Our Lady of Mount Carmel School
Golden Cross Award Recipients for November
Maren Yonkman and Elena Montero
The Golden Cross Award is presented to two students a month who exemplify our school motto to be “Stewards for Christ” by using all the gifts that God has given to them, both natural and supernatural, in service to God and others.
The Golden Cross, which these students wear throughout the month, is the greatest symbol of the love Jesus has for us, and His mission, which he expressed in the words “I did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give my life as a ransom for many.” It is Jesus that we seek to imitate through a life of grace and virtue. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
After careful consideration of all nominations submitted, Maren Yonkman and Elena Montero were chosen to receive the Golden Cross Award. Please find here the nominations for both students:
Maren Yonkman shows the virtues of kindness and friendship. She is always so kind and
includes everyone in games or if they are just feeling lonely. She is a good best friend and wants
to be friends to everyone. I love being her friend and so does everyone else. She also never
gossips.
Elena Montero shows the virtues of respect and friendship. She is very respectful when our
class prays the rosary. At recess she includes everyone in a game. If you have not played before,
she will take time to explain it to you.
