Meet Ms. Tallon, Third Grade Teacher Extraordinaire!
We’re thrilled to introduce Ms. Tallon, a passionate and dedicated third grade teacher who is working hard to make next school year unforgettable for her students. She’s currently raising funds to expand and enrich her classroom library and to purchase full class sets of novels for engaging and meaningful novel studies.
Her goal is to provide her students with access to diverse, high-quality books that inspire a love of reading, build comprehension skills, and open doors to new ideas and perspectives.
If you’d like to support her mission and help build a library her students will cherish, please consider donating here:

Thank you to the incredible supporters who have already contributed.
Every dollar helps bring books into eager young hands. Let’s help Ms. Tallon turn her classroom into a reading adventure zone!


⭐KUSD is exploring the careers in Culinary, Hospitality, Retail and Tourism! 🍽️✨
Manzanita Elementary had the pleasure of hosting Kingman’s very own Filipino kitchen, Kusina De Maynila and with two amazing Filipino teachers on board, the students learned all about the beautiful art of Filipino cuisine.
Not only did they get to taste some incredible dishes, but they also discovered the secrets behind how these delightful meals are prepared.
📣A HUGE shoutout to Ms. Closyl Kate Calderon, Mr. Ira Mirabuena and Kusina De Maynila for sharing your passion and culture with our future chefs! Let’s keep exploring and tasting new flavors together! 🎉
