❤A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way at Mount Tipton Elementary School! Last week, Mt. Tipton Elementary received a special donation from VFW Auxiliary 9833 in Dolan Springs — a Buddy Bench for the school playground! 🎉
This heartwarming story began with former Mt. Tipton student Ezra Costa, who had the idea to bring a Buddy Bench to the playground. Ezra spoke up, shared his idea, and used his voice to make a difference! Cindy from VFW Auxiliary 9833 helped turn that idea into reality by donating the bench for Mt. Tipton students to enjoy. 🥰
The Buddy Bench encourages friendship and inclusion. When students feel lonely or need a friend, they can sit on the bench as a signal for others to invite them to play.
🤝 A big thank-you to Ezra and VFW Auxiliary 9833 for helping create a more caring, inclusive school community! ✨!

🚌 Safe rides start with understanding, teamwork, and practice!
KUSD special education bus drivers and monitors completed eight hours of training for two days over Fall Break to better support students with disabilities. To put their learning into practice, KUSD students joined us at the District Office, where drivers and monitors participated in simulated bus situations to practice the strategies together.
The training also included a parent’s perspective—offering a window into what a family’s morning may look like and how those experiences can affect a student before they even board the bus.
Thank you to our transportation team, participating students, and parent presenter! Your teamwork helps make each bus ride a positive part of our students’ school day!

Mohave College Robotics and Automation instructors brought a Fanuc CRX-5iA collaborative robot (cobot) to the Kingman High School Career Center for an exciting, hands-on demonstration.
Students rotated through interactive stations where they explored components of programs offered through Mohave College’s Advanced Manufacturing Training Center. One of the biggest highlights was the opportunity for students to input codes and program the cobot to perform different movements!
