Paradise High School

Congratulations to Andrew Axxton Jauron for being nominated Paradise High School Student of the Week. Andrew was nominated by Ms. Stephanie Swift Minderhoud and she said, “Andrew Axxton Jauron is a great example of a resilient Bobcat. The amount of maturity, humor, empathy, kindness, volunteerism, and friendship that Andrew has exhibited since 8th grade is incredibly commendable. He excels at music and is very creative. An example of Andrew's positive virtues is when he stayed late one night picking up the trash in the gym after a basketball game, without being asked! He has persevered through more life challenges than the average adult. Through all of this, he continues to push forward with determination and hope. Andrew is an amazing, senior, young man with a future of great opportunities ahead of him.”
Congratulations, Andrew!”

Today finished our three days of Breaking Down the Walls, a program designed to create a safe environment for students to build empathy and understanding through their "play, trust, learn" model. By first helping students laugh together, they start to trust one another, and eventually want to learn from those outside their normal friend group. The intention of the workshops is to leave everyone with the realization we are truly BETTER TOGETHER!

Congratulations to Matthew Dunlap for being nominated Paradise High School Student of the Week. Matthew was nominated by Mr. Travis Kaye and he said, “Matt is a pillar in my 1st period class. He makes an effort to learn the material, participates in class discussions, and brings energy to the class. Beyond this, Matt supports his classmates: from carrying another student’s math binder to class so they don’t lose it, to encouraging and helping others to complete assignments. On more than one occasion I have heard him tell classmates “I do not want to see you fail.” First period would not be the same without him.
Thank you Matt for being a leader and support to our class!”
