A
Prayer
For
The
Virtue
Of
Respect
Dear
God,
You
have
done
such
a
marvelous
job
of
creatingus
and
the
world
around
us.
Among
your
greatest
gifts
are
our
friends
and
acquaintances.
They
are
the
yeast
in
the
dough
of
life
–they
make
life
lively
and
interesting.
We
come
to
You
now
asking
for
the
grace
and
strength
to
keep
a
sense
of
respect.
We
hope
that
by
recognizing
and
honoring
the
shared
Spirit
in
everyone
we
meet,
we
can
contribute
to
making
our
school
a
safer,
more
caring,
more
inclusive
community.
May
Your
gift
of
respect
help
us
to
live
each
day
with
the
confidence
that
we
are
in
the
company
of
people
who
are
not
strangers
but
who
are
our
spiritual
brothers
and
sisters.
We
ask
this
in
the
name
of
Jesus
our
Brother,
who
lived
to
show
us
your
way.
Amen
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We
have
now
begun
the
second
term.
Thank
you
to
staff,
students
and
parents
for
coming
together
for
the
recent
interviews
to
collaborate
and
plan
for
further
success.
Despite
the
many
activities
which
occur
around
the
school,
we
must
always
appreciate
the
fact
that
our
main
goal
is
the
full
educational
development
of
children,
in
an
academic,
spiritual
and
physical
sense.
In
particular
teachers
are
focusing
their
literacy
and
numeracy
instructions
to
ensure
constant
student
progress.
In
addition,
we
are
truly
blessed
with
so
many
talented
staff
who
generously
go
above
and
beyond
to
provide
athletic
and
artistic
experiences
for
students
outside
of
the
regular
day.
As
we
move
through
the
remainder
of
the
year,
we
all
work
towards
maintaining
a
healthy
balance
as
we
provide
educational
opportunities
for
the
students.
