The BUGS program is one of KCA's most popular and ongoing programs. Recently on April 21, 2022 Larry James and Herman Duh had the opportunity to host a BUGS presentation for the 3rd Grade students at Hale Elementary. All Honor Roll recipients were presented with a BUGS certificate, bookmark, a pencil, sunglasses, and entered into a drawing for a possibility to win a special prize. The winners of the drawing were Melanie Rodriguez and Chris Ordonez. Both winners were each awarded with their very own bicycle complete with a helmet to ensure their safety. KCA takes pride in supporting the students of Arlington and honored to have been featured on Hale Elementary's Facebook page.
