Hello KMMS Families,

I hope your October is going well.  Hard to believe that this school year has been underway for 7 weeks now.  There are many after school opportunities taking place that are awesome extensions of learning and fun activities for our Middle School students.   We have Forensics, Coding Club, Art Club, and National History Day, Student Senate, and soon to start are Math Club and Media Club.  We encourage students to get involved and join a club!  These are great opportunities for them to make some new connections and learn a new skill!

Next week you will be getting information about how to sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences.  Conferences are on the evening of 11/2 and the morning of 11/3. Please be on the look out for this sign up information early next week!  We are looking forward to seeing everyone.

Have a great weekend!

Did you know...

• There are 35 million amputees and disabled people worldwide who need prosthetic devices but do not have access to them?

• Traditional prosthetic legs cost between $10,000-$25,000 -- an unattainable price for someone making $3 per day

Ms. Pasternak and Mrs. Weske's Healthy & Active Lifestyles class are participating in a Virtual 5K to raise awareness for Hope to Walk. Hope to Walk is a non-profit organization that exists simply to help the impoverished people of the world to walk again. Millions of amputees worldwide depend on wheelchairs and crutches. Some are even forced to crawl simply because they cannot afford prosthetics. There is still time to donate or participate in the virtual 5K. Go to https://hopetowalk.networkforgood.com/projects/203726-kelly-weske-s-fundraiser for more details and to make a donation.

Last year, students raised enough money to purchase a leg for Santos, a 61-year old man from Honduras. Our goal this year is to raise enough money to purchase TWO (or more) prosthetic legs. 

Kettle Moraine Middle School is a proud partner of a non-profit organization called Blessings in a Backpack. Through this partnership, your child is eligible to be a recipient of the Blessings in a Backpack program. This program is currently in all of the Kettle Moraine Elementary schools.  

The program is designed to provide non-perishable food every Friday to children that
would benefit from supplemental nourishment over the weekend. The program runs the
full school year and there is no cost to participate. If you choose to participate, your child
will receive a bag of non-perishable food every Friday which will be distributed in a discreet and caring manner. This will begin Friday October 6th. 

If you want your child(ren) to participate, please complete this form.
