Boys and girls track athletes will be competing this weekend in the State Track and Field Championships at UW Lacrosse. Stay tuned for a Capturing KM tomorrow featuring interviews with some of our coaches and athletes.
CUSHING STUDENTS PARTNER WITH THE BELFRE KITCHEN!!!! Cushing fifth graders got some real-world experience participating in a dine-in fundraiser today at the Belfre Kitchen in Delafield. Rather than just host an event, students rolled up their sleeves and worked as prep cooks, servers, hosts, baristas, dishwashers, and more! It was a great way for them to learn more about the food service industry and all of the different jobs that support a successful restaurant. Amy, the owner, and all of her staff had wonderful things to say about the Cushing students and their willingness to help wherever they were needed. We are so grateful to these incredible community partners for providing this opportunity. It was a beautiful day and parents, staff, students, and even restaurant guests, seemed to enjoy the festivities!
KMMS ATTENDS BAND FESTIVAL!!! Our KMMS 8th Grade Bands traveled to the Beyond the Notes Festival at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Students performed a concert, participated in clinics, received feedback on their performance, and enjoyed time in the water and adventure parks. The students did a wonderful job!
THANKS TO THE FANS!!! A few of our students sent off their favorite track stars with a bit of fanfare and some homemade signs as they head to the State Championship. We are so proud of the way our student community supports one another. GO KM!!!!
THANKS TO WALMART!! Our local Walmart donated 2000 bottles of water for graduates at our commencement ceremony Saturday. We appreciate your partnership!!
