Campus Physics students took their work to Six Flags yesterday! Students travelled to Six Flags to look at the physics of rollercoasters. Students collected data as they were on and amongst the coasters, looking at concepts of forces, acceleration, momentum, and energy transfer.
Spring workshops! More rocket making and some yarn and sewing work!
Spring HS^2 workshops are underway! Students are busy finishing up courses with book studies, math topics, water rockets, physics projects, and more!

FUNDING PULLED!!! PLEASE HELP KM STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN NATIONAL HISTORY DAY!!! 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.
