April 10, 2015

 

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

 

- - KML HIGH SCHOOL NEWS AND INFORMATION - - 

= MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE! =

   Would you like to join the 152 members of the Builders program? Simply email Wendy....@kmlhs.org to increase your existing auto-withdrawal giving or visit kmlhs.org/autogift where you can set up a new gift or convert your existing pledge to online giving.  Every new or increased auto withdrawal gift qualifies for the $500 incentive gift to KML from an anonymous friend.  Thank you for making a Joyful Noise by helping us meet the needs of our students, through simple, consistent monthly gifts.

= ELECTRONICS RECYCLING =

   There are some big changes coming to KML's annual Community Electronics Recycling Event on

April 10 (2:00 - 5:00pm) and 11 (7:00am - 2:00pm). This is an opportunity for people to dispose of

unused and broken electronic items in an environmentally responsible way. A wide variety of items

including TVs, computers, cell phones and other electronic devices will all be accepted.  More information is available at www.kmlhs.org/recycle.

IMPORTANT CHANGES:

• Old style televisions (CRT/tube, projection, console) will now cost $15 each (paid in cash -exact change only). CRT computer monitors and plasma, LED, and LCD flat screen TVs are still free.
• We now accept small appliances that contain Freon (dehumidifiers, window air conditioners, etc.) and batteries of any kind (alkaline, lead acid, NiCad, NiMH, Li-ion, etc.).
• The collection point will now be the PAC parking lot - no early drop offs accepted.
  

= 2015 AUCTION REGISTRATION DEADLINE APPROACHING =

   Don't miss out on the early bird reservation of $65 per person!  Price increases to $75 beginning April 5 and the final date to make a reservation is April 10. The $65 fee includes a tax deductible contribution to KMLHS of $15 ($25 for the $75 ticket price).  Donations deadline is also approaching - April 8!  For more information or to register, go to kmlhs.org/auction .

=HOST FAMILIES NEEDED =

   As the end of the school year approaches, we are still in need of host families for some of next year’s international students. Would you please consider hosting a student next year? Students arrive in August and stay until the end of May. Host families are responsible for providing housing, transportation, and meals outside of home. Students have their own health insurance and spending money. Host families receive a stipend for their expenses. Some of our new students are Christians whose families are craving a Christian education not available in their country. What a blessing we have here at KML to be able to provide this for our own children and for theirs! Others will be learning about Christianity for the first time. Please consider helping us serve these families. Contact Wendy Robinson at wendy.r...@kmlhs.org or 262-677-4051 x1111 for more information.

= PLANT SALE =

   Charger Club is having our annual plant sale in time for Mother’s Day, orders due by April 15 and delivered on May 7.  Order and pay online  at edtomassetti.wix.com/kmlchargerclub7 or print out the order form at www.kmlhs.org/plantsale.

= 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 RetroFest. 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 KML Schools Fine Arts Exhibition. 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! New this year: a celebrity chili cook-off contest. You be the judge and choose your  favorite!  All NHS members have been scheduled to work for children’s games, coat check, distribution of food, and also to make a dessert donation for the dessert bar (a disposable container of cookies or bars).

= BASKETS AND PIES NEEDED FOR FAMILY MUSIC FEST ON APRIL 17! =

   Donations of pies and baskets are such a huge part of Family Music Fest, our annual music department fundraiser. Please help by donating a pie or basket for auction! If you can 

donate any of these items, please bring them to the KML office on Friday, April 17, from 12-3pm, or drop baskets off at the office the week of April 12 during the school day. Cash 

donations to use toward the purchase of basket items are also happily accepted. More information about the evening and a pie/basket donation form are at kmlhs.org/family-music-fest. If you have questions or would like to give a cash donation, please contact Michelle Mueller at 414-333-7681 or muel...@charter.net.

= QUILTERS' CAFE =

   KMLHS is hosting another Quilters' Cafe on May 2-3rd, 2015.  We are looking for volunteers for this fun event.  Volunteers are needed for 2 hour shifts and will receive a FREE lunch and FREE admission to the Quilters' Cafe.  Ticket sellers and kitchen help are needed to staff the event from 8-5 pm on both Saturday and Sunday.

   Do you enjoy baking?  We also need donations of desserts to sell at this event.  We are looking for tortes, pies, and cakes.  NO bars or cookies.  Desserts go for $3.00 a piece, so think of what you might see at a bakery.  It doesn’t have to be time consuming.  If it looks good and tastes good, it will sell.  These women are looking for something they wouldn’t get every day like a brownie or chocolate chip cookie.  Any German desserts like Schaum Torte go well.

   If interested in helping, please call Sarah Rabas (414-526-2374) or Amy Schulz (262-224-5581).

= E3 - KML SUMMER ACADEMY =

   KML will be hosting various academic, fine arts, and sports camps this summer for both youth and adults. Please pass the information on to friends and family that would be interested in attending. Camp flyers and registration forms are available in the rack outside the KML main office, from your elementary school office, or on our website at kmlhs.org/e3 .

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

   Purchase KML Scrip for your regular purchases and earn rebates to bring down the cost of tuition. Don’t forget to use scrip on your not-so-regular purchases, too!

   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.

= MOMS NIGHT OUT =
