What a heartwarming story!
The Goodie Two Shoes Foundation truly made a significant impact on the students at Mount Tipton Elementary School today, by providing them with brand-new shoes 👟of their choice, six pairs of socks, and dental kits. It’s incredible to see such generosity and support, especially since this marks the organization’s first outreach outside Nevada.
📣A huge shoutout to the Barbarich Family and the Goodie Two Shoes team for making this possible and bringing joy to the Dolan Springs community and its students!
Students at Hualapai Elementary School were surprised by their school when they were invited to a celebration for their excellent attendance record! 🎉🎉
Students who were absent 4 or less days since the first day of school (half the school year) were able to participate in a fun cookie decorating activity, extra recess and received a reindeer candy cane.
If they continue this path of attendance, which would be 8 or less days absent from school for the entire school year, they will get an even bigger celebration at the year's end!
Before Winter Break, Mr. Alexander and Cambridge students from Kingman Middle School visited Little Explorers Early Learning Center to share the delightful tale, "If You Give a Mouse A Cookie," with the little ones. The preschoolers loved listening to the story as they enjoyed a chocolate chip cookie treat that complemented the theme perfectly.
Before the break, Mrs. Dunn's class at Hualapai Elementary School had been studying about the Revolutionary War. The students engaged in a creative and educational activity where they dressed up as notable people from that era, using their own crafted cutouts.
Each student prepared and delivered a speech to their peers and family, showcasing extensive research and understanding of their chosen person's life and contributions to the war.
We love seeing our students' creativity!

On December 12, 2024, Lee Williams High School hosted its inaugural Student Townhall. More than 15 tables were packed with enthusiastic students eager to share their opinions.

Yesterday, students from Mrs. Llerin's class at Little Explorers Early Learning Center had the chance to visit White Cliffs Senior Living Center.

A big thank you to White Cliffs Senior Living for hosting our students!
Last Wednesday, Kingman Middle School celebrated their Winter Carnival, organized by the Kingman Unified Special Olympics K-12. The event featured a variety of fun activities for students and their families to enjoy. A highlight of the day was a special appearance by the Grinch himself!

Kingman Middle School students who are a part of the Kingman Unified Special Olympics K-12 visited the campus of UNLV.

Last week, in collabration with local military recruiters, the Kingman High School guidance counselors and instructional coach were hard at work proctoring the Armed Services Vocational Apptitude Battery.

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.
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!
