KM Habitat Restoration
by: Andrew Ksobiech
Before the habitat was destroyed it was home to Virginia Creepers and Wood Anemones. To bring back the once-thriving habitat, we plan to plant low-lying plants and transport sections of plants from other local areas into the new habitat. As a team, we also want to inform our peers on the topic of habitat destruction and encourage them to help. In an effort to fund the materials needed to replant the garden, we are asking for donations and for the project to be a community effort. When someone donates to help fund plants, seeds, and tools, they will receive a sticker as a reward for their efforts. We plan to design the custom stickers and use the school's resources to produce them. In the spring of 2025, we will start to replant the low-lying bush plants that once grew in that habitat.

Fundraiser for National History Day National Competition
by: Sara Otto
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. 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.

Donations Honoring Austin Workman
by: Jeremy Struss
Austin left this world far too soon, but he left behind a legacy of love, kindness, and service that will never be forgotten. He was a remarkable man, a devoted husband and father, and an inspiring human being. He truly was an angel to everyone that got to meet him. Austin was known for his genuine heart, strong work ethic, and ability to make everyone around him feel valued and appreciated. His warm smile, infectious laughter, and unwavering loyalty made a lasting impression on all who knew him. Always ready to lend a helping hand or offer encouragement, Austin made a difference in countless lives. In lieu of flowers, his family is providing an opportunity to donate money to Dousman Elementary, his daughters' school.
