Welcome to the latest edition of KMaiL, a weekly e-mail update from Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School. 

 

- - KML HIGH SCHOOL NEWS AND INFORMATION - - 

= YOUR GIFTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE… =

   When you become a Builder by setting up a new or increased auto-withdrawal account for at least 12 months, we have a donor that will give $500 to KML!! This is a great way to multiply your gift. Simply go to www.kmlhs.org/autogift where you can sign up online or print the form and mail it in. Your support is building a strong ministry and helping the students build their Christian faith.

= WINTER DRAMA - FATHER OF THE BRIDE =

   Mark your calendars for the winter drama, Father of the Bride.  This comedy in three acts by Caroline Franke (based on the novel Father of the Bride by Edward Streeter) is one you won’t want to miss! Performances will take place February 20 at 7:00 p.m., February 21 at 7:00 p.m., and February 22 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale NOW, and they can be ordered by calling the KML main office (262-677-4051) or emailing Wendy Robinson (wendy.r...@kmlhs.org). Ticket prices are for general admission seating: Adults, $8; Seniors (65-up), Students (K-12) - $6. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. All seating is general admission, and the inside doors to the PAC Auditorium will open one half hour before showtime. Once purchased, tickets cannot be returned; however, they may be exchanged for a different performance date. For more information, visit www.kmlhs.org/drama, or contact Mrs. Erin Laabs at erin....@kmlhs.org or 262-677-4051 x1167. 

= COUNTDOWN TO 2015 MASQUERADE BALL BEGINS =

   Saturday, April 18, marks the date for this year’s auction to be held at the River Club of Mequon.  Proceeds will go toward the Student Tuition Fund and non-budgeted items needed by the Athletic Department.  We are always looking for unique items for our Silent and Live Auctions.  Do you have a particular craft or service you could offer up for bid (valued at $50 or more)?  Car detailing, window washing, and yard work are always big hits!

   Plan a trip to New Orleans for jazz and dining!  This item will be featured in the Live Auction and includes round-trip coach class airfare for two to New Orleans, a three-night stay at the Hyatt French Quarter, VIP admission for two to the Preservation Hall of Jazz, and a choice of brunch or three-course dinner at Commander’s Palace Restaurant.  Winspire booking and concierge service will help make your trip worry-free!

   For up-to-date information, go to kmlhs.org/auction.  Contact Geoff Ziesemer (414-397-4550 or geoff.z...@yahoo.com) about various sponsor opportunities for your company ranging from $250-$4,000.

= CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED FOR CHARITY AUCTION =

   There are many ways to make a contribution to this year's Charity Auction.  We are always looking for items to be used in either the Silent or Live Auction.  Cash donations are always welcome!  Your company can be a Masquerade Ball Sponsor for $250 or there are also opportunities to be a Sponsor for the Wine Raffle, Beer Raffle or the Specialty Drink.  The opportunity is still open to become the Main Event Sponsor too!  For more information on how to become a Sponsor, contact Geoff Ziesemer at 414-397-4550 or geoff.z...@yahoo.com .

   The Art Department is helping with decorations for the Auction again this year and need the following supplies:  Black heavy-weight paper, metallic Sharpie permanent markers, Sharpie WATER-BASED paint markers, Metallic Star Stickers, Stick-on jewels or other "bedazzlements."  Donated items may be dropped off in the front office.  Please deliver them by March 1.

   The Auction Committee is also looking for feathers, gems, ribbons, jewels, (and any other embellishments!) to be used to decorate masks for the Masquerade Ball.  These items may be dropped off in the school office.

= S(ubstitute) C(ash) R(ebate) I(ncentive) P(rogram) =

   Planning to get away over Spring Break this year. Why not utilize Scrip cards for your hotel, gas, and/or meals. Hotels like Comfort Suites (3-4%), Clarion (3-4%), Hyatt (10%) and Marcus Resorts (9%) can be purchased to help earn money towards your child's tuition. It's a simple way for you to earn a reward while taking your family vacation.  We still have some small denomination gift cards on hand from Target $10 and Walmart $10.

   For more information visit www.kmlhs.org/scrip.  For questions call 262-677-4051 x1119 or email sc...@kmlhs.org. Scrip Office Hours are: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 - 3. CLOSED TUESDAY.

= REMEMBER ECHO FEST? =

We’re going retro this year for Family Music Fest 2015!  Remember Echo Fest?  Do you still have an old Echo Fest admission button floating around?  Please reserve Friday, April 17, from 5:00-9:00 pm for Retro Fest.  This event will support our music department.  In addition to our elementary school and high school musical performances, we will feature a chili dinner, games, auctions, and the dessert bar and will showcase the Grade School Art Fair exhibits.  Join us for a night of music, food, and family fun with some new surprises, special guests, and trips down memory lane.  Anyone presenting an Echo Fest button at the door will receive free admission!

 

We are asking for pie and basket donations for auction.  Please consider helping!  If you have questions or would like to volunteer or join the Family Music Fest Committee, please contact Andrea Semmann (414-588-7725 or alse...@gmail.com) or Ann Jahns (414-659-1511 or jahns...@yahoo.com).

= DONKEYBALL THANK YOU =

   The Charger Club would like to thank everyone who attended the Donkey Basketball event on February 15th.  We had roughly 400 people in attendance and raised $2500 in ticket sales, raffle items and concessions to go toward the cost of replacing two Automated External Defibrillator units at KML.  A big thank you also to the KML students and staff (both KML and Federation Grade Schools), for riding the donkeys and providing a fun afternoon of entertainment!
