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.

​

Those students that read with grace, and those that need grace to read.

Those that lift others up, and those that need to be lifted up.

Those that embrace learning, and those that need embraced to learn.

Those that make us smile, and those that 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.
