SCHOOL PRAYER

This is our school

Let happiness dwell here.

Let the rooms be filled with contentment 

Let love be here, 

Love of one another,

Love of all people,

Love of being alive,

And love of God.

Let us remember,

That as many hands build a house

So all of us together,

Make one happy school.

Amen.
