TMJH is launching a pilot program using Yondr locking pouches to create a phone-free learning environment, aimed at reducing distractions and improving mental health.

Estimulando las Mentes Jóvenes a través de la Carrera de Radio Control (RC) y la Liga de Ingeniería

Los estudiantes de la escuela primaria de Park City aprenden de forma práctica y real. Si estuvo cerca de la escuela primaria Trailside (TSES) un soleado día de primavera del año pasado, sin duda oyó el rugido de la multitud que animaba y vio las nubes de polvo levantadas por los coches que giraban. Seguramente habría visto la emocionante conclusión de la Carrera RC y la Liga de Ingeniería, en la que los estudiantes compitieron con coches de radiocontrol en una competición enérgica y un tanto caótica, todos esforzándose por cruzar la línea de meta en primer lugar.

To me, PCEF is supporting not only our school district but our whole community, by providing funding and amazing education opportunities that would not be possible otherwise. It takes a community to raise a child, and the Foundation is a critical component.
