Dacia Blair, the barista, at Paradise Bakery & Cafe'
Paradise Bakery & Café located at the Hamilton Town Center, recently donated coupons to Hamilton Southeastern High School in order to reward students who have made the honor roll and/or displayed commendable effort.
The Royal Rewards Program, sponsored by the Royal Pride PTO, strives to reward students who have worked diligently in school. As the Royal Rewards Coordinator, I try to obtain coupons from local businesses so that kids who have worked hard all semester long, can trade them in for a special treat. With a high school as large as HSE, this can be a challenging task, especially with the current economy. We truly appreciate any help we can get from our local vendors to help motivate students.
“Paradise Bakery is excited about celebrating our 5 year anniversary here in the Indianapolis area. We enjoy giving back to a community who has made these past 5 years so successful. It’s our gesture of thanks and an invitation to come in and see what all the excitement is about,” says Tracy Mirro, Marketing Director and Shelley Matz, Catering Coordinator at Hamilton Town Center.
“We, the faculty and staff at Hamilton Southeastern High School, wish to express our sincere appreciation for the Royal Rewards Program and its recognition of student success,” says Kim Lippe, Assistant Principal at Hamilton Southeastern High School. She continues, “The program reflects and highlights the collaborative efforts from our teachers, parents, business partners, and community as a whole, to recognize and reward student commitment and hard work.”
Sarah Klingerman hands out samples of fresh cookies to customers.
“As donation dollars continue to shrink with our challenging economy, and more financial responsibility put on families, we are increasingly dependent on community members to help support our school projects financially,” said Royal Pride PTO Co-President, Kathy Kleinrichert, “We are so grateful to Paradise Bakery & Café who has made a real difference, allowing us to continue our Royal Rewards program – a very worthwhile endeavor.”
Students who have made all A’s and B’s and/or students who have displayed honest effort, will have the chance to trade their coupon in for a free cookie from Paradise Bakery & Café. These gourmet cookies are very popular and represent a highlight of this casual style restaurant. Some popular choices also include: chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and snicker doodle. Each month, a different cookie is featured.
Paradise Bakery & Café serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with fresh soups, salads, sandwiches and a bakery with special coffees and fresh bakery items. To learn more about this restaurant, access this website: www.paradisebakery.com.
