📣📣📣 This week’s Shabbat Shout Out goes to rising senior Cooper Coughlan, who has had a pretty remarkable week.

In the span of just a few days, Cooper was elected Student Council President and named the recipient of the Bryan M. Hay Community Service (Chesed) Award.

If you know Cooper, this probably doesn’t come as a surprise.

When he’s not editing The Paw, helping put together the yearbook, dancing up a storm at prom, vacuuming after Shabbaton, organizing impromptu ice bucket challenges at school BBQs, or finding some other way to improve the Upper Division experience, Cooper is usually in the middle of making something happen.

The Chesed Award recognizes an 11th-grade student who has demonstrated a meaningful commitment to acts of loving kindness and service both within the school and throughout the broader community. It honors a student whose actions reflect the Jewish value of chesed through sustained service, leadership, and care for others.

What makes this week especially meaningful is that both honors—Student Council President and the Chesed Award—are rooted in something similar: showing up, pitching in, leading by example, and earning the trust and respect of your community.

Cooper Coughlan is a busy teenager.  Fortunately for the rest of us, he tends to channel that energy into making DJDS stronger, kinder, and a little more fun.

Mazel tov, Cooper.

Shabbat Shalom.
