mr. Harrison will be there to greet you. The buses will leave at 7:30 AM sharp, so you can be at the conference on time. Bring a notebook, pencils, and a water bottle. Computers are optional since there is no guarantee you will be able to connect to WiFi. 

Come to celebrate the holiday season with your friends and family at Kettle Moraine High School’s Breakfast with Santa and Holiday Craft Fair this Saturday!
