DISTRICT NEWS
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
Voting has closed and the Prism Arts Center (PAC) has officially been named. The voting was SO CLOSE that we have opted to add "Arts Center" to the official name to incorporate the KM PAC acronym. The Prism was one of over 250 suggestions submitted for consideration and came with a scientific explanation. Lasers are strong. When reflected through a prism, the beam can take different directions, but does not fragment like typical light. The analogy also applies to our students... as we learn and grow, we may take different paths, but we remain connected to our Laser Community. As a side note, we also host a very popular Prism concert each year. Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas and to the many students who voted! We are working on a new sign for the entry and are looking forward to our grand opening on January 21st. If you are interested in supporting the arts in the Kettle Moraine School District and attending our grand opening, we have a variety of sponsorship opportunities available at kmsd.edu/fa!

ELEMENTARY NEWS
Pioneer Garden-to-Table
Pioneers have shown great interest in the school garden. They harvested crops in early fall and made “scissor salsa,” pesto, beet chips, vegetable soup, and marinara. They extended their learning by visiting the West Allis farmer’s market and learning more about fruits and vegetables. This led to the desire to create a “Garden to Table” meal to share with their families. They decided on pasta with pesto, marinara, bread sticks, salad, and desserts. They researched fall lettuce, experimenting with several growing environments. They researched and wrote informational pieces to showcase at the dinner. With the help and guidance of Jim Rydzik from Pizza Guy, they made homemade breadsticks. They also created invitations, wrote and produced commercials, and used math to determine costs. They perfected their presentation and customer service skills by greeting and presenting the menu, serving and cleaning up. It was a great night!
