WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Voting has closed and the Prism Arts Center (PAC) has officially been named. The voting was SO CLOSE that we have opted to add "Arts Center" to the official name to incorporate the KM PAC acronym. The Prism was one of over 250 suggestions submitted for consideration and came with a scientific explanation. Lasers are strong. When reflected through a prism, the beam can take different directions, but does not fragment like typical light. The analogy also applies to our students... as we learn and grow, we may take different paths, but we remain connected to our Laser Community. As a side note, we also host a very popular Prism concert each year. Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas and to the many students who voted! We are working on a new sign for the entry and are looking forward to our grand opening on January 21st. If you are interested in supporting the arts in the Kettle Moraine School District and attending our grand opening, we have a variety of sponsorship opportunities available at kmsd.edu/fa!

KMHS SENIOR WINS VOICE OF DEMOCRACY AWARD! Is our forefathers' vision instilled in our society today? The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and its Auxiliary invited students to submit an essay answering that question for a scholarship competition. Ian Daubert, a KMHS Senior, was awarded a Voice of Democracy Award Citation and Scholarship for his essay! Ian felt this essay opportunity was important to him as his Grandfather was a Veteran, and recognized he was learning a lot about these facts and the history of the Constitution in his AP Government class. With the help of Mr. Loizzo and Mrs. Hudson, he created a scholarship-winning, impactful essay regarding the vision of our forefathers in our current government. A special thank you to Tanya Kluck from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2260 in Oconomowoc for stopping in to give Ian his award!

ART OF WRITING!!! The Art of Writing is an annual event, organized by Terry and Janet Kaldhusal, that brings students from all over the state together to explore the Milwaukee Art Museum and share their inspiration through creative works. The daylong event groups students from different schools around common interests in writing, photography, 3D art, or sketching. The museum is closed to the general public, allowing young learners to take over the venue and find their "stories" in the various works. Each student is then tasked with creating an original story, photo, or piece of art that has been inspired by something in or around the museum. This is supported by several instructional videos to help them bring their own talent and perspective to their work and to provide constructive feedback for their peers. The students will prepare final works to submit for publication over the next month. The best works will then be published in a digital book at the end of the year. We will be featuring this event as a Capturing KM video in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

BREAKFAST WITH SANTA!!! We had another very successful Breakfast with Santa Saturday, bringing in hundreds of visitors from our KM Community and beyond. Thank you to all of the students and staff who performed and those who facilitated this wonderful event.

GET YOUR TICKETS TO INTO THE WOODS!!! This rousing musical will be held in the remodeled KM auditorium this Thursday through Saturday December 12-14 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, December 15 - 2:00 PM. The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make. The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Please note: This musical contains adult themes which may not be suitable for some young audience members. Adults: $15, Seniors (65+): $12, Students (K-12): $12. Tickets will be available online beginning Friday, November 8th at https://sites.google.com/a/kmsd.edu/kmperformmusical/home.
