Good
morning!! Welcome to a new day!
Please
email me by 10:00 AM so I can take and submit attendance.
Let’s
begin our day with prayer:
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;
He gave us eyes to see
them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
Please say the Pledge of Allegiance.
