WINTER SPORTS ON DECK!!!! The girls basketball schedule is out, and we cannot wait!
Calm and Chair-Ful Zen Yoga!! Participants perform a series of gentle and fluid movements, stretches, and breathing exercises while seated on a stable chair or using it for balance and support. The emphasis is on promoting relaxation, flexibility, and a sense of well-being. This is a wonderful way for people of all backgrounds and abilities to experience the physical and mental benefits of yoga in a gentle and nurturing environment. It promotes not only physical well-being but also emotional and mental wellness, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a calming approach to health and relaxation. The class begins in January and will be offered at no charge to KM Staff as a way to promote health and wellness in the new year. Paid classes will also be offered to the public through Community Ed: https://kmsd.revtrak.net/rwcommunityeducation
Draft Night is over, but we are still looking to fill a few spots on the 3-4 girls teams. The season begins in December 2 and concludes in February.

Last week, KM Marketing and DECA students traveled into Milwaukee to learn directly from the business professionals. A brief bus tour of Milwaukee's Historic 3rd ward introduced students to some of the economic developments going on in the city. Next we were given a tour of the Laughlin/Constable Advertising Agency. Following the tour, students were escorted to the large conference room, where a team of professionals shared their roles and responsibilities as well as fielded questions from the student group. A quick lunch at Milwaukee's Public Market was a bit hit! Then off we went to the Fiserv Forum for a sports/entertainment tour of the facility. Special Guest and the "Original Buck" Jon McGlocklin put together a team of marketing and business professionals with another valuable panel discussion. A highlight of the trip was receiving personalized autographed photos from Mr. McGlocklin and the opportunity to try on the Bucks Championship Rings. A quick stop at the Halloween Express on the way home, prepared the group for the upcoming Halloween festivities. A special thanks to Chick-fil-a - Delafield who graciously provided breakfast sandwiches for the group to start off our day!
KM BOYS VOLLEYBALL PLAYED AT STATE!!! We'd like to congratulate the team and coaches on a fantastic season that earned them a spot in the State Championship at the Resch Center in Green Bay today.

KMHS BECOMES A MEDALLION MEMBER SCHOOL!!! By enrolling a U.S. Department of State-sponsored exchange student, KMHS demonstrates a commitment to
academic and cultural enrichment for our students through international exchange. This helps prepare visiting students to become global citizens and that in turn benefits our school by allowing them to share their countries and cultures.
NEW RECORD FOR DECA FOOD DONATIONS!!! Once again Kettle Moraine DECA partnered with Pick'n Save and Target to put on a community-wide food drive. DECA members drop off bags and flyers in the community, and pick up the filled bags in the days following. All donations are loaded into the Target truck parked outside Kettle Moraine High School and are delivered to the Waukesha Food Pantry. Each year, Mr. Dellis's Marketing Management class takes field trip to unload the truck. DECA's goal was to exceed their total weight for donations from last year, measured at just below 10,000 pounds. This year we came in at 10,140 pounds! Thank you to these amazing students, our commercial partners, and our generous KM Community for making this event such a success.

Irene Clewell served as a secretary in many of the schools that make up the Kettle Moraine School District. In November of 1965, she started working at Cushing Elementary while her three children were in classes there. One of her duties at that time was to sell school lunch tickets. She saw firsthand that some students didn’t have lunches and was aware that often there were those without pencils or notebooks for basic class work.
Moving to various grade schools, the high school, district offices, and then the middle school, Irene worked for KM for 31 years. She truly enjoyed her work with the principals, teachers, and her fellow secretaries.
During her tenure, she was dedicated to the effective functioning of the local schools, contributing her skills to help make a difference for the students. Her family thanks you for helping continue that spirit of contribution and service to education by donating to the KM Kids in Need fund: https://www.classmunity.com/kmsd/view-fundraiser.php?fundraiser_id=2301

KM ALUMS ARE DOING AMAZING THINGS! Jocelyn Heckenkamp graduated in the class of 2020 and was KMHS's valedictorian as well as a National Merit Scholar. She is still an academic super star, graduating with honors from the Marine Corps Base at Quantico's Platoon Leaders Course (PLC) with the highest overall GPA in her class. In addition to being an extraordinary student, Jocelyn competed in cross country, track & field, soccer and rock climbing while at KMHS. She was a three-time state champion in rock climbing and a champion in speed climbing. Her incredible mental and physical discipline will undoubtedly serve her well as she prepares to graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas. Congratulations Jocelyn! https://utdmercury.com/comet-brings-home-marine-corps-honors. Photo courtesy of U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Payton Goodrich
