A Blessing for the School Year:
- May the road rise up to meet us, May the wind be always at our backs, May the sun shine warm upon our faces, And the rain fall soft upon our fields. May our hearts be filled with kindness, And our minds with the light of knowledge, May we embrace each day with curiosity and joy, And find strength in every challenge we face. Bless our teachers with patience and wisdom, And our students with eagerness to learn, May we work together in harmony and respect, And build a community of care and support. May we strive for excellence in all we do, And may this year be filled with growth and grace, Guided by the spirit of friendship and understanding, As we embark on this journey together. So, best of Luck and have a wonderful year ahead!
