Autumn Prayer
O God of Creation,
You have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.
As we embrace these autumn months,
May the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.
May the crunch of the leaves beneath our feet
remind us of the brevity of this earthly life.
May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us your breath of life.
May the scurrying of the squirrels and the migration of the birds
remind us that you call us to follow your will.
We praise you for your goodness forever and ever. Amen.
From The Principal
Dear Parents/Guardians,

Have a wonderful time at the festival and enjoy next Monday's Columbus Day Holiday! Have a great weekend!
God Bless,
