Our middle school track team displayed  a lot of grit this week against 23 other schools at our Mukwonago relay meet. Many fifth and sixth place finishes for our ladies team as well as our boys team. Congratulations to our seventh grade long jump team made up of Evan Gerber, Otto Embry and Jackson Marquardt, with a second place finish!  The coaches were so impressed with the amount of effort each athlete showed. Next week will be getting ready for our conference meet on May 19!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an annual observance initiated in 1949 by Mental Health America (MHA) to reduce stigma, educate the public, and advocate for policies supporting people with mental health conditions. Wearing green throughout the month or sharing your stories with others can help spread awareness. The organizations that promote Mental Health Awareness Month emphasize that seeking help is a sign of strength. This month is a reminder that mental health is as important as physical health, and that help is available.  Want to have a deeper conversation about mental health?  Contact your trusted adult!

The Kettle Moraine Youth Volleyball Committee is excited to announce that assessments for the Fall 2026 season will be held in May!  Boys and girls entering grades 5-8 in the fall of 2026 are eligible to participate in the league. While these are not “try outs” in the traditional sense as each child will have a spot, rather they will be assessments on skill level to determine which team (A, B, or C) your child will be placed on. Practices are held twice per week August-October with league play on the weekends. Enrollment is limited. 

Dates: May 12th, 14th and 15th

        Incoming 5th and 6th grade from 6pm until 7pm at KMHS West Gym
        Incoming 7th and 8th grade from 7:30pm until 9pm at KMHS West Gym

 The first two dates are required with the third date highly encouraged.

Our goal is to create a positive experience giving athletes multiple opportunities to showcase their skills without the stress of a single assessment day. For further information or to register, visit www. https://kettlemorainevolleyball.sportngin.com/.  Sign up today and we look forward to seeing your athlete on the court in May!
