Valley’s SHINE Award
Colson Rawlins
We are very excited to announce that 2nd grader Colson Rawlins is Valley’s February recipient of the SHINE award for the 2024-2025 school year. Our Character Education program is a key component to helping our students understand what it means to lead and to be good citizens. Every month, we honor one student who consistently demonstrates two or more pillars of character which are: Citizenship, Caring, Trustworthiness, Fairness, Respect, and Responsibility. To recognize these students for their efforts, Beavercreek City Schools has created the “SHINE Award – Highlighting Outstanding Students of Character.”
This is how Colson’s teacher, Mrs. Ernst, describes him:
Colson demonstrates positive character in so many ways. He is a student who works diligently at tasks and puts forth his best effort. He is a kind friend to others, often being spotted helping them when needed and showing concern when they are discouraged. That caring personality is evident in other ways, as well. Multiple times, I’ve observed Colson cleaning up stray paper towels in the boys bathroom without being asked. He’s the leave-it-better-than-you-found-it kind of person, as Mrs. Strait put it, and as his classroom teacher, I couldn’t agree more! He is respectful in his interactions with adults and classmates, and shows responsibility within those relationships. I am so proud of how Colson’s character shines through, being a great model to those around him!
We are so proud of you, Colson! Thank you for being such a great role model!
