We praise and thank you for the gift of this school year.
It has been a time filled with grace and blessings,
With challenges and opportunities, joys and sorrows.
Give us the rest and refreshment we need this summer.
Let our efforts of this past year bear fruit
Bring all of our plans to a joyful conclusion,
And bless us, according to your will.
May we continue to grow
In age, wisdom, knowledge and grace
All the days of our lives.
Amen.
