WE HAVE SEATS... AND SO CAN YOU!!! We recently installed seats and carpeting in our revamped auditorium. It is no secret that facilities upgrades are both necessary and costly. We have partnered with our KM Community, through a facilities sponsorship program, to help make these upgrades possible. One such opportunity is the Buy a Seat Campaign: for $300 per seat you can make a one-time commitment that will help fund our new auditorium. This facility will be widely used by the district and our local community, and all seat sponsors will receive permanent recognition of your contribution on a plaque. The campaign will be first-come-first-served and will expire when all seats are sold. To learn more about the project, visit our site at https://www.kmsd.edu/o/kmsd/page/fine-arts-fund. To purchase a seat visit https://kettle-moraine-fine-arts-fund.square.site. Thank you for supporting our students and community!!
