KM CONTINUES PARTNERSHIP WITH MILWAUKEE BUILDER'S ASSOCIATION PLAY HOME PARADE!!!! KM students will be building three play houses this year for The Milwaukee Builders Association parade of play homes. Mr. Bruening's architecture class designed the houses and his construction class is in the process of building them. This hands-on project pairs high school students with professional builders to form relationships and learn from their experience. This year, KM students have been working with Espire Homes and Victory Homes. The play houses be on display in early January at the builders show, where they will be auctioned off and utilized for student scholarships. We are always excited to feature students pursuing their dreams through the many pathways offered at KM. Thank you Mr. Bruening for making these valuable connections!

KMSD'S MUSIC PROGRAM IS MULTI-FACETED!!! The robust music curriculum in KM goes far beyond concerts and performances. A well-balanced music education requires students to undertake major academic work including deciphering a rich content-specific vocabulary, decoding music notation with fluency, speed, and accuracy, and analysis and application of expressive intent and contextual connections. In addition to the academic and performative skills that students develop through music participation, our KM students also apply their musical talents to serve the local KM community, in alignment with the Graduate Profile. Here you see middle school orchestra students undertaking a process known as 'score study'. After analyzing a piece of music as a group, students make determinations about whether the piece is appropriate for their ensemble. Students love to choose the music they study and perform!
