A Great Way to Start the Day
Sometimes the best way to start your day is by thinking about others and gathering as a community.
At Mayfield Junior School students, teachers and many parents gather at the start of each day for Morning Prayer. In a few moments before running off to class or work, the school community shares timely facts and announcements, celebrates accomplishments and remembers each other and the world in prayer.
Led by student council with a presentation each week by an individual homeroom or advisory, Morning Prayer provides our children with real life experiences that encourage comfort and proficiency in public speaking and create opportunities to develop leadership and organizational skills. From an early age students learn to be active and respectful listeners.
Morning Prayer concludes each day with a student-selected thought for the day; words of wisdom, encouragement or an expression of peace - “as you go about your day, remember….”
How often can a group of 500 plus be of one mind and one heart?
