KMMPA ENDS IT'S YEAR ON HIGH NOTE!!! KM Music Parents Association would like to express our sincere appreciation to all those who attended music events this year and donated generously to support our outstanding KM music programs. We raised over $7,300 and awarded $6,500 in grants to music teachers. Those grants included new recording software, music education opportunities for teachers and transportation to music festivals where our students performed – just to name a few.
We are also very excited about the upcoming transformation of the high school auditorium space that will support students throughout KM for future performances. To learn more about the improvements you can click here https://www.kmsd.edu/o/kmsd/page/fine-arts
and you can donate to the Fine Arts Fund at https://kettle-moraine-fine-arts-fund.square.site/?source=qr-code to support these renovations. Congratulations to all students on the amazing year of music at KM and especially to our graduating seniors! And remember to save the date for our 2024 Homecoming Chili/Mac N Cheese Dinner fundraiser on Friday Sept 27th.
