Way to go, Shine Day crew!
Thanks to all who made Shine Day a huge success last Saturday, October 3rd! We had 200 volunteers cleaning, painting, building and organizing — it’s amazing the huge impact we can make when we all offer a few hours of our weekend.
Here’s part of a letter from the facilities manager of Kearny High School:
“Words can not express the overwhelming feeling I have. I am brought to my knees in gratefulness and thank you’s to all of you. I’d like to especially thank everyone who didn’t give up from last year’s cancellation and the wonderful way of organizing and hearing our needs and cheerfully responding to the school. You have made Kearny a place to be proud of, and a place that “shines!” once again. I am so lucky to be part of Kearny and to get to know such wonderful people as Flood has and is. It’s been a long time since I’ve been around a group of folks who are truly filled with the spirit. It was so nice to be here and be part of this.”
Check out these photos from the day:
There was some wall washing…
Some lunch table scrubbing…
And a whole lot of gum scraping…
Clearing out some space in the backstage area
Painting the KHS picnic tables
Thanks to all the kids & families who participated!
Kearny Komets’ cheerleaders kept our morale high.
Thanks to the marrieds’ community group for grilling all those burgers!
It’s great to see God build community as we serve together!
Thank you all for making Kearny a cleaner campus. If you missed out, we’ll see you next year when it’s time to SHINE!
