“FOREVER LOVE IT” SUPPORTS THE INCLUSION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES! Bobby Heckel believes every child deserves the chance to enjoy the joy and benefits of sports, regardless of their ability. His passionate belief stems from his grandmother Ila’s profound love and persistent support for him as she helped him learn to walk, talk, and develop to the point where he could play sports, something he had always dreamed of despite his cerebral palsy. Yesterday, a 50/50 raffle was held at a Dockhounds game, and the raffle winner was a KM family whose son played baseball at KMHS. They chose to support Adaptive PhyEd at KMHS with their $400 winnings! THANK YOU Bobby and our winning KM Family!
2024 KMHS FOOTBALL PACKER TICKET FUNDRAISER!
Through a generous donation from a KM football family, we have an amazing opportunity for a chance to WIN 4 tickets to the Dec. 23rd, 7:15 pm Monday Night Green Bay Packer vs the New Orleans Saints game at Lambeau Field.
The 4 tickets are in section 435 outdoor club seating. From outdoor club seats, you can go inside, sit at a bar, order food, and watch the game from inside. The picture is a view from the seats, also from these seats you can take an elevator up to the south scoreboard loft & bar area which is a great place to view the stadium and Green Bay and watch the flyover if there is one.
Each ticket costs $50 and there is a 200-ticket sellout so everyone who purchases a ticket has a 1/200 chance of winning! All tickets must be purchased by 9/30/24. https://www.classmunity.com/kmsd/view-fundraiser.php?fundraiser_id=2543
The drawing will take place at the 10/11/24 football game and the winner will be contacted.
All funds from this fundraiser will go to equipment upgrades to help make our football season a huge success! If you aren't interested in the Packer Tickets you can still donate to the football program at the classmunity link.

Approximately 4% of school districts nationally earn this designation annually. Kettle Moraine prepares the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report to: Show our community that we are committed to transparent stewardship of public funds.
