12 Days of Christmas at KML

Over twelve days in December, KML’s Student Council and National Honor Society work to collect money through student involvement to support families in need. This year we are raising money to help the Beaty, Mueller, Pfundtner, and Robinson families. Parents, federation members, alumni, friends, and the community are encouraged to donate as well.

To read these families’ stories, donate to support them, or learn more about the 12 Days of Christmas at KML, visit kmlhs.org/12days. Last day to donate: December 31, 2025.

Call News

The KML General Board has called Pastor James Douglas to teach Word of God 11 & 12. Pastor Douglas currently serves as the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Charlotte, NC. Please keep Pastor Douglas in your prayers as he deliberates where best to use his gifts to serve the Lord.

12 Days of Christmas Coffee Fundraiser

KML is once again partnering with Coffeeville Company to raise money for KML’s 12 Days of Christmas fundraiser to support families in need. This year we are raining money to help the Beaty, Mueller, Pfundtner, and Robinson families.

For each $16 bag of premium 12 oz. coffee sold, Coffeeville is donating $3 back to the 12 Days of Christmas. Bags are sold with whole OR ground coffee beans and make great gifts for the coffee-lovers on your Christmas list! Both regular and decaf coffee available.

Prizes will be awarded to KML students with the top number of sales. You may choose a KML student to receive credit for your order, if you wish, by naming them on the order form.

Place your order online today at

kmlhs.org/12days.

Deadline to Order: Friday, December 5, 2025

Late orders cannot be honored.

Orders will be available for pick up in the PAC Lobby on December 12 from 2:50-4:00 PM.

If you are unable to pick up your order at these times and do not choose a KML student to deliver it to you (option on order form), please contact the KML Main Office (office@kmlhs.org) after placing your order.

Giving Tuesday is TOMORROW!

Join us tomorrow, December 2, on Giving Tuesday as we respond to God’s blessings!

Did you know that more than 100 donors will have their gifts to KML multiplied on Giving Tuesday?

To help bridge the gap between what families pay in tuition and the actual cost to educate each student, KML will receive $1,300 for more than 100 donors who give on GivingTuesday. That means your gift can help cover the gap for at least one student. What an incredible opportunity to make a lasting impact! Thanks be to God for our faithful KML family.

👉 Spread the word to friends and family who can also make a difference.

👉 Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn for exciting updates.

🙏 Please join us in praying that we meet this challenge and bridge the gap together.
