Loving God,
We thank You for the gift of this school year.
We are grateful for all the challenges faced, the knowledge gained, and the friendships that have grown.
As we step into the slower rhythms of summer, grant us rest from our busyness.
Watch over our students, teachers, and families in the weeks of rest ahead.
Keep us safe, refresh our spirits, and help us return with renewed energy when the time comes.
Guide our steps and help us to continue to grow in wisdom and grace. Amen.
