KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

We want to take a step back in time to three weeks ago, which was National School Psychologists Week. We would be remiss to not take a moment to recognize and celebrate our own School Psychologist, Mrs. Allison Beyerl. Mrs. Beyerl plays a vital role in our school by collaborating with families, staff, and the wider school community to help our students be ready to learn. The theme of this year’s School Psych week is “Spark Discovery.” Mrs. Beyerl works tirelessly to help students discover and work on their own talents and abilities to contribute to getting a great education. Those who know Mrs. Beyerl know her humor, her compassion, but also her no nonsense approach. When talking to Mrs. Beyerl, you may not get the advice you always want, but you’re definitely going to get the advice you need to be ready to learn. You are the best, thank you, Mrs. Beyerl!

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 are meeting right now in the front hallway. Mr. Langenecker, Mrs. Aspan, and Mr. Harrison are there to greet you. The buses are leaving at 7:30 AM. Bring a notebook, pencils, and a water bottle. Computers are optional since there is no guarantee you will be able to connect to WiFi.

Please take a look at the Lost and Found. There are jackets, water bottles, lunch bags, shoes, sweatshirts and more! Anything unclaimed by December 20th will be donated.

The LASER LOCKER is fully stocked for holiday shopping!! Great time to redeem a gift card if you have one. Also, free elf delivery service available for Secret Santa gifting.

Attention ALL Kettle Moraine Middle School Students

Do you earn good grades?

Do you volunteer in your community?

If you answered yes to these two questions, please consider applying to be Kettle

Moraine Middle School’s nominee for the Carson Scholarship!  This opportunity is open to all students who have a GPA of at least 3.75 (that is, no more than one B in their Math, STEM, Literacy, and Social Studies classes) and have completed community service / volunteer hours.  

If our school’s nominee is chosen by the Carson Scholars Fund to be an award winner, they will receive a $1,000 scholarship invested towards a four-year college or university.  Learn more about the Carson Scholars Fund, including info about the application and selection process HERE.  

Applications can be picked up in the front office.  Please see Mr. Korb or Mrs. Cowan with any questions.

Each applicant will be required to write a short essay.  The applications will be reviewed by a committee to determine our school’s nominee.  Applications are due in the front office by the end of the day on Wednesday, December 11th.

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. Questions? Contact Mr. Kaldhusdal

The Student Senate meets after school until 4pm in the 6 Inspire house open area. Our next meeting is Tuesday, December 10th.
