Dear Parents,
This morning we had the privilege of hosting very special Grandpals at a lovely morning assembly and to deliver personal messages received from family members who were not able to join us today. Grandpals' Day is one of the most anticipated and exciting days of the school year for students, faculty and staff. Your daughters were beaming with pride as they showed off their classrooms and school facilities and introduced their teachers. It is our hope that this day highlights the importance of, and respect for family and community. I'd like to thank Reverend MacDonald for sharing the following prayer that he closed the assembly with:
Loving God,
We thank you for our grandparents, aunts, uncles and all our families,
For their never-ending love and support,
Their wisdom and guidance, and their time.
Help us be patient and appreciate them,
That we may always show them how much we love and respect them.
May you keep them in your loving care,
Watching over them always, as they watch over us.
This we pray,
Amen.
