Tis the Season We’re glad to help!
Tis a busy time of year with lots of shopping, baking, Christmas festivals and caroling. It is also time to think of those that may need a little cheer in their life. Once again the Paragon Optimist Club has sent decorated Christmas cards to the Veterans at the Veterans Hospital in Cincinnati. At a club meeting we wrote a cheerful message, signed and decorated 356 Christmas cards. It was a wonderful time listening to music and remembering those that have served.
This year we are also happy that we could provided Christmas gifts to various local families, and that we had the time to place wreaths on those that served our country.

2021-2022 Paragon 4th Grade Essay Contest
Last year’s school year is over and after the last few years with Covid and on-line learning, our essay contest was a great success. The contest allows fourth graders to select a topic, from two provided, and practice their skills that were learned in school. The topics were: What is a problem that you as a fourth grader can help resolve; and what kind of a new animal could you discover. There were 264 entries from seven schools. The schools were St. Ann, Sacred Heart, Queen of Peace, Fairfield East, Riverside, Crawford Woods and Fairfield Compass.
The judges of the essays were members of the Paragon Optimist Club. This was very difficult since there were so many wonderful ideas suggested. There were many times the essays were read and reread. Once the winners were selected, they were awarded a certificate and cash prize. Each student who entered were given a piece of candy.
In awarding the winners, it was amazing to see the congratulations given to the winners by their fellow classmates. The surprise looks on the winner’s faces was memorable. This was a wonderful experience for the children and the adults involved. We cannot wait for this years contest entries to again be amazed.

Proudly Honoring and Remembering
It’s been too long since we’ve been able to gather and remember as a group. We are so glad to be back and next year we’ll bring more candy for the kids!
Being the Easter Bunny
It’s that time of year when we get together and assemble Easter baskets to be given out to kids in need. We want every kid to have a great holiday and feel that they’re important.

Well, We Are at It Again!
Each year the Paragon Optimist Club makes Easter baskets for deserving kids. The age range is from infants to preteen. We make any where from 100 to 150 baskets. One group needed the baskets earlier than usual. So we made 30 baskets.
A fun time was had selecting the stuffed animal, book, toys and candies that each basket held. It was hard not to eat the candy, especially the chocolate. (It's not like when you sneak some out of your kid's basket.)
We cannot wait to complete the rest. Shout out to Trish, Janet, Gloria, JoAnn and Pat.
