Our History
From Our Principal
Thank you, Father, for having created us
And giving us to each other in the human family.
Thank you for being with us in all our joys and sorrows,
For your comfort in our sadness,
Your companionship in our loneliness.
Your presence in our gladness
Thank you for yesterday, today, tomorrow
And for the whole of our lives.
Thank you for friends, for health and for grace.
May we live this every day and always be conscious
Of all that has been given to us.
~Laurie Michener
