The Paradise Elementary School building was completely destroyed in the December 2018 Butte County fires. Members of the Yours Humanly board visited Paradise, California, and toured the burnt school site. Following the tour, they met with Paradise Unified School District officials, and the principal, staff, and students of the Paradise Elementary, now holding classes in a renovated school building 35 minutes away in Oroville.
Through our Bridging Gaps initiative, Yours Humanly presented Paradise USD with a check in the amount of $15,000 to help with the rebuilding process. The funds, among other things, will go toward the purchase of Chromebooks and classroom libraries, benefitting hundreds of students of Paradise Elementary and those who will attend in years to come.
