NATIONAL HISTORY DAY INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION WINNERS AND FUNDRAISER!!! Three Kettle Moraine students were named state champions at Saturday’s National History Day (NHD) competition held at UW–Madison. They will now advance to the national contest in June, where they will present their research alongside students from across the U.S. and around the world. Recently, the NHD program experienced unexpected financial challenges due to cancelled grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. This means schools must fundraise to participate in the valuable academic competition. You can contribute on Classmunity at https://www.classmunity.com/kmsd/view-fundraiser.php?fundraiser_id=2764. Sixth graders Cecilia H. and Reagan H. earned top honors for their website, Balancing Individual Rights and Shared Responsibilities in a Democratic Society, which explored the history of Social Security. HS^2 junior Emma Manion won first place for her individual performance titled, Ada Deer: Rights and Responsibilities in the Pursuit of Restoration of the Menominee Indian Tribe. Each year, approximately 500,000 students participate in NHD, including 10,000 from Wisconsin. This achievement is a tremendous honor for both the students and the Kettle Moraine School District. The cost for each student to attend the national event—held at the University of Maryland’s College Park campus—is significant. Registration is approximately $165, with lodging and meals totaling around $606. Travel expenses add another $600 per student.

A group of HS^2 students presented today at Wales Elementary Campus Science Day, giving the Elementary students some exposure to Physics and Chemistry! In the Physics sessions students looked at how light behaves by completing mirror mazes, making UV bead bracelets, making kaleidoscopes, and looking at optical illusions. The Chemistry sessions were a little bit messier focusing on reactions while making slime!
Green day yesterday! It was a typical day of kids all around reading, studying, diamond painting, board games, yarn work, and way more!
Sophomores and Juniors - are you interested in going on the HS^2 Panama Service Trip your Senior year? Make sure to attend the informational meeting!
