KM GLOBAL STUDENT RAISES MONEY FOR UKRAINE!!
Jack Curty, a competitive fencer at Ataba Fencing Club and KM Global senior, would like to invite you to his Senior Capstone, Fencing for Ukraine. At KM Global, each senior is required to conduct a capstone project which is a student-led community service project that aims to raise money for either a local or global purpose. For Jack's capstone, he decided to use his love of fencing to support the millions of families displaced by the war in Ukraine. All proceeds will go to the charity organization CARE, which sends support directly into Ukraine and neighboring countries in the form of food, medical supplies, humanitarian aid packages and more.
Dietmar Schultke spoke to KMMS students about his firsthand experience living behind the Iron Curtain, his longing for freedom, and his exhilaration when the Berlin Wall finally fell. He explained how he realized, at their age, that he was living under a fascist regime in East Germany and how they controlled all of the information he received. Schultke, now residing in reunified Germany, found his way to Kettle Moraine Middle School thanks to two sixth-graders, Avery G. and Faye M. Intrigued by his research on the fall of the Berlin Wall, they discovered a lecture he had given at a German museum on YouTube. Through a Google Meet online call, the girls interviewed Schultke for their National History Day project, which ultimately led to his visit to the U.S. and his talk at the middle school. The girls' documentary, which includes Mr. Schultke, focuses on a single rock ‘n’ roll concert that inspired the young East Germans to challenge the government and bring down the wall. Their video, one of three at a regional competition, will be competing at the state level in Madison on April 20th.
Good Luck at the Special Olympics Max!
Max Stritzel, a KMHS 12th grader, along with KM alumni Michael Graef and Max Brim, will compete in the Special Olympics State Basketball game this weekend at UW Oshkosh.
