Dear Edgemont Parents, Have you noticed the leaves starting the change on the mountains? This is one of my favorite times of the year. Last week’s Bike to School week was a great success. Thank you to the parents who handed out the tickets each morning for prizes.  We also had our playground games repainted during the United Way Day of Caring.  See our Instagram for more information.  Speaking of Instagram, we’re having a contest to see if we can get 1200 followers on our Edgemont Elementary Instagram and Principal Kartchner’s Instagram page.  You can find the pages @edgemont_elementary and @principal_kartchner. If every one of our parents follows these pages, we’ll get 1200 followers in no time and our school will get a fun dance party and treat. Tell your friends and family to follow and watch for great content on our social media.  Read below for more information about what’s happening at Edgemont this week. Have a great week! Principal Kartchner
