THE HOMECOMING PARADE WILL BE EVEN BETTER (AND LONGER) THIS YEAR!!! We have expanded our parade route to accommodate all of the amazing clubs and activities that will be participating. The parade will start at Wales Elementary at 5:15 on Friday, October 11!!
Circumstances require that we push all homecoming activities out two weeks (10/7-10/12). The game will now be held on 10/11 against Pewaukee, our next home game after Friday. The dance will take place on 10/12. The high school has been closed for the week due to extensive flooding. This has severely impacted planning, staffing, and facilities for these activities. We have determined the location of the collapsed pipe and the damage will be repaired this afternoon. Restoration and environmental cleaning services remain on site remediating water damage. We realize the impact that this unforeseen emergency has had on our KM Community. Thank you for your patience as we work to make our school safe and fully functional for our students and community.
