Our auditorium renovation is getting close to completion, and it is time to start thinking about naming this beautiful venue. While we have a generous naming sponsor, their hope is that our students have ownership of the project and select the name. So we are calling on our KM Community to start the process by submitting your naming suggestions. The submission process will close November 20th. Then, our team will narrow down the options to a group of preferred names for students to vote on. The final name will be unveiled at our grand opening early next year. Submit your naming ideas!

The DECA Food Drive runs until Monday, October 28. This annual event has been making a positive impact in our community for over 50 years and is coordinated by students in DECA or Mr. Dellis' marketing classes. Students collect bags of food donations in local neighborhoods and transport them in a donated semi to Waukesha Food Pantry. We are very thankful to Pick 'N Save for providing the bags and Target for providing transportation. Last year we collected 10,000 pounds of food and our current goal is to increase that to 11,000 pounds!

Kelly Weske, has spent her summers working as an international mountain guide since 2012. Her employer also operates a non-profit that cares for children, adults and families with special needs and/or life-changing medical obstacles. Naturally, she has become involved in these efforts, helping to build an orphanage, medical and dental clinic, and woman's support center that is currently under construction. In 2022, they partnered with the nonprofit Hope to Walk to build a Prosthetic Center in Arusha, Tanzania. Ms. Weske was so moved by this work, she introduced their mission to her Healthy & Active Lifestyles students through participating in a virtual 5K fundraiser. Her students have become so invested in making a difference that they raised $750 dollars this year. That is enough to give three people the ability to walk through the use of prosthetic limbs!! Millions of amputees worldwide depend on wheelchairs and crutches, or even crawling, simply because commercial prosthetics ($10,000 - $25,000) are completely out of reach. Hope To Walk’s legs are locally produced, using available materials, for only $250! Thank you Kelly for inspiring our young learners to care about global health initiatives and have the incredible opportunity of changing lives!
