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.

Carson Gulley served as the head chef at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1926 to 1954.  During that time, Gulley’s recipes became so popular that he was able to host his own local TV and radio shows about cooking, and his famous fudge-bottom pie is still served today on campus.  When the university dedicated the Carson Gulley Commons, Gulley became the first African-American to have a building on the UW campus named after him.  Today, Badger students can dine at Carson’s Market on campus.  

Students are required to check in with their teacher before going to the Health Room.

The KM Forensics Team, where students speak with conviction, participated in their largest and last meet of the year on Friday at Longfellow Middle School in Wauwatosa. Jolie K, Ben R, and Ben P each won a bronze medal. Nadia M took home a silver medal. Kristin M won a gold medal. KM swept the Infomercial category, with  Ava S taking the gold,  Makenna H and Anna M taking the silver, and Sophia B winning the bronze. Congrats to the entire team for an amazing season. The team is now sending 29 Lasers to represent us at the State meet in a few weeks. 

The Coding Club is conducting a "Code for a Cause" fundraiser. They will be collecting pledges and then coding a project during the next meeting. The club has voted and decided to donate funds raised to the "Save a Fox Foundation." If you wish to participate, see Mrs Olson for a pledge sheet. Get ready to code some great projects!
