AP CAPSTONE AWARDS!!! Congratulations to our 2026 AP Capstone Award recipients: Connor F., Tommy M., Henry S., and Breleigh W. AP Capstone is a two-year College Board program that develops research, analysis, evidence-based argument, collaboration, writing, and presentation skills through two year-long courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. Students earn the AP Capstone Diploma by successfully completing both courses and four additional AP exams during high school. AP exams have the potential to save KM students significant college tuition costs. Based on last year’s test-takers, AP exams potentially saved KM students in grades 9–12 approximately $1.5 million in tuition. KM encourages students to challenge themselves through AP coursework and currently offers 21 AP courses, with more under consideration. Opportunities span art, computer science, English, math, music, science, social studies, and more. AP Parent Night is also a great opportunity for 7th and 8th grade families to learn about pre-AP opportunities and begin preparing for high school. Join us October 7 from 7:00–8:00 p.m. to learn more about AP opportunities at KMHS, or visit kmsd.edu/ap.

JOIN THE KMHS CANCER AWARENESS CLUB!!! Students are invited to join the Cancer Awareness Club, a place to support one another, raise awareness and make a difference in our community. The club will typically meet during advisory 1–2 times per month on a Tuesday or Thursday. Club members will raise money for various cancer organizations and have opportunities to connect and share their experiences with cancer, if they choose. The club will provide support for students and the broader community. We are kicking off the year with a Pink Out at the September 25 football game and participating in Walk for the Cure on September 27. KM pink gear will also be available for purchase before the game. Sign up during club sign-up week at lunch or contact prokoph@kmsd.edu to get involved.

LEARN MORE ABOUT KM COMMUNITY CENTER (KMCC) PRE-ELEMENTARY PROGRAMS!!! We will be at the elementary Back to School Bashes this week, so look for our table to talk with us about the community center! Does your child miss the 9/1 cutoff for public school 4K, but is showing readiness? Our preschool program at the Kettle Moraine Community Center at Magee is thoughtfully designed for children in that age range who turn 3.5 by the starting date for any of our September through May sessions. Each session runs for 6 weeks and you may sign up for more than one, as registration becomes available. In our nurturing and playful indoor and outdoor environments, this program mirrors our current Forest 4K class (non-academic portions) with a focus on hands-on experiences. Children will enjoy story time, explore fine and gross motor activities, and spend time in nature through unstructured, imaginative play in our beautiful outdoor classroom.

CUSHING BACK TO SCHOOL BASH!!!
