KMMS STUDENTS BECOME PUBLISHED!!! Pictured here is 6th-grade artist Ava M., whose published artwork, Metamorphosis, beautifully captures the journey of growth and change. Making tough decisions is a major part of growth and the transformation toward independence for middle school students, and Ava recently faced a classic dilemma when conflicting schedules arose. She had to choose between attending the regional awards ceremony or an end-of-the-year field trip with her sixth-grade peers. Ultimately, she chose her friends over the public recognition, highlighting a poignant phase of the importance of friendships in middle school. This special volume, showcasing Ava’s work alongside fellow talented Kettle Moraine published contributors: Jasper P., Jo L., Autumn P., Brooks B., Halle W., Makenzie D., Maya H., Norah F., and Sawyer T. The book will be permanently housed in the KMMS Library as an inspiring creative legacy. Photo Credit: Maureen Hoffman
GRAFFITI PARTY!!! Cushing's “Graffiti Party” sent all Cushing Stars into summer with paint-covered hands, a colorful playground, and a little excitement as they head into break.

AED DONATIONS!!! KM is incredibly grateful to the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation for their donation of 17 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). This gift will help strengthen student, staff, and community safety by providing life saving equipment in our schools. The foundation is committed to charitable efforts that support health, safety, education, and community service across Wisconsin. "We believe strongly in supporting initiatives that protect and enhance the well-being of our communities,” said Peter Tourville, President of the Wisconsin Masonic Foundation. “We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Kettle Moraine School District in providing these AEDs, which can make a critical difference in emergency situations. The safety of students, educators, families, and visitors is something we all share responsibility for, and we are proud to contribute to that mission.” The Foundation also recognized the important role of ZOLL as the AED supplier partner in helping make the initiative possible and for the efforts of district leadership. “We are pleased to work alongside ZOLL, whose commitment to innovation and lifesaving technology aligns closely with our mission of community care and public safety. Strong partnerships like this help expand access to critical emergency response resources throughout Wisconsin. We also deeply value the work being done by the Kettle Moraine School District and appreciate the dedication of everyone involved in creating a safe and supportive environment for students to learn and thrive."
GRADUATES RETURN TO THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS!!! Each year, Kettle Moraine graduates return to their elementary schools to reconnect with former teachers and encourage younger students. The visits give graduates a chance to reflect on how far they have come while elementary students enjoy meeting and learning from older students they admire. These traditions highlight the strong connections across the district and the spirit of One KM.
WALES CAMPUS END OF YEAR ASSEMBLY!!! Today, Wales Elementary celebrated the close of another wonderful school year with a fun-filled assembly honoring special traditions and cherished staff members.

The assembly also included the “Keys to Success” tradition as kindergartners passed letters of wisdom to their 5th grade buddies, while the 5th graders created special keychains for the kindergartners to remember them by. To top off the excitement, Mrs. Balzer took one for the team and got “pied” in front of the school, proving once again that she is a great sport!
