Kingman Unified School District #20

Our 8th grade middle school students from Kingman Middle School, Black Mountain School and White Cliffs Middle School had the opportunity to visit Mohave College's new Advanced Manufacturing Training Center at the Kingman Industrial Park. ⚙️🛠
🎯The goal for the middle school Manufacturing Day was to have every 8th grader attend, so all students can become aware of what manufacturing is, gain hands on experiences and learn about the college and career pathways that are available in the trades.

The preschoolers at Little Explorers Early Learning Center happily invited their families to the Animal Parade Performance 🦁🐵🐻🐘, marking a wonderful celebration of their successful completion of the Cambridge Early Years, Stage 2.
Throughout the Early Years Cambridge Program, our preschool students engaged in enriching activities centered around art, music, dance, and drama. This program celebrates children's natural creativity but also empowers them to express their thoughts, feelings, and personalities both verbally and non-verbally.

📣If you are a senior in high school, it is time to fill out your FASFA!
✅The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Completing and submitting the FAFSA form is free!
✅It’s one of the first steps you can take toward funding your education after high school. This form helps determine your eligibility for financial aid opportunities such as grants, work-study, scholarships, and loans.
✅Completing the FAFSA form allows you to be evaluated for aid that can help make college more affordable. Don’t leave money on the table - seize opportunities for a brighter future!
✅ If you are planning to continue your education after graduating from high school, at a community college, trade or technical school, or a university, the FAFSA is for you! Be sure to talk to your school counselor if you need additional help!
📆Mark your calendars to attend one of the FAFSA Workshops offered by Mohave College for additional assistance.
