Andrew is the definition of character. He is our hardest worker, on and off the ice. Andrew not only displayed outstanding ability, but also distinguished himself as an excellent role model. He has been responsible for establishing outstanding relationships with the members of the team, and his coach as well. In the years that I have been involved in coaching, I can honestly say that Andrew Paolini is the consummate team leader, displaying the highest level of effort, integrity, and character.
Aside from his athletic attributes, Andrew is an exemplary student. Although I have never been involved in the direct instruction of Andrew, it is clearly evident from his academic performance that he strives for the utmost of success in the classroom. His positive peer interactions and willingness to assume responsibility in classroom settings are tremendous assets to his teachers and other students in this district.
