KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Vel Phillips’ life was a series of firsts. She was the first African American woman to graduate from the University of Wisconsin–Madison law school, the first to win a seat on Milwaukee’s City Council, the first to become Secretary of State of Wisconsin, AND the first to become a judge in Wisconsin. More impressive, Vel did it all at a time when many African Americans were not allowed to exercise their civil rights. In 2017, students from Kettle Moraine Middle School interviewed Ms.Phillips on her accomplishments for a documentary titled: First Lady of Wisconsin; Vel Phillips. They won state and presented their work at Nationals. Ms. Phillips died just 10 months later. Today, you can drive on Vel R. Phillips Avenue in Milwaukee.

Congrats to the 6th grade Navy girls basketball team who took 1st place in the KM Sweetheart Tournament on Saturday!
