Loving God,
Thank You for the gift of a new school year and for bringing us back together as a community.
Bless our students with curiosity and a love for learning.
Bless our teachers and staff with compassion, creativity, and strength.

This year, inspire us to learn like the saints;
with open minds and humble hearts,
with a desire for wisdom and truth,
and with a spirit ready to share our gifts in service to others.

May our schools be filled with faith, friendship, and joy,
and may everything we do draw us closer to You.

Through Christ our Lord we pray.
Amen.
