A group of students started a program called Lunch Chats as a way to help build community in the school. They celebrated their final Lunch Chat by throwing a pizza party for those in attendance. The pizza party was made possible thanks to a grant that they received from United Way of Paulding County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Emily Remaklus Paulding High School\u2019s Personal Growth and Positive Mindset class had a busy week.
