Loving and Gracious God,

we thank you for the opportunity to begin this new school year.
Allow us to experience your presence in everything that we do and every
blessing that you give us.
Open our eyes to the new challenges and exciting opportunities that this
new school year brings.
Open our hearts and minds to new friends and teachers.
Give us a generous spirit to be enthusiastic with our studies and the
courage to accept new opportunities.
Inspire us to do our best this year
together with the parents and students.
Amen.
