PRAYER FOR SCHOOL DAY

Loving God, 

Bless this day!  Bless our school community and our families. 

Give us your Spirit of wisdom so that we may grow in faith and knowledge. 

Strengthen us to have hearts of kindness, helping others so that everyone feels included and loved.  

Lord, help us to always follow the model of Jesus as we play, learn and grow. 

We make this prayer through Jesus, our brother, teacher and friend. 

Amen.
