Caught Being Good —

OK, Barons… This is a Caught Being Good announcement.  There’s no gimmicky metaphor to it, though… and no pseudo-humorous attempt at a jab on pop culture.  This Caught Being Good is SO GOOD, it just doesn’t need any of that.

Yesterday afternoon Junior Paul Carlson was sitting in his History class, just studying and learning… studying and learning… like he always does.  But when he went to retrieve a textbook from underneath his desk, Paul felt something he never felt before.  Before long, he realized that underneath his desk someone had left 100 dollars on top of a textbook.

100 dollars, Barons… What would you do if you found that much money?

Junior Paul Carlson not only did the right thing, he did the hard thing, when he reported finding the money to his teacher, and eventually turned it in to the Supervision Office.

Thanks Paul.  Finding 100 dollars can tempt the very best of us.  And this Friday we’re honored to have you on our campus, and add you to the list of people that have been CAUGHT… BEING GOOD!
