KMMS to Start up a Unity Club

This past week, students have been invited to sign up for the KMMS Unity Club. Modeled after the club with the same name at the Kettle Moraine High School, the goal of the Unity Club is to bring attention to the ways in which people are treated differently, work to understand the value of our differences, and to accept all people for who they are.
The club will hold discussions, training sessions, and (in non-Covid times) field trips on diversity so that members can speak, listen and learn together. We are looking for students who are interested in open, honest, and respectful conversations about diversity at KMMS.  Won’t you join us?  
Thursday, February 11th from 4-5pm will be the first meeting of the KMMS Unity Club.
If your student has not already emailed Mrs. Hoffman to be placed on the club email list, please have them do so. Your student will receive a Google Meet link on the day of the meeting.
