KUSD Families and community,
Check out Kingman Unified School District's CTE Program newsletter for the month of August! 📄 ☀
Each program provides students with opportunities to enhance career path skills and advance personal learning, thrive in a highly interactive environment, develop the skills necessary for success in the real world, and offers a number of enriching classes in order to give students a head start into the workforce.

💰✨ Last week, Kingman High School students got hands-on with real-world money skills through JA Money in Motion!

From budgeting to smart spending on essentials like housing, transportation, food, insurance, and education, this interactive experience gave our students the tools to make confident financial decisions for the future. 🙌📊

Setting them up for lifelong success—one smart choice at a time!

Manzanita Elementary is keeping with tradition by celebrating their amazing students who earned a "highly proficient" score or even a perfect score on the AASA Spring State Assessments!
Their handprints are now proudly showcased in the school hallway for all to see and admire! Huge congrats to all the students who achieved this incredible milestone! 👏🎉

🎉KUSD and SFE collaborated to provide students at Desert Willow Elementary School and Hualapai Elementary School the opportunity to taste new vegetables during their lunch.

Students had the chance to try zucchini and squash, with the option to enhance the flavor by adding Tajin. We asked the students to rate their enjoyment of these new vegetables, and we were delighted to find that many of them loved the experience! ❤

✍️SFE will use this feedback to inspire future menu ideas for students.

Lee Williams High School recently received a Kingman Police Department car 🚓🚨 donation from the City of Kingman.

In attendance to receive this donation from Chief of Police Rusty Cooper, were CTE Coordinator, Mrs. Wolsey, Law and Public Safety teacher, Mr. Doughty and his students.

The students were so appreciative for this donation, stating that it will really assist them in practicing traffic stops and other related exercises.

Students at Desert Willow Elementary School recently had a unique experience touring the ⚓USS Midway Museum in San Diego, California, all from the comfort of their classroom!

🎉They participated in a live broadcast from the aircraft carrier, where they learned about the applications of math that were used in daily operations on the Midway. The students also had the chance to interact and ask questions with a live representative from the carrier, making it an engaging and educational experience.

🎓💖 The seniors at Lee Williams High School kicked off their last year with a Senior Sunrise breakfast! 🌅 The morning was filled with inspiring speeches from both admin and teachers, as they were given advice about looking ahead to their final adventures together.
