Supervisor Vasquez along with other County Supervisors helped support KinderCamp this year in response to a Coconino County Community Initiative (CI) application from KinderCamp. Supervisor Vasquez had the opportunity to tour Thomas Elementary School’s KinderCamp Program. KinderCamp is a crucial learning opportunity for new students entering Kindergarten. Students who participate in KinderCamp are ready to go day one in Kindergarten. Students who don’t get such prep take one to two months to acclimate to school. We are so lucky to have KinderCamp provided by a partnership between UnitedWay of Northern Arizona and the Flagstaff Unified School District. Thank you!
