The November Casey’s Public House Student of the Month is Harjot Lehal, who received a Certificate of Achievement and a $25 gift card from Casey’s Public House, our Sponsor of this program.
Harjot is in the 7th grade at Paxon Hollow Middle School and attends their Life Skills Program, which teaches students on the spectrum valuable skills and tools for daily living, as well as functional academics. As a very social and friendly student, Harjot enjoys helping to deliver the daily mail throughout the school. He is a part of the Best Buddies Club, and enjoys the interaction and comradery he encounters in the halls, the classrooms and anywhere he can offer someone a smile or tell a joke.
Cooking is one of Harjot’s great joys in the Life Skills Program. He enjoys math class the most out of his classes, but he’s not all that fond of Language Arts class. Although he is sometimes hesitant when it comes to going on field trips, this is one place where Harjot shines, showing his incredible skills when bowling or playing mini-golf, among other trips. The move up from elementary school to middle school truly helped Harjot to blossom even more, and his great sense of humor gets a smile from everyone.
Harjot hopes to continue to improve in both daily living skills and academics, through attending Marple Newtown High School and then onto college, where he hopes to prepare for his dream career in a restaurant-focused business. Like most students his age, Harjot likes to spend time with friends and playing video games.
Your Marple Newtown Friends & Neighbors congratulate you on your incredible growth and accomplishments, Harjot! We wish you all the best in everything you dream of doing in the future, and we have no doubt you’ll do great things!
