Introducing Yondr Pouches at Our School!
We're excited to announce the implementation of Yondr pouches to secure student devices during the academic day. This initiative aims to create a focused and distraction-free learning environment for everyone.
Why keep cell phones out of the classroom?
- Increased Focus: Without the constant buzz of notifications, students can concentrate better on their studies and engage more deeply in classroom activities. Studies show that it takes 20 minutes to refocus after a disruption from a phone.
- Enhanced Social Interaction: Students are encouraged to communicate face-to-face, building stronger interpersonal skills and friendships.
- Decreased Bullying: By removing phones, we aim to reduce instances of cyberbullying, helping to create a safer and more supportive school environment.
Each Yondr pouch is provided to students to secure their phones at the start of the day. Please note that if a pouch is lost or damaged, there is a $30 replacement fee.
Let's work together to make this school year a productive and enriching experience for everyone! #FocusOnLearning #YondrPouches #DistractionFreeLearning #StopBullying #LayingTheTracks #MightyMoguls #FullSteamAhead

Our senior celebration continues, highlighting the impressive achievements of our graduates and reflecting on special moments from this past school year.
**Senior Spotlight #5: Landon Heisler**
Landon Heisler dedicated his Senior Experience to volunteering at the Cheyenne River Animal Hospital, where he gained hands-on experience in veterinary care. Throughout his time at the clinic, Landon undertook various responsibilities, from managing inventory to maintaining cleanliness. A pivotal moment for him was assisting in the surgical procedure of a dog’s leg amputation, where he prepared the surgical site and operated a laser to seal the wound post-operation. Landon’s commitment and hard work have provided him with invaluable insights into the veterinary field. Well done, Landon! 🐾🏥

Today, as we celebrate high school graduation, it's fitting to look back at where it all begins: preschool. This year, we were thrilled to add a new preschool program to our school. Starting strong is crucial, and our preschool provides the foundation for a lifelong learning journey. An education at Edgemont encompasses much more than academics; it’s about building life skills, friendships, sportsmanship, patriotism, and so much more. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate the comprehensive education journey that starts right from our youngest learners.
Thanks for tuning into our hourly senior announcements! We hope to see everyone at Baccalaureate at 2:00 today and graduation at 3:00.
