THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone for doing what you can, when you can!

  • Fundraising is off to a great start! Spirit Wear raised $263, Back to School Night food trucks donated $371, Fundraiser Nights since school started brought in over $700, and October’s R&K Sub Sale made $3619!
  • Remember all the money raised by these fundraisers and events goes towards paying for every student to go on a field trip at no cost to you, receive a free yearbook at the end of the year, and many other big and small events for the students and staff.

  • A huge THANK YOU to those who volunteered during Fall Fest and donated food items for our Oktoberfest Staff Appreciation. We would not be able to pull off such fantastic events like these without the Paradise community! SHOUT OUT to Sarah Landis and Kathy Pannuto for organizing Fall Fest activities and Krista McKenzie for putting on yet another awesome Staff Luncheon!
