Eric Daly, left and Navid Parwin are students of the
month at Prairie High School for February. Navid joined the PHS student
body this school year as a foreign exchange student from Germany.
Although English is his second language, Navid excels in his academics,
producing exceptional work. He remains focused on the reasons why
he joined the foreign exchange program: to learn a new culture, gain a
new perspective on education, and create new friendships. Several
of his teachers are impressed with his work ethic and quality of work.
We are glad that PHS was selected to teach Navid. Eric works very
hard in his classes and is on task with his work. He has belonged
to the drug free group for the last 3 years and has also served on the
drug free advisory council with Colleen Sonnen for those same three years.
He is in TSA and will be attending the state conference this spring.
He plays basketball and baseball. He volunteers for Cottonwood youth
sports (Little League); Pee Wee football (running chains, etc.) and the
Cottonwood Blood Drive (setting up and tearing down when they have them).
He worked for Jerry Richardson building his new house also working fulltime
this last summer at the monastery. Eric is a credit to our school.
