KMMS ORCHESTRA IS ELECTRIC!!!! Seventh and eighth grade orchestra students have begun a unit exploring electric instruments and digital sound production with Ms. Weber.

Students have enjoyed this modernized unit, and have already requested opportunities to perform on these instruments at upcoming concerts!
The electric instruments and accessories are property of KM, and have been acquired over the years through support of the Kettle Moraine Music Parents’ Association, corporate partnerships, as well as generous private donations.

DEPUTY CATTANI, KMMS SRO, DISCUSSES INTERNET SAFETY WITH CUSHING 4TH AND 5TH GRADERS!!! She shared valuable insights with our students and staff to protect them as they utilize online media and communications. Her experience as a student resource officer and background in law enforcement was extremely beneficial in helping students better understand the potential risks of these platforms. "I emphasized the importance of online safety, responsible device use, and the significance of open communication between students, guardians, and staff members. The students were highly receptive to the lesson, very interactive, and asked some great questions. This lesson taught principles that are important to reinforce at home to further support a safe and positive online environment," said Deputy Cattani.
