Yesterday, Kingman Middle School hosted the Reality Store. 🏠💵
The "Reality Store" is an engaging activity in which students randomly select a career, annual income, marital status, and whether or not they have children. It serves as a real-life simulation to the game of "Life." Students learned how to manage a checkbook while exploring career options and making important life choices.
A special thank you to all the volunteers that came together to make this another successful event for the students in our community!
On November 12th, Dr. Adam Dawson from Kingman Regional Medical Center spent his day discussing his profession and the medical field with children throughout Kingman Unified School District.
Here, he is visiting with students at Little Explorers Early Learning Center. He talked about being an emergency room doctor, showed students how to take their pulse, and explained the many different professions related to the health science field.
Kingman Regional Medical Center gave tremendous support to all of our schools. Exposing students at every grade level each career field is important and we appreciate KRMC and their staff for helping us with this endeavor.
