CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE WAR!
A few of our lucky administrators and teachers were very eager judges who indulged in a Chocolate Chip Cookie War this afternoon!
Our talented Foods for Life class hosted this tasty event to showcase ways one recipe can be brought to life in fresh and deliciously unique cookies. While the ingredients were the same, each batch was a surprise—from chewy and gooey to crispy perfection and everything in between. It was a culinary battle where no two cookies were alike, and the smallest tweak or technique made all the difference!
The judges rated each cookie on texture, taste, and appearance. Rumor has it, that students pulled out their secret tips: extra chill time for the dough, a pinch of salt on top, or that magic touch only a true cookie artist can master.
The cookies ALL smelled and tasted amazing!
And the winners were... our judges because they LOVED the cookies... and...
Best-looking cookies: Riley Baenen and Ella Lephardt
Best-tasting cookies: Xander Olson-Turinske

GUEST CONDUCTOR FUNDRAISER!!!
KM band programs are running an auditorium fundraiser that allows audience members to submit a silent bid to conduct Wind Symphony on a tune during the District Band Festival. At each concert, we will be informing the audience what the current high bid is and if we have hit our minimum. As a way to kick this off, we did a playful auction "bit" with the audience last night, during our auditorium soft open/pep band concert. We didn't expect any takers, but Mr. Gerber jumped in much to the delight of the audience!
He did a great job and will serve as a wonderful example of what is yet to come.

KM DECA ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE!
The annual food drive for KM DECA began on Tuesday, October 15th, and runs until Monday, October 28th this year.
The drive has been happening annually at Kettle Moraine High School for over 50 years and we have expanded its positive effects on our community since then. Students who are a part of DECA or who are in one of Mr. Dellis' marketing classes have the opportunity to give back to their community by distributing bags for food donations in nearby neighborhoods and then collecting the filled bags to be transported to Waukesha Food Pantry to help those in need.
We are very thankful to Pick 'N Save for providing the bags we use for collection and Target for providing the trailer that transports the food to Waukesha Food Pantry.
Last year we collected 10,000 pounds of food and this year our goal is to collect 11,000 pounds!
One important aspect of our DECA chapter is community service and the annual food drive is one of our many service activities.
Stay tuned for our Holiday Drive coming soon!
