Father, thank you for the relaxation of our summer vacation and the anticipation of another school year.
Please bless WCA, our beloved school community.
Bless us with joy in seeing old friends and making new ones.
Bless us with excitement for new experiences and adventures.
Let our halls be filled with kindness and peace.
Let our classrooms be filled with enthusiasm and energy.
Let our stage be filled with song, laughter, and love.
Let our cafeteria be filled with conversation and friendship.
Let our athletics be filled with sportsmanship and teamwork.
Let our chapel be filled with reflection and prayer.
Watch over all who are here to learn, replacing anxiety with curiosity, fear with inquiry, and exhaustion with rejuvenation.
Watch over all who are here to teach and fill them with wisdom, patience and understanding for all the students they are here to serve.
Watch over our administration, staff, PTA, parents, and benefactors and help them lead following the example of Your Son, the Divine Teacher.
Finally, Father, we ask that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we grow closer together as Your children and as an extended family through Jesus, our Savior.
Amen
