Introducing the SHINE wall! This year we will be highlighting a young man and a young lady each week, who have demonstrated SHINE. The idea for the SHINE wall is taken from Matthew 5:16 that says "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deed and praise your Father in heaven." So we are encouraging students to:
Scholastic Achievement: "Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding." Proverbs 3:13
Helpful to others: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others" Philippians 2:3-4
Integrity: "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No', 'No'." Matthew 5:37
Neighborly: "Love your neighbor as yourself" Leviticus 19:18
Enthusiastic Participation: "David...danced before the Lord with all his might." 2 Samuel 6:14
Each student selected will be awarded a certificate, and their picture will be placed on our SHINE wall in the hall at Mercy Street, as well as on our blog.
