Summer Academy Offers New Format, Sign-Up is Open!!

KMSD will offer a face-to-face Summer Academy beginning in June, 2021. District mitigation strategies, family cooperation and desire suggest a face-to-face program is best for our Kettle Moraine community. District staff and attending students will continue with appropriate mitigation strategies including hand-washing, hand-sanitizing, and face coverings.

Elementary students will be grouped in cohorts by grade level or grade-band, similar to classrooms this year. Middle school students will have the opportunity to register for themed pathways in a face-to-face environment and high school credit courses will continue to run much the same as in the past.

Blessings in a Backpack 4K!

On your mark, get set…GO! The Waukesha County Bolt 4 Blessings 4K Challenge is a fun, virtual physical fitness challenge the whole team can enjoy. Just count your steps/miles on a treadmill, your walk-the-dog hike, run, walk, or whatever gets you MOVING! This virtual event is scheduled for a 10-day timeframe from May 15 through May 25 to give everyone ample time to complete their unique version of a 4K. You can hop, skip, jump, run or roll your way to 4K!

You might be wondering why 4 kilometers and a fee ending in $4. The number 4 is special to the Blessings in a Backpack mission. Just $4 helps feed one child in Waukesha County for a weekend. The family registration fee of $130 feeds a child over the weekend for an entire school year. For less than a cup of coffee at your favorite coffee shop, you can help feed a child over the weekend or for an entire school year. So…

Grab your family and friends!
Head out to your favorite park or trail!
Or hop on that Peleton, run, walk, skip, step, or roll your way to 4K!
