Being Made in God's Image
Pursue your dreams
Open your mind
See yourself in God's eyes
I believe in myself
Treat others respectfully
Invite God into your life
Venture toward your goals
Everyone should be seen in God's eyes
Interpret God's words wisely
Make good decisions in life
Act Politely
Greet each day with a smile
Enjoy life to its fullest!
Written by Mrs. De Stefano and Mrs. Anderson's 7th Grade Group, Vince, Michael, Danny and Matt.

Being Made in God's Image
I wake up early knowing God
loves me
I look in the mirror, what
do I see?
God's gift of life staring
back at me.
I know throughout the day
God is with me
Seeing exactly what he made out of me.
Written by Mrs. Ryan's 7th Grade Group, Jack, David, Michael, Jake, Luke, Maxwell, Michael W.
