🎓 **Celebrating Senior Success: Mackenzie Hollenbeck** 🎓
Join us as we continue our celebration of our seniors, spotlighting their achievements and revisiting significant events from the school year.
**Senior Spotlight #6: Mackenzie Hollenbeck**
Mackenzie Hollenbeck, a talented actor at heart, chose to step into the role of director for her Senior Project. She directed and produced a one-act play, which she took to the Panhandle One-Act Competition in Hemingford, Nebraska—a contest Edgemont hasn't entered since the '90s. Competing against six other schools, Mackenzie led our team to a commendable fifth place, just a point shy of fourth and tied with sixth. The judges were particularly impressed with our performance, favoring it over the sixth place due to its quality. Back home, Mackenzie also showcased her play during the Student Council’s Burgers & Bingo night, drawing a large, enthusiastic crowd. After dedicating over thirty hours to leading practices, creating the set, and coordinating with Hemingford staff, Mackenzie hopes her efforts will revive the tradition of one-act plays in Edgemont for years to come. Bravo, Mackenzie! 🎭🏆
🏃 **Throwback Highlight: Sports Opportunities** 🏃
This year was exciting for Edgemont sports as well! We brought back Cross Country and recently hosted a Middle School Track Meet at the beautiful Cody Barker Memorial Track and Field.
