• Dear Jesus,
  Thank you for the gift of learning!
  I want to grow closer to you
  in everything I do at school.
  In math and science, help me to see
  your beautiful plan in the world.
  Help me to discover new stories
  and values as I read and write.
  In arts and music, help me to be creative.
  In sports, help me to treat my teammates
  and my opponents fairly.
  Help me to learn new skills
  in technology.
  Jesus, you are the perfect teacher.
  Help me to listen with open ears,
  an open heart, and an open mind
  to all my teachers at school.
  Help me to treat my classmates
  with care, kindness, and respect.
  Thank you, Jesus, for school!
  Amen.
