We have so many outstanding students at Baldwin and that is how the "Let Your Light Shine" program got started. Faculty and staff can recognize students showing outstanding characteristics. When a student is nominated their name is announced over the intercom for all to hear, and to show all our students that their good behaviors and characteristics will be rewarded.
