🎉Our 2026, Kaliope Morgan! What a talented and distinguished young woman!

Congratulations to today's UW-Milwaukee Youth Music Ensemble UWAY Senior Spotlight Celebration musician..... Kaliope Morgan from Oak Creek High School! Kaliope is a third-year UWAY Musician who plays Horn and Piano in the program. As a well-rounded musician, Kaliope also serves as a Drum Major with Oak Creek's marching band and sings in the school's choirs. In fact Kali and Knight Club (a competitive a ca****la ensemble) recently received Outstanding Soloist and Outstanding Choreographer awards from the International Competition of High School A Ca****la. Wow! She will study political science in college, with her eyes on a track toward law school in the future. But Kaliope also says, "I plan on auditioning for a competitive collegiate a ca****la [group] and joining a community band!" How wonderful! Brava, Kaliope!! 😃👏🎓🌼💥🥇🎹🎤🎭

Happy Be Your Best Self Week- Day 5! BE RESPONSIBLE

“Be Responsible” is one of my favorite BYBS pillars because it allows us to take action. Throughout my life, I have learned that being responsible, even for little things, helps you achieve greater success. And best of all, being responsible is free! Just check the receipt 😉

Whether you make your bed in the morning, or start an initiative, do something that will create a positive outcome. Just because today is the last official BYBS day, that doesn’t mean we should ever stop being our best selves. 🤍

Happy Be Your Best Self Week Day 4! Today is: BE AMBITIOUS!

Be ambitious is one of my personal favorite pillars of BYBS. It’s all about achieving goals, big and small. Committing to being your best self everyday helps make large goals seem more reachable. Everyday, I aim to do one thing that will get me one step closer to my ultimate goal- becoming the President of the United States. Whether it’s public speaking, practicing writing legislation, or just reading a news article, every experience makes a difference in my journey. 🇺🇸

Today, BE AMBITIOUS! Step out of your comfort zone, try something new, and commit to excellence. 🤍

Be Your Best Self Day 3! BE STUDIOUS 🧠

Being studious doesn’t just pertain to the classroom- it pertains to the world as well. I strive to be both prepared for school academics and for understanding our world that is filled with language, culture, and diversity.

Today, study for your quiz, AP exams, or complete your homework; in addition, practice another language, try an authentic restaurant, or explore a new place! 🌍📚

Happy Be Your Best Self Week, Day 2!! Today is all about BEING INVOLVED!

To me, being involved means finding passion, taking action, trying new things, and most importantly: giving back. I have found my passion for theatre and performing by stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things. Taking action has given me the opportunity to meet state leaders and create meaningful impact that will last a lifetime. But above all, involvement is about giving back- to my family, my community, and the people who support me. Whether it’s through volunteering, small acts of kindness, or simply showing up for others, that’s what truly shapes my “why.”

It’s BE YOUR BEST SELF WEEK! 🎉🎉 I had the privilege of starting the week off by spreading the word about DYW and Be Your Best Self Week in three amazing elementary classrooms.

Starting off the week is: BE HEALTHY 🫀🏃‍♀️

Being healthy means more than staying active and being physically healthy. It also includes keeping your mind healthy. Everyday, I strive to add physical movement to my life whether it’s running, dancing, or just taking my dogs for a walk! Simultaneously, I am sure to fuel my mind with positive thoughts and encouragement.

Today you should take a walk, give yourself an extra minute to reflect on what you’re doing well, or get a yummy smoothie! Happy day 1 of BYBS Week!
