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.

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 to October 15) to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success.  According to History.com, the term Hispanic or Latino refers to a person’s culture or origin—regardless of race. On the 2020 Census form, people were counted as Hispanic or Latino or Spanish if they could identify as having Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or “another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin.”  Look forward to more Hispanic Heritage Month announcements on Blue Days in September!  And as always, if you’d like to be on the morning announcements, contact Mr. Korb (korbstephen@kmsd.edu).

The Kettle Moraine Equestrian Team will be competing at our regional competition on September 23-24th at the Walworth County Fairgrounds in Elkhorn, WI. Please come watch and help cheer us on as we compete against other schools in our district!

Good luck!

Attention 8th grade students ~ The Explorers’ Club will start off the year with an 8th grade trip to Six Flags for an evening at Fright Fest. This is a fun trip that is very popular with our students. We will leave the Middle School after school on Friday October 13th, and return to the Middle School at approximately 11:45pm that evening. Parent chaperones are needed for this trip. Parent chaperone names and the student permission forms are due Thursday September 21st. You can get a permission slip from Mrs. Hoff, Ms. Ludeman, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Gehrke or from the office. See Mrs. Hamilton with questions.

The KM National History Day team will meet Wednesday, after school until 4 PM in Room 603. This year's theme is Turning Points in History. A turning point is more than just an important event that happened a long time ago. It is more than a new idea or a particular action taken by an individual. A turning point is an idea, event, or action that directly, or sometimes indirectly, causes change. As Gandhi once said, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." This quote serves as a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to create positive change in our lives and communities. Start that change by joining the KM NHD Team. Popcorn and hot chocolate will be served.

Our first meeting is Tuesday, September 26th - hope to see you there!

Picture make-up day is on October 11th.

Help make the Student Senate an active and productive organization in our school.  We are looking for a group of students who are interested in planning and developing FUN, camaraderie, and service at the Middle School.  

Student Senate will help plan some of the fun in our middle school like dances, staff/student competitions, recognitions and more. Come and join this fun group!

Student Senate will meet twice a month on alternating Mondays and Wednesdays after school in the 6Discover House Open area. First meeting will be on Wednesday, September 20th!

It’s a great day… to be a LASER!
