This year's prayer, which the students will recite each morning, is as follows:

 

Dear God,

Help me spend today with a smile on my face, love in my heart, and joy in your grace.

Help me focus my mind on learning, and give me the strength to act according to your will.

Amen.

CHOOSE KIND

 

These two words easily sum up Christ's teachings of how we should act towards one another.

We are all created by the Lord, and God does not make mistakes.

We, as Christians, are called to treat each other with kindness and to love our neighbor as ourselves.

 

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
