🫎 From Home to KCA — Skills That Travel With Our Students There are some things you just can’t learn from a textbook. Our KCA semester students took advantage of the beautiful Anchorage weather and spent part of the day processing moose together. What stood out wasn’t just how hard they worked—it was the knowledge, confidence, and skills they brought with them from home. For many of our students, processing moose is more than a task. It represents family, culture, responsibility, teamwork, and providing for others. Those lessons were learned alongside parents, grandparents, relatives, and community members throughout our LYSD villages—and our students carried that knowledge with them all the way to KCA. Watching them work together was another reminder that our students arrive at KCA with tremendous strengths already in hand. KCA’s job is to build upon those strengths, connect them to new experiences and opportunities, and help our students see just how valuable the knowledge they bring from home truly is. Driven. Motivated. Capable. And proud of where they come from. Home taught them the skills. KCA gives them another place to put those skills to work. 🫎💪
