Simon N. Cooper
Mar. 23, 2023 8:55 am
Simon Cooper was born to Beth and Nathan Cooper on March 28, 2005. He completed his family of six joining brother Judah, 22, and twin sisters, Ellee and Clara, 20. Rod and Diane Cooper and Frank and Karen Mortimer, his delighted grandparents, welcomed him to the family.
He joined the Class of 2023 in 2nd grade. He has participated in soccer and E-Sports. When he is not busy at school, he enjoys music and playing video games.
His most special memory is when Mr. White told him he liked his work, but not him as a person. (That Mr. White is such a kidder!).
Simon’s most embarrassing moment concerns puking. He can’t remember the grade he was in, but he was feeling horrible. So he walked up to Mr. Barron, who was subbing for Mrs. Bliven, and before he could say, “I don’t feel so good, can I go to the nurse,” he puked right in front of Mr. Barron’s feet.
His special people are his family. He says of them, “They are always there for me…even when I don’t want them to be.”
Simon’s advice to the underclassmen is don’t procrastinate, it kind of sucks when you do.
While he is looking forward to high school being over, his future plans are to go to SCC and take animation and computer science classes.
Tiger Nation wishes Simon the best as he embarks on his next endeavor.
