From the President’s Pen

Dear KML Family,

It is one of my favorite Psalms – Be still, and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10, NIV) Sin creates so much upheaval and challenge in our world that it can feel out of control at times. What a blessing to know we have a Savior who has overcome the world! As we pursue our work at KML, built on the foundation of the truth of God’s Word, we realize that our faith reflects the trust we have in our God. In a small whisper, he tells us he has all things in his powerful hands, and he truly cares for each of us. We recognize his greatness and love for us which motivate us to live for him and according to his ways. The result is an awesome culture of Christian love. What a blessing!

In Jesus,

President Luehring

From the President’s Pen

Dear KML Family,

We are looking forward to our special 50th Anniversary Worship Service this Sunday at 1:30 PM. It will be a kickoff to this year and, appropriately, will give all honor and praise to our generous God! As we reflect on God’s grace in the past, we can’t help but look forward to his grace for us today and the blessings which will be so evident in the future. Please say an extra prayer of gratitude for the multitude of people over our ministry’s history whom God has used to carve out this corner of Washington County for Jesus, and pray for God’s continued blessings as we build our foundation on Christ.

In Jesus,

President Luehring

Communique 9/15/23

September 15, 2023

Another Bold Defining Moment

Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School is now 50 years old! That’s five decades of history and countless blessings from our God!

Our Founding Families had a dream and commitment to start a Lutheran high school that was centered on Christ and teaching all subjects in the light of God’s Word. Their resolve was bold, especially when we consider the social and economic challenges of the early 1970s. Their boldness, however, was not reliant on their own efforts, but rather on the blessings of God. Now God’s blessing are also providing us with a challenge. More and more families are seeing the benefits of KML, and they want it for their children. This has made it necessary to add to our facility. This need in not about the building; it’s about the desire to share the Gospel with more students in expanded facilities to welcome and serve them.

As we celebrate 50 years of God’s grace, we ask you to offer prayers of thanks for the countless blessings throughout our history. We also seek to complete our Let’s Grow Together campaign and build the needed addition. We invite you to prayerfully consider a special Let’s Grow Together gift and partner with us in reaching the goal of serving more students with an expanded facility.

On Sunday, September 24, we are holding a special anniversary celebration service in the PAC. You are invited to join us in thanking God for 50 years of blessings and join hundreds of others in this new bold defining moment for KML.

Your support has a significant impact. Thank you for your continued prayers and support … Let’s Grow Together in Christ.

Dr. Jamie Luehring, President

From the President’s Pen

Dear KML Family,

In a world which can be so divisive and polarized, we are reminded that our God gives us unity through his Word. We are unified with our Christian family to encourage one another and build each other up as we see the final day of this earth coming. May God lift you up and encourage you and your family as we live according to his will and way. He is God, and he has a perfect track record of promises kept. We can trust in his love and care for one another.

God Bless,

President Luehring

From the President’s Pen

Dear KML Family,

I am often asked how the beginning of the school year is going. The short and easy answer is that it has been great! Our new faculty and staff have transitioned well into the KML family. Our seniors and upperclassmen are exhibiting strong Christian leadership as they model Living God’s Way, and our freshmen have acclimated to the high school setting. For all of this, we are thankful. We ask God to continue his watch over our entire KML family as we grow together in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and prepare for a blessed future.

Blessings,

President Luehring

4th Annual Autism Awareness Football Game & T-Shirt Ordering

KML football is now taking orders for this year’s Autism Awareness t-shirts which you can wear in support of KML football at the game on September 21 and also help the Autism Awareness Society of Wisconsin in their efforts to assist families of those who are on the Autism Spectrum. Each $15 t-shirt you purchase will allow KML to make a $6 donation to the Autism Society.

The football program has set a goal to raise more than $2500. Our opponent for this year’s Autism Awareness game on September 21, Ripon High School, will be partnering with us by purchasing shirts as well.

Because this event is happening in less than a month, ordering time is limited and urgent. Order a shirt through September 7 at 6:00 PM at kmlhs.org/autismtee. Please order under your student’s name. (Check with your student to avoid duplicate ordering!) Each shirt you order will be billed to your student’s account. If you’d like to order multiple shirts, please complete the order form more than once. T-shirts will be distributed at school in advance of the football game.

Questions? Contact Coach David Kren (david.kren@kmlhs.org).

Communique 9/1/23

September 1, 2023

A Bold Defining Moment

At various times throughout KML’s 50-year history, our leaders have faced the challenges of a growing enrollment and the need to expand our facilities. We often refer to those times as bold defining moments.

We are currently faced with the opportunity for another one!

During our 50 years, KML has accomplished six building projects, and within just the past twenty years, we have experienced three successful capital campaigns. This is monumental. Professional fundraisers advise their clients to conduct one major campaign in that same time frame! Following that recommendation would have limited our ability to meet the challenges of a growing enrollment and the opportunity to share the Gospel with more youth. Rather than listen to the advice of those “experts,” we made the bold decisions to respond to God’s blessings with positive action.

Now, in 2023, we are moving forward again. As of this writing, we are more than halfway through our latest capital campaign, Let’s Grow Together. God continues blessing our school with amazing growth, and we gladly respond by meeting the needs of more students.

At the KML General Board meeting on August 14, 2023, the delegates heard a Let’s Grow Together update and were invited to ask questions and provide input. The details of the report included:

  • More than 1500 donors have already supported this campaign, and more than 150 of those donors are alumni.
  • More than $5.5 million has been given or pledged.
  • KML’s enrollment has and continues to grow at an average of 17 students/year.
  • The Jr. Chargers program, which has expanded to more than 400 youth, continues to serve as one of our best ministry opportunities for our federation and community, including many future KML students.
  • Our current gyms are used every period of the day as well as before school and long into the evening.
  • The weight room is inadequate for our P.E. program and our athletic teams, and the trainer’s area needs significant expansion.
  • There is a continual demand for more classrooms to meet future growth.
  • A proposed building addition would meet these and future needs.

In response to this report, the delegates voted unanimously to move forward and build the addition. The initial design includes a fitness center, trainer’s room, gym, atrium, classrooms, storage, and more. This expansion will meet the needs of current activities as well as future programs.

“This campaign isn’t about the building. It’s about serving more students with the Gospel. The building is simply one of the tools to help us accomplish our mission.” – President Luehring

Our leaders are now finalizing plans with the goal of breaking ground in spring of 2024 and completing the project by the summer of 2025.

At this time we ask for your continued prayers. Pray for our students as they grow every day in their faith and knowledge of Jesus their Savior. Pray for our faculty and administrators as they lead this ministry, and pray for the success of the Let’s Grow Together campaign as well as prayerfully considering your own special donation to help reduce the amount we will need to borrow.

$5.51M as of August 31, 2023

THANK YOU!

Goal: $10M by June 20, 2024

This is another bold defining moment for KML and can be accomplished with all of us working together for God’s glory.

KMaiL 8/31/23

August 31, 2023

From the President’s Pen

Dear KML Family,

If you walk through our hallways or look in our classrooms, you will see our culture words displayed. These are words that we are utilizing to remind ourselves of God’s loving expectations on how we live His Way. We live His Way because we are so thankful for the grace and forgiveness he freely offers us through Christ.

Our first culture word is gratefulness. The Biblical basis is Colossians 3:15, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” (NIV) So often in this world, sin invites ungratefulness and selfishness. May we reflect on God’s goodness to us whether in good times or bad.

In Jesus,

President Luehring

 

Late Start TOMORROW, Friday, September 1

Friday, September 1, will be our first late start of the school year. Our students can enjoy a few extra minutes of rest tomorrow morning. Classes will begin at 8:00 AM, not 7:40.

 

Student Services Weekly News

KML’s Student Services department has a weekly email which goes out to the student body. This email includes all volunteer and job postings. It also includes the colleges and military branches who will be on campus in the upcoming week.

This year, in an effort to keep parents informed, a link to this weekly news will be included in each week’s KMaiL. It will be linked at the end of KMaiL after “Upcoming Events.” (This week it is linked in this article AND at the end of KMaiL.)

View the Student Services Weekly News.

We hope this will be helpful to you if you are assisting your student in finding opportunities to volunteer or encouraging them to visit with a college recruiter when they are on campus.

Chargers for the Cure!

Please support KML’s fall Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser by purchasing and wearing a PINK OUT shirt. All proceeds will be donated to the Medical College of Wisconsin’s breast cancer research department.

Shirts will be available to pre-order Friday, September 1, 2023, through NOON on Friday, September 8, 2023. We will have a very limited number of shirts for sale after the pre-order on a first-come basis. We highly suggest ordering in advance.

There are TWO ways to order:

  1. KML students, faculty, and staff members can place an order through a google form that will be emailed directly to their KML email account on September 1. Students can order for their family members as well with parent permission. Student accounts will be charged directly for all orders placed. All sales are final. Orders will be delivered to the KML student locker or staff mailbox.
  2. Anyone can order at the online link kmlhs.org/pinkshirt. Orders will be delivered to the KML student indicated, or can be picked up from the Activities Office after September 29. Payment MUST be made via credit card.

*Just a reminder to not double up on the ordering process – either order through your student account OR with the online link (kmlhs.org/pinkshirt). All sales are final. Please contact Mrs. Amy Nass (amy.nass@kmlhs.org) with order questions.

Show your support by wearing your PINK OUT shirts at the following KML home sporting events:

  • Cross Country – Oct 4 – KML Schools Cross Country Meet
  • Volleyball – Oct 12 – KML vs Ripon
  • Football – Oct 13 – KML vs Kewaskum
  • Soccer – Oct 13 – KML vs Hartford Union

Many of us know someone affected by this disease; now we have the chance to show our support by wearing a shirt and financially helping in the research effort!

If you wish to make a direct donation or additional donation, please contact Mrs. Nass (amy.nass@kmlhs.org) for more information.

Thank you for your support and prayers!

 

4th Annual Autism Awareness Football Game & T-Shirt Ordering

KML football is now taking orders for this year’s Autism Awareness t-shirts which you can wear in support of KML football at the game on September 21 and also help the Autism Awareness Society of Wisconsin in their efforts to assist families of those who are on the Autism Spectrum. Each $15 t-shirt you purchase will allow KML to make a $6 donation to the Autism Society.

The football program has set a goal to raise more than $2500. Our opponent for this year’s Autism Awareness game on September 21, Ripon High School, will be partnering with us by purchasing shirts as well.

Because this event is happening in less than a month, ordering time is limited and urgent. Order a shirt now through September 7 at 6:00 PM at kmlhs.org/autismtee. Please order under your student’s name. (Check with your student to avoid duplicate ordering!) Each shirt you order will be billed to your student’s account. If you’d like to order multiple shirts, please complete the order form more than once. T-shirts will be distributed at school in advance of the football game.

Questions? Contact Coach David Kren (david.kren@kmlhs.org).

August 24, 2023

From the President’s Pen

Dear KML Family,

We stand by God’s grace alone! The firm foundation of our Christian community is the saving work of our loving God. We strive to make this evident in every class and activity at KML. As God’s Word is opened each day, the all-powerful Holy Spirit works through that Word to grow and sustain the faith of our students. As staff members, we are privileged to walk with the Holy Spirit and model our faith so we can encourage the students we serve. As we Live God’s Way, blessings abound for our KML family and those around us. We pray for God’s blessings on our work together as we inspire the next generation of Christian leaders!

God Bless,

President Luehring
