Since January 2020, Ponderosa instructor Kurt Lonner has commented daily on a program made for students called CNN10. A large number of freshmen, sophomores and juniors recognize the program even though Carl Azuz is no longer the host.
Roughly three years and four months later, Ponderosa Middle School was finally rewarded with a shout out from CNN10. This program was seen by over 100,000-plus accounts over the next several days.
"I have told a number of my former students that if we ever got a shout out, I would find a way to let them know. Our school will be heard across the world," Lonner said. "Well, here is a clip of that shout out in the Tuesday, 4/25 segment."
