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.

In our last announcement, we learned that February was chosen as Black History Month in part because it is the birth month of Frederick Douglass.  Frederick Douglass was born a slave in the state of Maryland, but escaped from slavery by boarding a northbound train when he was 19 or 20 years old.  Douglass spent the rest of his life working as an abolitionist and social reformer who wanted to end slavery and achieve equal rights for African Americans in the 1800s.  Many people who supported slavery at the time believed that slaves weren’t smart or skilled enough to function in American society.  Douglass, a powerful speaker and writer, clearly proved this belief wrong.

Laser Ladies of STEM met last week and around 120 girls built and raced electric cars. The races were incredibly exciting and we're pleased to announce our winners. Tied for 3rd place were Stella W and the Alyssa/Brianna N sisters. An impressive second place finish was achieved by Colette H. And winning the rocket replica in first place is Julia B! Congratulations to all of you for your successful build and to our winners.

The KM Forensics Team, where students speak with conviction, competed last Friday in our second meet at Silverbrook Intermediate School in West Bend. The team came away with 14 medals, a team record. Lucy G, Greta K, Cass N, Aayla J, Ben R, Kristin M, and Ben P all took home bronze medals in their respective categories. Sophia B and Jolie K took home silver medals and Bennett C, Anna M, Makenna H, Caylee H, and Grace K all earned gold medals for the Lasers. Congrats to the entire team. Now it’s time to continue improving our ability to speak with conviction and prepare for our meet on Friday at Holy Angels School in West Bend. 

Our U14 team is still looking to add a few more players to their roster.  If you know of any U14 aged girls (born 2009/2010) looking to play, please have them email kmfastpitch1@gmail.com or register HERE Tryouts are in July.
