Good morning!

Did you pray the Our Father yesterday at 12:00 Noon with Pope Francis? Great job!

Let’s begin our day with prayer.

Please pray

My God, I offer you today

Al that I think, do, and say,

Uniting it with what was done,

On earth, by Jesus Christ

Your Son.

Amen

Please say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Have terrific day of learning!  See you later!
