GREAT TRACK MEET!!!
Recently the boys and girls HS Track & Field teams competed at the Nelson Daniels Invite at UW Whitewater. Both teams earned a 2nd place finish out of 24 teams, our highest finish ever at the ND Classic.
While there were many great performances during the day, 3 events highlighted the Lasers success. On the boys side the 4x800 relay had a phenomenal comeback win on the anchor leg run by Ryan Keller. Keller got the baton in 6th place and came roaring back after the first lap to take the lead heading into the home stretch.
On the girls side the 4x200 and 4x400 relays ran into the record books. The 4x200 took second overall but set the indoor school record with a 1:50.28. (Ranked 3rd in the state) In the 4x400 relay the girls crushed the field cruising to victory with a school record time of 4:10.97. This time currently ranks them 2nd in the state!

SAVE THE DATE FOR HONK – A Musical Tale of "The Ugly Duckling!" Since it first hatched in 1993, Stiles & Drewe's musical, Honk!, has winged its way around the world in over 8,000 productions and in many different languages. Winner of multiple awards, including the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Musical, this heartwarming celebration of being different is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit and memorable score. Ugly looks quite a bit different from his darling duckling brothers and sisters. The other animals on the farm are quick to notice and point this out, despite his mother's protective flapping. Feeling rather foul about himself, the little fowl finds himself on an adventure of self-discovery, all the while unknowingly outwitting a very hungry Cat. Along the way, Ugly meets a whole flock of unique characters and finds out that being different is not a bad thing to be. With its bouncing score and universal story, this touching musical with plenty of heart will captivate audiences of all ages.

2024 CARSON SCHOLARS!!! Addison Foss (KMHS) has been named for the first time as a Carson Scholar. Addison will win a $1,000 college scholarship as part of her award. Emma Manion (HS^2) and Reese Albert (KMHS) were recognized by the Carson Scholars organization for their continued achievement and humanitarian efforts in our community. They are repeat applicants, so are recognized each year they apply. They do not win a scholarship again, but it says a great deal about these young ladies that they continue that same level of commitment to the organization. The Carson Scholars Fund awards scholars in grades 4-11 who demonstrate the highest standard of academic achievement, integrity, and civic and social responsibility.

SHOUT OUT TO CLUE CAST AND CREW!!! I cannot say enough about the quality of this show! If you saw it, you are probably still talking about it. In fact, I did not have a clue how a) the butler remembered all of those lines b) they transitioned the set in and out of rooms so smoothly c) the bodies remained so lifeless and limp as they were dragged and dropped or d) how perfectly every cast blended into their characters. BRAVO!!!!!!

KM CONNECT STUDENT CREATES AMAZING REPURPOSED VERSION OF STARRY NIGHT!! Delia is such a joy, and we are incredibly thrilled with her unique artwork. She gathered her materials from found items in her Grandpa Joel and Great Grandpa Jim's workshops. She also scavenged office supplies from her mom, to achieve the beautiful blue paper clip sky. Family members and neighbors saved their can tabs, and the moon is the top of a pasta sauce jar. All of this was done independently through KM Connect's virtual academy and Mr. Langanecker's class. Great work Delia!!!
