Today, we want to take a moment to recognize two incredible students that represent the type of young leaders that we strive to train up at Morning Glory. Carla Aide Alvarez Sil (C) is in 4th grade and Thomas Haynie (T) is in 6th. Both of these young people have proven themselves to be dependable, responsible, and respectful to peers and professors. Because of their exemplary accomplishments and behavior we consider Thomas and Carla to be “Images of Glory”: students that embody our core values and commitment to Christ-like attitudes and actions. Today, we give them a chance to express their thoughts and opinions of their time at Morning Glory.
