KM Shines At MKE Maker Faire

On September 14 and 15, nine Kettle Moraine students in grades seven through nine helped run the Kettle Moraine booth at the Milwaukee Maker Faire in downtown Milwaukee.

The Maker Faire is a convention for designers to showcase their creations and also for attendees to interact with many of the creations. Our KM students showcased their products (like Addie's lapdesk - see link below) AND their learning with an authentic audience. The public was extremely impressed with what our students were up to!

Meet New KM Staff: CFO John Stellmacher

Kettle Moraine School District's new Chief Financial Officer John Stellmacher joins the district at a crucial crossroads. Following a failed operational referendum in April and knee deep in an ultra-complex public education landscape, John was approached about the position and his answer was a resounding "yes!"

"The culture of this district really brought me to Kettle Moraine," said Stellmacher. "We live in a complex era for public education, but as a new employee for KMSD, I feel blessed to be surrounded by critical thinkers and innovators who are committed to finding solutions for challenging problems."
