Dear Charger Nation, Congratulations to our boys soccer team on punching their ticket to the WIAA Division 4 State Soccer Tournament! By winning the Sectional Championship match on Saturday evening, they have earned a trip to compete for the State Title in Milwaukee! The State Semifinal match against Amery is at 7:00pm on Friday, November 2 nd, at Uihlein Fields, in Milwaukee. A win on Friday will put our team into the State Championship game on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. (If they should lose Friday, they would NOT play on Saturday). We are hoping for an amazing turnout of Charger fans to come support our soccer team, as they continue their sensational postseason run! Important Soccer State Details Early Release School will be released at 12:42pm on Friday, November 2 nd, 2018. Please note that hot lunch will be served during the school day. Transportation While we hope many students will attend the tournament match(es), they are under no obligation to attend. KML will provide a student fan bus, which will FIRST attend the volleyball match in Green Bay. The bus is open to KML students only. On Tuesday, after chapel, a Google Form will be sent out to all KML students. All sign-ups are final. Students should check their email after chapel has concluded. The bus fee for riding is $5 per student, and student accounts will be charged (no cash accepted). The student fan bus will depart KML on Friday afternoon at 1:00pm, headed for the volleyball match in Green Bay. Students who ride the student fan bus to the given game must ride the bus back, as well. Exceptions will only be made if a parent is attending the given game; and if the parent speaks to Mr. Luehring, or Mr. Greefkes in person at the given match. Students riding the bus will be dropped off directly at the gate of each facility. Students riding the bus MUST purchase their own tickets, for admittance (see ticketing for more information). All students riding the bus to the volleyball match, will promptly be loading after the game, and will head directly to the soccer game in Milwaukee. All students riding the bus MUST attend both volleyball and soccer. It is difficult to predict an exact return time, but an estimate is that the bus will return to KML between 9:30 and 10:00pm.
Students who are given permission by their parents to drive, or ride with other students, should be aware that there is a charge for parking in Green Bay (see parking section for more information), and that parking may be challenging (in both distance from the Resch Center and overall availability). The school will not be involved with or responsible for any rides and riding arrangements other than for the student fan bus, which the school is providing. Parking/Access There is no parking charge, for parking at Uihlein. Gates will open approximately 1 hour prior to the start of each session. Patrons will be required to pass through metal detectors at the door (see attached information for forbidden items). There are parking spaces available on a first come basis for spectators with disabilities. See attached information for helpful parking maps. Ticket Information Tickets for the soccer tournament ARE NOT available for advanced purchase online. Tickets are only available at Uihlein Fields and are $8 per ticket. Children 6 and under are $1 per ticket. All tickets are general admission, and no special block is reserved for our school.

Shirts will be available for pick-up in the cafeteria, after the Pep Rally.
We hope to characterize excellent sportsmanship, as we pursue a WIAA D4 State Championship, yet athletic victory is not our only, nor primary, goal. We pray that the KML Family would use this excellent opportunity as a platform to impact others through the Gospel message, and further enjoy joint fellowship as part of the greater KML Family! Psalm 96:3- Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
