Last week the HS^2 students helped finish up the last Elementary vision screenings with a visit to Wales Elementary Campus.
The pancake breakfast will be held in the cafeteria from 8:30-11:30am and tickets can be purchased with the QR code. It is $7 for kids under 10 and $12 for adults. The craft fair is free and runs from 8:30am-1pm with about 50 crafters participating. KMSD music groups play holiday music throughout the morning and the KMHS band plans activities for kids.

PERFECT ACT SCORE!
HS^2 student Ethan O. earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36!
Ethan earned his 36 when he took the test as a Junior on the statewide testing day last spring. Since the state testing results were embargoed, we couldn't celebrate him until the data was released TODAY! This is a tremendous achievement, and is also incredibly rare. Only one-fourth of one percent of ACT test takers receives a perfect score.
We are so proud of Ethan and his academic exceptionalism and can't wait to see what he does next!
WE'RE HOSTING A FOOD DRIVE
HS^2 is starting a Food Drive and we would love for you to get involved and help us out!
The Food Pantry will accept all donations that are not past date foods, but are looking specifically for the BIG 8 showed on the flyer.
You can drop off donations until November 20th to the KMHS front office, send donations with your student(s), or drop donations directly off at 1301 Sentry Drive!
KM Explore Pioneers (4th/5th Graders) visited HS^2 today! The Pioneer students tried out different HS^2 student-led experiments (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) in a round robin experience.
While the two schools are still figuring out how the partnership will look to fit the needs of KM Explore, everyone is very excited to collaborate! Stay tuned for more updates throughout the year!
KMHS CAMPUS RECOGNIZED AS AP® SCHOLAR HONOR ROLL SCHOOL! Schools included in this recognition have AP programs that are delivering results for students while broadening access.

HS^2 students are helping out with the Dousman Elementary Science Fair!
Today, Dousman students traveled to the High School Campus where they tried out different HS^2 student-led experiments (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) to jumpstart ideas for their own individual or collaborative science fair projects and also met with their High School mentors.
Moving forward, the Dousman and HS^2 students will have Google Meet mentoring sessions to work on their projects and prepare for the science fair presentations! We cannot wait to see what the students come up with!
More hands on experience for our HS^2 Fire and Rescue workshop students!
Our 2nd round Fire and Rescue Workshop students are getting hands-on experience this week at the Firehouse!
The deadline to sign up for exams, without an extra fee, is quickly approaching. Please ensure that you are enrolled in your courses in both Total Registration and AP Classroom., and pay within Total Registration.
If you do not pay your balance by the end of the day on November 6th, KM will cancel your order, which then results in having to sign up late, which requires a $44 late fee.
Here are directions to sign up for your exam in AP: https://kettlemorainesdwi.sites.thrillshare.com/o/hshs/page/advanced-placement-program
Forensic Science students began studying arson in this unit. This includes possible motives and clues to look for and the mechanisms for starting a fire. Students learned there are three things necessary for a fire to occur: fuel, heat, and oxygen. To study this further, students were challenged to build a model home with different fabrics and materials and set them on fire to study fire patterns.
Round two of our Intro to Fire and Rescue workshop started yesterday! This week students are gaining some background information, CPR training, and getting a look at some of the EMS equipment!
It was a great two weeks, but the first Fire and Rescue Workshop has come to an end. The good news? A new one starts next week!
