KCS had a fantastic time at our annual summer BBQ this past Saturday! The day was filled with delicious food, activities, and wonderful quality time spent together as a team.

We at KCS were thrilled to sponsor another year of United Way of Northern Arizona’s KinderCamp, an early education program designed to equip 4- and 5-year-old children with the essential social and academic skills for a smooth transition into kindergarten. At KinderCamp, young learners engage in activities such as name writing, letter identification, basic math skills, and building connections with their peers—all in a fun and engaging environment. Recently, our team had the pleasure of visiting the KinderCamp students to work with them hands-on. Thank you to United Way of Northern Arizona for the amazing work you do for our community. #KinderCamp #UnitedWay

The Mountain Line Flagstaff CDL Training Course on Northern Arizona University’s campus celebrated its official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Wednesday, May 22nd. This groundbreaking project represents a partnership between Mountain Line (Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority), Northern Arizona University (NAU), and Coconino County Community College (CCC), creating a collaborative CDL testing site and course in northern Arizona. The establishment of a proper CDL Course in northern Arizona is expected to generate additional CDL opportunities by offering both Class A and Class B License Programs. This initiative is set to create numerous jobs for the community, enhancing the local workforce and contributing to the region’s economic vitality. Mountain Line CEO and General Manager, Heather Dalmolin, stated at the ceremony, “For organizations that train and employ CDL drivers, this is so much more than a slab of concrete. This represents the ability to train and test drivers without searching and negotiating for empty parking lot space all over town. As we face a nationwide shortage of CDL drivers, this course is a true workforce development engine, and an incredible example of community partnership.” Read more about the project and ceremony at: https://lnkd.in/gXhRXsVa

Over the past school year, KCS partnered with Ms. John’s 4th grade class at Kinsey Elementary for the Full STEAM Ahead classroom program through Flagstaff STEM City.

A big thank you to Ms. John for inviting us into the classroom this year to further STEAM education with Flagstaff Unified School District’s students.
