Prayer for Inclusion

Father of all that is good and holy,

We ask that You bless us with Your infinite love and mercy

as we work with all students in your image.

Students who read with grace, and those who need grace to read.

Students who lift others up, and those who need to be lifted up.

Students who embrace learning, and those who need embraced to learn.

Students who make us smile, and those who need a smile.

Grant us the knowledge, patience, and compassion to serve all students

in our care for they have Your gifts to celebrate.

We ask this in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Christie Bonfiglio, Ph.D.
