Family Donates to North Special Education Class in Memory of Son
John’s paraeducator and friend, Adam Throndset, and North Principal Andrew Dahlen accepted the donation on North’s behalf. This gift will support opportunities for others with John’s determination to never be defined by anyone but himself. Pictured L to R are: Adam Throndset, Mary and Mike Shulstad, and Principal Andy Dahlen
From Dawn Bolstad, SPED-MI, North High School:
John was a musician, a comic, an artist, a dedicated worker, an adventurer, and a trusted friend. Though he was nonverbal with a sign language all his own, John connected with the Spartan community as a whole. He was a young man who faced challenges on his own terms.
