USM Community Reconnects at Tower Breakfast

With Commencement just a few short days away, and summer weather finally here to stay (fingers crossed!), the excitement and energy within our hallways is at a fever pitch.

As we say goodbye, or more fittingly, see you later, to the Class of 2013 on Sunday, we warmly welcome another portion of our USM community this Thursday to reconnect at the final Tower Breakfast of the school year.

The inaugural Tower Breakfast Series, which began this past December, has brought the School community together to learn from our fantastic faculty and start the day together.

Thursday’s event will be the third and final installment of this year’s series, and will feature retired faculty member Mary “Peetie” Basson, who will discuss poetry, painting, and her experience as a Docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Previous gatherings featured Steve Bruemmer presenting one of his famous political cartoon presentations, and a teaching lesson on the Federal Reserve from John “J.S.” Stephens.

Many of us, much like our graduating seniors, leave the School for a time, but never truly leave our wonderful USM community. I look forward to the presentation, and encourage you to start your day with us this Thursday in Mellowes Hall.

The Tower Breakfast will be held from 7:30-8:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 23 in Mellowes Hall, and is open to all members of the USM community. Complimentary breakfast will be served, and the presentation will begin promptly at 7:45 a.m. RSVP by email at alumni@usmk12.org or call 414.540.3337.
